What Our Researchers Say

One of the best things about this course is that it has an entire module devoted to ethics, an important but often overlooked topic. The course itself is designed to give authors an in-depth look at everything they need to know in order to submit a manuscript for publication, and includes invaluable information for authors at any point in their careers.
