Strategies for scientific writing – courses and advice

Do you wish to properly formulate your research in writing? In order to write reader-friendly scientific texts, it takes more than just subject knowledge. It is equally important to properly structure your text, to use the correct scientific language, to apply strategies when reading, researching and managing references – and in most instances, it also involves considerable planning.
