Writing a journal manuscript

Publishing your results is a vital step in the research lifecycle and in your career as a scientist. When you publish your results as a journal article, you make it possible for the scientific community to see it. Publishing your work allows you to get recognition for your results, and to exchange your ideas with the global scientific community. 

We have designed this tutorial to help you write the best article possible by providing you with points to consider, from your background reading and study design to manuscript structuring and figure preparation.

By the end of the tutorial you should know on how to:

  • Prepare prior to starting your research
  • Structure your manuscript and what to include in each section
  • Get the most out of your tables and figures so that they clearly represent your most important results.

You will also have the opportunity to test your learning with quizzes as we go.
