In this presentation I share my advice on how to navigate the process scientists take from having a big idea to publishing their paper, and sharing the excitement about the new findings with the world. This presentation is closely related to the advice I gave in a series of blog posts:

Do you think journal publication is an easy process?
You write a research paper, submit it to the journal office and Voila! The editors will publish your paper.
If you think so, you are mistaken. Submitting your paper for publication in your desired journal can be tedious as many things need to be taken care of.

Power Hour at the 25th Bioorganic Gordon Research ConferenceMilka Kostic
Why are women not making it to the top levels of academia in life sciences? I highlight some data that might explain the "leaky pipeline", introduce the concept of implicit bias, offer links to resources, and post questions for discussion.

Communication is important part of science.
If a scientist carries out a major research project, but no one knows about it, or no one can understand it, the research if of little use.

Navigating publishing process - from a big idea to a great scientific paper!
1. Removing frustration
from the publication
process

Structure and Cell Chemical Biology

2. 3 KEY INGREDIENTS OF A GREAT PAPER
- BIG IDEAS
- HIGH QUALITY DATA
- AUTHORS WITH INTEGRITY
4. - Be mindful of the audience
- Craft the title and abstract
- Tell a story
- Put the Cover Letter to work
- Keep it simple
5 Tips for publishing scientific research
5. Be mindful of the audience
• Choose the journal to submit your work not only based on the IF but more
strategically in terms of the audience you want to target
• Treat Editors, Reviewers, and Readers with respect and empathy: put
yourself in their shoes to experiment with different ways to present your
data and explain your results
• Remembers that publishing a paper is a collaboration
9. Title
Abstract
Article
Title is THE most visible part of your paper and
probably the only opportunity to attract the reader's
attention.
A good title explains what the paper is about and why it
is significant with:
- clarity
- keywords
11. background statement
clearly defined question
how you addressed the question
accurate summary of key findings
how the findings help answer your
questions
concluding statement with
implications & speculations
Basic structure of a well-crafted abstract
12. Telling a story
"Many years later, as he faced the firing
squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was
to remember that distant afternoon
when his father took him to discover
ice.”
One Hundred Years of Solitude by
Gabriel García Márquez.
14. Telling a scientific story
– Compose the paper logically, not chronologically
– Provide context
– Tell the story through your figures
– Be organized
– Read a lot, and not just science
15. Putting Cover Letter to work
The cover letter is author’s secret weapon, but only if it:
- Explains why the paper is relevant
- Tell the Editors why the paper is a good fit for our journal
- Paint the bigger picture
- Share confidential information

Talk about your science & your scientists!!!
Abstract should be informative, interesting and as broadly accessible as possible. And there is a basic structure that if used well can really make every abstract you will write from now on achieve these goals.
