Description Student teams work with academic mentors to prepare a scientific or technical report suitable for publication. Academic mentors provide data from their research findings, which have been previously documented in the form of research reports, patents and student theses.
Students are allocated projects based on their nominated preferences for potential papers offered from a range of bioscience disciplines. The academic mentor clearly defines the background and scope of the work to be written up and supplies all the relevant raw data and reports. The student drafts the entire content of the paper including the Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions, Bibliography and associated Tables and Figures. Each student receives instruction and constructive criticism throughout the project from their academic mentor. At the end of the assignment, the student will be expected to be completely familiar with the scientific foundation and objectives of the work covered in the paper. Students gain experience in the complete publication process from initial identification of target journals through to the preparation and submission of the final draft report. Note: The course is only available to students enrolled in the Diploma in Innovation Management program. |
