Seminar Schedule - All Graduate Students Expected to Attend Please send me your seminar titles! Dr. Ladisch Discussion on Preparing a Manuscript for Submission to a Referred Journal The preparation of a scientific paper for submission to a journal is a key part of communicating new findings. Based on the productivity of our research, our goal in LORRE is to publish 16 or more papers per year. This activity and goal will require proactive participation from all of us, and will provide valuable experience to students or researchers who have not previously published their work. Key elements for preparing a manuscript will be discussed, and steps leading up to a paper ready for internal review and submission will be addressed. Key elements to be part of our discussion include: o crafting the key take-home message, o concisely and clearly organizing data that supports this message, o presenting informative and integrated figures and tables, o applying of models and statistics, writing concise introductory and result sections, and then o threading elements of a manuscript into an integrated form that clearly explains what is new, unexpected, and/or fundamentally important. The need for building a paper as the research progresses will also be addressed.

This series is to help everyone access the resources they need to be successful. Each week will highlight a different "How do I" question. If you have suggestions for "How do I" questions, please send them to Nate Mosier (mosiern@purdue.edu<mailto:mosiern@purdue.edu>). At LORRE, how do I get help with problems with my desktop computer? Support for desktop computers at LORRE is handled through the Engineering Computer Network (ECN). Requests for software installation, problems with performance, etc. can be requested through the support website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/AboutUs/ContactUs). You should select "Potter Engineering Building," not "Agricultural & Biological Engineering" for your School/Department. If a computer repair or upgrade is needed to solve your problem, please let your advisor/major professor know right away. He or she must approve purchase of new equipment or parts.
