About this video

In this practical webinar, Editor Professor Bert Blocken shares some of the most common mistakes early career researchers make when preparing and submitting a manuscript to a scientific journal.

Publication pressure is rising, and so is the sheer number of papers being produced. Yet average quality appears to be slipping. That makes clear guidance on how to write a strong journal article more valuable than ever.

Plenty of best practice guides already exist. This session takes a different approach. Instead of listing what you should do, Professor Blocken highlights 10 things you should certainly not do. He draws these lessons from his own experience in the exact sciences and engineering, though many of them will ring true whatever your field.

Join us to learn from real-world examples and gain the confidence to submit your work well.
