About
The course builds on verified methods and open-source tools to streamline scientific writing. It increases the speed and rigour of the writing while guiding researchers through the article development process. Several tools will be shared to support different stages of the article writing process, such as the discovery of relevant literature, processing and synthesising of this literature into new findings, and integration into original writings.

Course aim
This training provides researchers with an operating system that allows them to write quality scientific papers that can be published in top journals. The operating system provided will address the procedures (e.g., how to collect and reference papers), the supporting tools (e.g., reference manager), the paper structure requirements (e.g., IMRAD), and the writing in an integrated fashion. Most researchers do not have such an operating system that they can rely upon. This results in a lack of focus, the sensation of being lost, losing relevant ideas, the ability to find suitable sources to cite, poor writing or storytelling, missing submission deadlines, and finally, the rejection of the article. A scientific writing operating system can solve these issues and provide control towards completing the research paper project. Most importantly, it can significantly improve the chances of its acceptance for publishing.
