IAP 2011 Activity


Structuring Your Scientific Paper
Dr. Jean-luc Doumont, Communication Consultant, Principiae
Tue Jan 25, 02-04:00pm, 32-123

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Papers are one of the few deliverables of the work of researchers. 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 prompt decisions, or remain unread. Based on Dr Doumont's book Trees, Maps, and Theorems, about “effective communication for rational minds”, the lecture shows how to structure scientific papers, theses, and technical reports effectively at all levels to get the readers' attention, facilitate navigation, and, in this way, get the message across optimally.
