Peer Reviewer Course Certificate
Peer review is the cornerstone of the scientific publishing process, yet editors face a daily struggle to find researchers willing to review for their journal. In this series of modules, we explain why it is so important to get involved in peer review and the many benefits it can bring. You will hear how carrying out peer review can sharpen your own writing skills and introduce you to some of the movers and shakers in your field. You will learn how you can volunteer, and discover the ethics guidelines you should comply with. Moreover, we explain why there is a move towards making peer review more transparent. elsevier.com International |

structuring article correctly
One of the key goals when writing a journal article is to communicate the findings clearly. In order to help researchers achieve that objective, scientific papers share a common structure (with slight variations per journal). Clear communication isn’t the only reason these article elements are so important; for example, the title, abstract, and keywords all help to ensure the article is found, indexed, and advertised to potential readers. In this interactive module, we walk early career researchers through each of the building blocks. We help you understand the type of content each element should contain. We also share tips on how you can maximize their potential, such as key points to consider when writing your article title. You will come away with the detailed knowledge you need to write an effective scientific article, increasing your chances of publication success. elsevier.com / Online International |

get book published
Books play an important role in defining the landscape in a particular discipline or field. Whatever your career stage, if you have yet to publish or contribute to a book, it could be time to reconsider! In this module, Stacy Masucci, a Senior Acquisitions Editor for Elsevier S&T Books, explains the benefits of becoming a book author or editor. She explores the results of a survey that asked book authors to share their motivations, and you’ll hear directly from some of them about what inspired them to take the first step. Stacy also highlights the variety of ways you can get involved in book writing; where publishing might fit into your career path, (for example, you might start by taking on a co-author role or contributing a book chapter); and how Elsevier can help you realize your book publishing goals. You’ll come away with the information you need to judge whether publishing a book is the right path for you and an understanding of how you can get involved. elsevier.com / Online International |

You will assess how data and design work together, including how to choose the appropriate visual representation for your data, and the difference between effective and ineffective visuals. You will apply effective best practice design principles to your data visualizations and be able to illustrate examples of strategic use of contrast to highlight important elements. You will evaluate pre-attentive attributes and why they are important in visualizations. You will exam the importance of using the "right" amount of color and in the right place and be able to apply design principles to de-clutter your data visualization. an online non-credit course authorized by University of California, Davis and offered through Coursera International |
