Communicate Your Research Effectively: Fundamentals of Writing in Plain English

This course introduces the principles of plain-language communication and how to apply them to make scientific writing clear, concise, and persuasive. Designed for scientists and clinicians in any stage of their career who want to reach a broader audience.

General Information

Course description
Science is only useful when it is understood. When you write in plain language, you will make your research easy to understand; your readers will be able to find the information they need, use what they find, and overall, appreciate the significance of your research. Your readers include not only your peers, but also researchers from other specializations, patients, grant reviewers, ethics committee members, journalists, and the general public.

In this workshop, you’ll learn
- the principles of plain-language writing,
- tools and guidelines that can help you write a scientific paper in plain English, and
- the process of writing public-facing summaries of your research, such as plain-language summaries of scientific papers, lay summaries of clinical trial results, and project summaries of grants.

Even as your readers benefit when you write plainly, it’s you – the scientific communicator – who’ll gain the most. Register for the course and find out why!
Target Group
Researchers in life sciences and medicine and clinicians at any career stage
