The Journal of the International AIDS Society Editorial Team is pleased to announce that in a continuous effort to offer training and guidance to authors, this year JIAS will again be organizing skills building workshops at the 6th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention on scientific writing and publishing. More information is provided below.
Professional Development Workshop “Publish or Perish” Scientific Writing Workshop Monday, 18 July, 11h00 – 14h00 IAS2011 Conference venue, Mini Room 1 (Open to all conference delegates on a first-come, first-served basis) This interactive workshop provides an overview of the scientific writing process and an introduction to the publishing process for less experienced authors. The writing section will cover key components of a scientific manuscript and it will also highlight some of the resources available for authors. The publishing section will describe the publication and the peer-review process, and also address ethical issues in scientific writing. A panel of editors will give an insight into the workings of an editorial office and discuss the most common reasons for rejection of manuscripts. The aim is to make the editorial decision-making process transparent and provide practical information on how to navigate the publication process by avoiding common pitfalls.
