"

This was an excellent course and I would definitely recommend it... The opportunity to go through my abstract with the editors was fantastic. 

"

The exercises were comprehensive and interaction with the editors was superb. In general, being exposed to real manuscripts submitted to Nature journals and their detailed review process was a great way to learn about the publication process.

"

Content was excellent and well thought out. Mixture of 1-2-1 sessions, practical, and taught sessions worked very well
