CSB Seminar: Dr. Cyrus Martin, Senior Scientific Editor, Current Biology

Abstract: 

Interested in what happens behind the scenes at a scientific journal? Come hear Cyrus Martin, Senior Scientific Editor of Current Biology, discuss the life of a professional science editor. You’ll learn about both the nuts and bolts of how a manuscript winds its way from submission to (hopefully) publication and also the goals of a general biology journal, which include the aim of fostering communication between scientists working in different fields. Finally, emerging changes to science publishing, such as the way scientists access literature and the growing popularity of preprints will be discussed.
