This course has two parts. The course starts in March, the first meeting will be announced soon. Further dates will be made individually.

The first part consists of 3 lectures dealing with general facts about writing a scientific paper. Note that some of the tipps on writing a paper are specific to the broader area of neuroscience.

The second and much longer part of the course consists of the actual job of writing a paper.
For this purpose students will form teams of 2 persons (preferably from a similar field/background). I will schedule 4-5 meetings with each of these teams on an individual basis. For these meetings your task will be to write (first meeting) the methods part of YOUR paper and to read and comment the methods part of your team partner. The next meetings will then be on the results, introduction and discussion part and the last meeting on all the rest (abstract, figures etc.) In each meeting we will then work on both your and your partners parts and you will receive both feeback from me and your partner on how to improve your paper.
