Center for Academic Writing “Impulse”
Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Writing is thinking on paper.
When writing about science, don't simplify the science; simplify the writing.
Writing is a lot easier if you have something to say.
The reason one writes isn't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.
Good writing is clear thinking made visible.
A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.
Only the educated are free.
One`s work may be finished someday, but one`s education never.
What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

Having experience of conducting over 200 training workshops to improve publication output worldwide the trainer, Jeffrey Robens, gave insights into publishing process from the initial steps of writing to the presentation of your research. The workshop was attended by 150 regional researchers with varied experience in publishing in international journals.
Though the number of participants was quite large, Jeffrey managed to create a collaborative atmosphere and interaction, encouraging questions and discussion. After each section there were hands-on tasks aimed at summarizing the section and turning theory into practice.
The main message of the workshop was communicating your research clearly and concisely through publishing in scientific journals and presenting your findings at conferences. Jeffrey gave some tips how to promote your research and make it more attractive for peers.
All the discussed strategies on improving the impact of your research are quite essential and the tutors are planning to transmit these ideas to the University researchers.
