Event access: Internal
When publishing in scientific journals, it becomes clear time and again how strongly language influences the success of scientific papers – not only in peer review, but also in their visibility and reception within the scientific community.
In this workshop, the participants will discuss language as a central element of scientific quality and impact together with a professional (‘in-house’) editor of a Nature journal with a social and/or natural science focus. In the central Nature journals, the decision to publish a manuscript is made by the journal's editors, who are PhD scientists and are supposed to assess the relevance of the research. A particular focus will be on the tension between increasing (mathematical) formalisation and linguistic accessibility.
