The TI-FRIS Academic Impact Course is designed to help early career researchers acquire the skills necessary to generate world-class academic impact, including publication in top journals.
 

The talk “Publishing in Nature journals” will be delivered by Dr. Olga Bubnova, the Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering, and is intended to cover the essential aspects of scientific writing and publishing in Nature Research and Nature Reviews journals with a strong emphasis on Nature journal standards and best practices. During this lecture, the participants will learn about the Nature family of journals, their hierarchy and editorial criteria. We will touch upon the editorial and peer-review process, publishing policies, cover letters and rebuttals. Finally, the key strategies for writing a Nature review article will be presented and the differences between the publication process in Nature Reviews and Nature Research journals will be discussed.
 

All members of Tohoku University and TI-FRIS participating universities are welcome to attend.
