Most scientists at one stage or another are involved in the preparation and submission of an article or paper to a scientific journal.

There are several different types of resources when it comes to R&D projects, and it is important to know what they are, how you can access them, when you can access them and how to use them most efficiently without wasting them.

It takes a certain kind of person, commitment and perseverance to be a successful scientist, in any field or application…but take a moment to think about all the skills that you have developed as a scientist.

Communication of your science is core to your science having impact, and the well-established way to present scientific findings is in the form of an abstract.

Scientific experiments need to be replicable, otherwise the credibility of any results you get may become questionable if no one else can demonstrate what you did.

The scope of your project is what you are contracted or obliged to do with the time and funding provided, this is what is considered ‘in scope’ for your project.

At the beginning of your project, you should clearly understand what the project is planning to achieve as the primary outcome.

A proposal is usually used for requesting funding to do research.
