Publications (BEPS)

Please note, this course is only for students within the following faculties: Business, Engineering & Physical Sciences.

Publications are important for the development of your research career and recognition of your research.  This blended course will provide guidance on producing a scientific paper and the reviewing process. It will also allow you to practice writing, peer review and to receive feedback.
