This course focuses on capacity building to improve the skills of graduate students within the agriculture, environmental and natural resource management areas to prepare dissertation proposals, theses/dissertations, research papers, and conference presentations. The course participants will be encouraged to develop manuscripts based on their own research according to the style and format of the tri-societies – the American Society of Agronomy/Soil Science Society of America/Crop Science Society of America (ASA/SSSA/CSSA).
The course will also cover various other scientific publications: books and book chapters, technical reports, and extension publications. Other aspects covered will include the peer-review process including response to review comments, post-review revision, proof-corrections, and skills required as potential reviewers of manuscripts.
Prerequisites: Students should have completed at least one year of research
