Publishing is a crucial step in research, providing valuable peer feedback to validate and refine your findings. However, many researchers struggle with the editorial process, especially in addressing peer review comments. At Nature Masterclasses On-demand, they understand these challenges, that’s why they have recently revamped our flagship course, Publishing a Research Paper: 2nd Edition, to provide practical strategies and best practices that ensure a smoother path to successful publication. Bryden Le Bailly, Senior Editor at Nature and Alexia-Ileana Zaromytidou, Chief Editor of Nature Cancer will share insights on effectively revising your manuscript after peer review. They will cover how to break down complex feedback into actionable steps, refine your manuscript for clarity, coherence, and journal alignment, and tackle common challenges when addressing reviewer and editorial comments. They will also answer questions from the audience. Editors will discuss tips specific to STEM based publications AND universal tips for improving scholarly manuscripts. So all faculty for which the aforementioned apply are welcome!

Data management planning is fundamental for ensuring the quality of research and driving scientific progress, and many funders are therefore making it a mandatory requirement for applicants. But many scientists are still unsure how to go about creating one. In a survey of early-career researchers in Europe, only 25% of respondents had written a data management plan (DMP) before and another 25% did not know what a DMP was. This self-paced module will teach the structure and content of a DMP and how to set up one for your project.
