| Learning outcomes of a component: | (in Polish) Knowledge PhD student knows how to: • search for scientific information, evaluate sources, select and integrate information; • write scientific manuscript at the level acceptable in the best international journals; • evaluate scientific quality of others’ research; • effectively communicate scientific information to the community, using appropriate platforms; • participate actively in scientific discussions. Skills PhD student is able to: • communicate his/her research to scientific community as oral presentations, posters, and research and review papers; • prepare a manuscript, submit it to an appropriate high rank scientific journal, and accept criticism from peers in a constructive way; • participate actively in the peer review system: can assess the quality of research and a manuscript or grant proposal, can communicate his opinion in a polite and constructive manner; • communicate science to public through popular lectures and articles, active participation in public discussions, and consultancy. Attitudes • PhD student understands that science is based on full honesty and transparency, hence when doing research and communicating its results, all details have to be specified in a way that is clear and detailed enough to let others repeat exactly the same study; • PhD student is ready to accept comments, including criticism, in a constructive way, and understands that this is the best tool to improve his/ her scholarly work; • PhD student understands the need to share his/her research results with general public and the role of this process in the educational and financing systems • PhD student understands and accepts that an important part of scientific approach is dissemination of her/his research results and exposition of them to falsification tests; • PhD student perceives other scientists as partners in discussion, even if they represent different fields of science; • PhD student understands that even strong criticism should be always expressed in a polite and constructive manner. |

| Full description: |
(in Polish) The lectures will familiarize PhD students with the most important issues in writing scientific articles, making oral and poster conference presentations, and reviewing others work. Examples of well and purely done work will be presented and discussed with PhD students to pinpoint most important and common mistakes, and to learn the principles of good writing and presenting the work. During workshops PhD students will learn how to search and evaluate scientific information, and how to communicate science to the public; PhD students will be interviewed about different topics related to their specialties, but also to issues of more general interest. Each PhD student will submit a short research article and a review of a manuscript. This will require effective use of the skills learned in the first part of the course: information search, its verification, and summarizing the acquired knowledge. Each PhD student will also give oral presentation which will be followed by discussion, simulating conditions of a typical scientific meeting. This will expose PhD students to possible problems with understanding questions and formulating clear replies. The talks and discussions will be taped and analyzed later by the whole group, under teacher’s supervision. PhD students will also prepare posters aimed at general public, which will be reviewed by teachers and fellow PhD students. The posters should aim at popularizing scientific results. |
