Through the generous support of the Faculties of Applied Science, Medicine, Science, Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies; the IsoSiM and High-Dimensional Bioinformatics NSERC CREATE training programs; and the CIHR Bridge training program, UBC now has a one year subscription to Nature Masterclasses https://masterclasses.nature.com/ .  This online training includes: 

·         15 modules, covering the entire publishing process (What Makes a Great Paper, Elements of Writing Style, Data Management and Presentation, Authors’s Responsibilities, Understanding Peer Review, and more)

·         Taught by Nature journal editors

·         Videos and activities designed for busy researchers 

With Nature Masterclasses you will learn: 

·         how to get the most out of the writing process;

·         how the manuscript selection process works;

·         what happens to your paper after submission;

·         what it takes to get published in top journals. 

UBC graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, staff and faculty may register and access the training here: https://masterclasses.nature.com/  .  Access is available from any UBC computer, including UBC-Okanagan.  If accessing from home, you must first VPN in. 

Thank you,
