Workshop # 1
How to be more Prolific : Strategies for Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers and Grant Applications
Conveners : Bill Laurance (STRI, Panama) and Bette Loiselle (University of Missouri, St Louis)
This two-hour workshop will begin with a talk by Dr William Laurance, a research scientist with over 250 publications, including 20 papers in Science and Nature. Dr Laurance will summarize many of the strategies and tricks he has learned over the years that have helped him to consistently publish 10-20 papers per year. This presentation has received rave reviews at several major universities.
This will be followed by a presentation and discussion on writing cutting-edge grant proposals by Dr Bette Loiselle, a leading tropical researcher who is currently Population and Evolutionary Processes Program Officer at the U.S. National Science Foundation. Dr Loiselle will overview key strategies for writing highly effective research grants and proposals.
During his plenary lecture, Bill Laurance mentioned the paper by Tomas Grim (2008) A possible role of social activity to explain differences in publication output among ecologists. Oikos 117:484-487. pdf
