This workshop help students to master the writing skills for scientific papers. More than just a course on scientific writing, this workshop aims to help students understand the ecosystem in which these papers exist, and even help increase their chances of publication. The trainer will bring students through the reviewer's process and help them to understand the editor's considerations. Students will learn how to write for the reader, not just in theory, but in practice. They will be doing some rewriting exercises with the reader scientist in mind (and especially the reviewer and editor). They will be given checklists and open-source assessment tools created specifically for this class (SWAN, etc.) to control the quality of their figures and of their manuscript’s title, abstract, introduction, structure, conclusions, and references. And finally, they will be looking at how to write fluidly to maintain the attention of the reader.
