Neuroscience Research - organized workshops

“How to Publish High Value Science”

Co-hosted by : 

Neuroscience Research NSR/ Elsevier・The 39th Annual Meeting of Neuroscience Society

High value science is reproducible and ethical, establishing a solid baseline for future research. However, high value can also be defined as having high scientific impact in a field or for society. Neuroscience is a frontier field for the changing landscape of high value publishing that includes debates on how to ensure better replication, open data and preprint servers, editorial screening and peer review systems, publication metrics and researcher evaluation, and ethics in paper preparation. In this workshop, publishing experts will discuss how researchers and institutions can produce high value science.

Date & Time : 

Wednesday, July 20, 12:00 - 13:00

Place : 

Room J (313+314, Conference Center 3F, Pacifico Yokohama)

Organizers : 

Charles Yokoyama(Director of Research Administration, RIKEN Brain Science Institute),
