COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES:
Unfortunately, the education of African scientists is often so overwhelmingly committed to the technical aspects of
science in such a way that the communication arts are neglected or ignored. The cornerstone of the philosophy of this
course is based on the fundamental assumption that original research must be communicated through presentation and
published; only then can new scientific information be authenticated and added to the existing database that we call
scientific knowledge. This course will help scientists and students in all disciplines to prepare manuscripts for
submission to peer-reviewed professional publications that will have a high probability of being accepted for
publication and being understood when they are published. The course will provide the rubrics and methodologies for
efficiently communicating scientific findings to the broad community of scientists in a uniform and professionally
acceptable manner.
COURSE CONTENTS
The course consists of lectures and group exercises on the following topics: Framing research papers (analytical and
argumentative research); structure, format, content, and style of a journal article; primary and secondary research,
plagiarism, referencing and citations; analysis and interpretation of data; and writing and presentation of research work.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience for this course are graduate students at both the Master’s and PhD programmes levels, as well as
researchers who would all benefit from this course. Final year undergraduate students are also welcome and
encouraged to attend.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
This course will help develop an understanding of the process of writing a research paper as well as conveying
information about how research papers are assessed. Information will include: how to develop a logical framework of
research; how to select and evaluate reference materials; and how to present the results. After taking this course,
attendees will have a clear understanding of the process of writing a research paper. Upon completion of the course,
participants will be able to:
Develop a logical framework for research problems.
Select and evaluate reference materials.
Present results.
Construct and develop a research manuscript.
Appreciate how research papers are reviewed, assessed and evaluated.
