2017 ASHS Annual Conference

All professional scientists, whether in academia, industry, or the government sector, are expected to publish the results of their work in one form or another. Scientific writing, in any format, is a skill that can be critical to the success of a graduate student, but many students lack a concrete understanding of what makes a successful publication. In this workshop, students will be able to apply the ideas and techniques discussed within to improve their writing and gain a greater understanding of data presentation and analyses, and the publication process. The topics covered will help students increase writing productivity, gain insight on how to effectively communicate to different audiences, understand how to collect, manage, and transform data, and proper ways to present data and statistics for publication. The speakers have expertise in scientific publishing (both research and extension), and will provide personal experiences and case studies that have helped them create successful publications.

Afterwards, there will be time for a Q and A session with the speakers, as well as Neal De Vos and M. LeRon Robbins, Editors in Chief of ASHS publications
