SCADEMIA: Workshops & Services for Authors

 Scientific work is evaluated by the number and quality  of publications in high-ranking journals. Improving the quality of scientific publications is crucial for scientists, institutes and  societies throughout the world. SCADEMIA improves the number and impact of your publications through training and support.

Training and Tutoring

At the core of SCADEMIA lies a series of workshops. These workshops are aimed at all scientists and are adapted to the level of the participants. The workshops are modular and recurring.

Short Courses & Workshops for Scientists: In-house or at Conferences

The SCADEMIA courses are developed for various occasions: They might be held as short courses during conferences or they can be held in-house at academic institutions. A sample workshop schedule you may see here: SCADEMIA Schedule. Just recently we were asked by a large scientific society to develop a short version and here it is: SCADEMIA_Schedule_halfday.

Workshops for Publishers

In 2014 THOSS Media started a new workshop on “Effective Scientific Publishing”. The one-day workshop was held for the publishers of a mid-size scientific publishing house. The customized schedule can be seen here: Effective_Publishing.
