A Roadmap to Publishing in »Nature«

Do you have a fascinating and novel finding that seems like a potentially good match for a high impact journal – but are unsure how to craft the paper and navigate the review process? On June 14, from 10 a.m. Michael White, Nature’s editor for climate science, will demystify the process, from abstract to appeals, in his talk “A roadmap to publishing in Nature” which will take place at the BioQuant Grenier-Saal (INF 267). The journey will span minutiae like cover letters to the higher-level philosophy guiding decisions.
Bring your criticisms and questions for a lively Q&A following the talk!
