Introduction
How can one maximise the impact and visibility of their research through effective preparation of manuscripts? One of the crucial activities in scientific research is presenting and sharing your findings effectively with your community in the form of a scientific publication.  Effective manuscript preparation enhances the delivery of your key discoveries and messages, allowing to better connect with your audience. While there is no definitive guidelines, this talk aims to offer advices to improve manuscript preparation skills and help appeal to potential reviewers and readers.

We will also discuss our process from submission to publication and describes the roles that editors play, consideration points, and best practices as a reviewer in peer-review process.

There will also be an hour session focusing on sentence structure in science writing.
