Resource of the Week #41: A Resource on Resources

By Barbara Gastel | 20 January 2012

Hello again. This week I’m featuring a resource on resources.

An AuthorAID community member mentioned this resource last week. Its title is "Authorship Skills Web-Bibliography".

This web-bibliography is a 42-slide PowerPoint presentation. Each main slide describes an online resource relating to research publication and contains a link to it.

Among topics of the resources are

    • avoiding plagiarism
    • citing sources
    • writing and publishing journal articles
    • editing and publishing journals
    • writing effectively in English

Some of the resources already have been mentioned at AuthorAID workshops or appear in the AuthorAID Resource Library. Also, I’m glad that AuthorAID is one of the listed resources.

This web-bibliography is from the HINARI Access to Research in Health Programme. Most of the listed resources apply to writing about research in many fields.

To access this web-bibliography, go to the HINARI Authorship Skills page. Then click on the link under “Module 4”.

I hope to add some resources from this web-bibliography to the AuthorAID Resource Library. Are there ones that you think are especially helpful?

If so, please let me know, either by posting a comment or by contacting me through the AuthorAID website. Doing so can help in deciding what to add.

Until the next post— Barbara

 

Scientific paper writing

I believe that you have given the key issues regarding writing research papers. In addition to citing, one could also talk about referencing, and the different methods/systems used.
