Structuring Your Scientific Paper
Dr. Jean-luc Doumont, Communication Consultant
Wed Jan 31, 02-04:00pm, 32-141
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Written documents are a typical outcome, if not the sole tangible deliverable, of the work of engineers, scientists, and other professionals. Well-designed, they efficiently allow each reader to learn only what he or she needs to. Poorly designed, by contrast, they confuse readers, fail to encourage decisions, or simply remain unread. This seminar will propose an effective structure applicable to documents in general, and to scientific papers and technical reports in particular.
