Scientific Publications

The publication of research results in refereed journals or conference proceedings is a central part of every scientists work. From the beginning of their careers, scientists have to train their verbal and written communication skills as these qualities are most sought after by potential employers. However, especially young scientists do not realize that scientific discourse is not the mere presentation of raw data or information, but rather the communication of its consequences.
