The scientific writing course “Write Your Scientific Journal Article” is a step-by-step set of instructions to write your scientific journal article in 10 weeks, or maybe faster. I will guide you through the writing process from the beginning until you are ready to submit your manuscript to the target journal. This course takes a project management approach and gives you step-by-step instructions to go from a blank screen to a complete manuscript for a scientific research article. This course is based on the lessons I have learned over decades of writing scientific articles, mentoring students, and teaching scientific writing.

**The course will be uploaded lesson by lesson until it is completed. If you don't see all the lessons in the playlist, subscribe to the channel and come back later. **
