WORKSHOP 2 RECORDING: Manuscript Writing
Presented by: Dr Kenneth Lee, UWA

Journal publications are an integral part of dissemination of research findings. However, it can be overwhelming to convert several months of research into a succinct manuscript that will be loved by peer-reviewers and attract readers.

This workshop is designed to give those who have completed their research projects, practical skills to transform their research data into publishable peer-reviewed literature.
