Online Scientific Communication Courses: Writing a Scientific Manuscript- Curso de Redacción de Manuscritos Científicos- Cours de rédaction de manuscrits scientifiques

This course originated as a three-day scientific writing workshop for global Field Epidemiology Training Program residents and emerging authors. Materials were converted to an e-learning course to expand reach and increase flexibility and convenience for learners. The course includes both infectious and noncommunicable disease examples.

Purpose:

This Scientific Manuscript Writing course guides learners through the process of writing and publishing an original research manuscript (called a “scientific paper” throughout this course).

Languages:

English, Spanish, French.

Structure:

This self-guided e-learning course consists of eight interactive modules designed for learners to complete at their own pace. Learners can start and stop as needed but must note where to resume the course, as the place will not be saved between sessions.  

Learners are encouraged to complete modules in order. After completing one module but prior to moving on to the next module, it is recommended that learners apply what was learned to a personal scientific writing project, preferably working with a mentor. Suggested steps for applying learnings are included at the end of each module.
