APECS Webinars

The Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium (ARICE, www.arice.eu) and Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS, www.apecs.is) invited for a webinar on Soft Skills: Manuscript Preparation and Results Advertisement (via Social Media), on 16 April 2021 at 9:00 am GMT.

The aim of this webinar was to provide insides on how to publish your scientific results successfully and how to advertise your findings to both the scientific community and the general public.

The webinar was organized in two parts:

In the first part, Executive Editor of the open access journal Ocean Science, Dr. Mario Hoppema (Alfred Wegener Institute) talked about how to prepare your data and manuscript to meet journal's requirements. Dr. Hoppema provided tips on the technical side of paper preparation and writing from the viewpoint of the editor.

In the second part, we focussed on the results presentation and advertisement. Ann Kristin Montano (GEOMAR; projects CUSCO, EVAR and REEBUS), an expert in scientific communication, talked about how to present your scientific results to the broad public and how to use social media. Later, Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez (GEOMAR), biological oceanographer, provided examples of polar outreach activities.
