Title

Academic writing and scientific integrity

Abstract

This presentation has two parts:

- academic writing, and

- scientific integrity

Based on years of experiences of being an editor, editorial board member, and reviewer of various international journals, Professor Kuei-Min Chen will illustrate the four steps of writing a journal article: planning, preparation, writing the manuscript, and getting published. Examples of writing a paper outline, cover letter, and response letter will be given. At the end, the scientific integrity in terms of duplicate publications, plagiarism, authorship, and transparency will be described.
