Despite traffic jams caused by bad weather, 33 participants filled the room at Kyushu University for an Elsevier-sponsored event titled "Author Workshop for Young Researchers" on March 13. Cohosted by the university's Global Center of Excellence (G-COE) program Science for Future Molecular Systems, the event culminated planning led by Kyushu University Associate Professor Msaaki Abe, the head of the G-COE's course International Scientific English, and Professor Chihaya Adachi, the regional editor of the Elsevier journal Organic Electronics.
Professor Adachi, a member of the university's Center for Future Chemistry and the head of the Adachi Laboratory, spoke on "How to Get Published in Scientific Journals," and Executive Editor Chad Walker of Edanz Group Ltd. spoke on "Writing Research Papers: Tips from a Science Language Editor."
The workshop came about because of a query from G-COE
Office Secretary Ms. Tamura, who had seen our Publishing
Connect events site at http://japan.elsevier.com/aw. After the
event, she said, "The workshop was very productive and
successful. The feedback I got from participants was all positive.
If there's any chance of staging this kind of workshop a second
time, we'll definitely want to collaborate with Elsevier again."
