  • ZOO 5270: Writing and Reviewing Science

    4.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    This course will help students prepare a scientific manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal; in so doing, students will become more effective, efficient, and confident writers. Students will learn principles of effective writing, how to prepare a manuscript for publication, navigate the peer-review process, and write a constructive review. Prerequisite: Students must have graduate standing and an analyzed dataset on which the manuscript will be based. Students must have approval from their advisors and key collaborators before embarking on this journey. We also encourage students to maintain this approval throughout the semester.
