The course is designed for researchers in developing countries, particularly those working in a scientific field (life sciences / natural sciences / other related fields).

Main topics covered in the course: 

• Core topics (weeks 1 to 5) – Literature review, publication ethics, targeting the right journals, writing and publishing a research paper.
• Optional topics: (weeks 6 to 8) Writing a grant proposal and Communicating Research Outside Academia (learners can choose either subject or both)

Course dates: 4^th September to 29^th October 2018

Course leaders: Andy Nobes and Ravi Murugesan of INASP, along with a team of experienced guest facilitators from the AuthorAID network.

Complete information about the course along with enrolment instructions are available on the INASP Moodle website: https://moodle.inasp.info/enrol/index.php?id=142. You will need to create an INASP Moodle account if you don’t already have one. Please follow the instructions carefully (you may need to click on the above link again after registering your account).

Please note that although this is an open course, we may have to limit enrolment due to server capacity. We suggest that you enrol in the course as soon as possible if you are interested.

INASP designs and runs capacity development activities that cater for both women and men’s interests and needs. We use methods that increase active participation and an inclusive learning environment, adopting attitudes and behaviours that value differential experiences and perspectives and ensuring listening and respect for each other’s experiences and views.
