For a research discovery to have a sustaining impact on science, it has to be accessible in the literature in the form of a publication. And it is a key competence of a well-educated scientist to be able to present scientific results clearly and unequivocally to the scientific community with a well-written, meaningful publication. But especially beginners tend to be hesitant and even timid of writing their first reports and manuscripts. Therefore, in this hands-on workshop, it will be shown by representative examples and with practical exercises that the actual writing and assembly of a scientific manuscript may be a straightforward and even pleasant process. Specifically, general conceptual guidelines will be presented for writing and submission of a scientific manuscript; and typical rookie mistakes and frequently encountered pitfalls will be addressed. In addition, the reviewing/revising and publishing processes will be described. And advice will be given for appropriate dealing with coauthors, editors, and reviewers. Special attention will be paid to aspects that are specific for publications in STEM subjects.
