Hazen, Beth [1].

Scientific Writing and Editing.

LEARN to:
· Correct common problems with grammar, punctuation, style, word usage, tables and figures
· Use commas correctly
· Recognize indicators that signal problems
· Write more concisely, eliminate unnecessary words
· Write complete, succinct captions for tables and figures

Workshop presented by Beth Hazen, manuscript editor for 10+ years, specializes in editing for non-native English writers. Pertinent areas of grammar, punctuation, terminology and word usage, and style will be discussed, with an emphasis on examples from manuscripts submitted for publication. Participants will receive a reference handbook, writing and editing for plant scientists, written by Beth, which expands on workshop topics. Questions for coverage in the workshop may be e-mailed to Beth (behazen@willowsend.net) until five days before the meetings start. Sample paragraphs for onsite editing may be sent until 2 weeks before the meeting.
