SUMMARY:ABRF: Publish Like a Pro\, Strategies for Writing a Technical Paper
DESCRIPTION:Publish Like a Pro:  Strategies for Writing a Technical Paper \nGuide to Writing a Technical Scientific Paper: How to get started and what is involved \n \nJanuary 15\, 2026 \n12:00 – 1:00 pm ET \nRegister here \n\nAre you interested in publishing your work\, including the methods and techniques used in your shared resource/facility\, but don’t know where to start or where to get help? \n\nCould you benefit from expert assistance to advance your ideas to a final publication? \n\nJoin us in January for this valuable session to learn more about how to raise your profile and advance your career by publishing in ABRF’s Journal of Biomolecular Techniques (JBT).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary Agenda and takeaways: A scientific paper is a structured argument based on evidence\, designed to contribute new knowledge and advancement to a field.  A well-organized manuscript facilitates understanding\, evaluation\, and potential replication by peer reviewers and subsequent researchers\, engaging them through a logical narrative from the research question and methodology to the findings and their significance. Publishing serves to disseminate knowledge and establish expertise\, connects individuals with peers in their field\, and fosters collaboration and professional development. This webinar will address the following topics: \n\nWhat is needed (data) to publish\nThe key components of a scientific paper and what information to include in each\nHow to start writing\nSelecting a target journal (each reflects content based on its readership)\nGeneral Writing Principles\n\nFor more than 25 years\, JBT has offered ABRF members the opportunity to share their work with the broader research community\, without page charges or color charges.  All JBT content is indexed and referenced in PubMed Central\, providing wider visibility and citations for your valuable research.
