Hema has an educational background in banking and finance, and she is an Alumni Ambassador for the University of London. She has been with Editage for over 6 years. Having started out as an editor herself, she comes with years of experience in editing and reviewing manuscripts from a wide spectrum of fields in the Humanities; she is also on the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS). She has authored articles for Editage Insights and worked in the Client Service department of Editage, where she was responsible for assessing the quality of edited manuscripts, communicating with clients, and implementing strategies to improve our deliverables. As a part of her current role, she has mentored and trained several senior editors as well as reviewers, many of whom have gone on to play important roles in the Editing team. She has also conducted webinars for groups such as translators and students pursuing their masters, interviewed a professor from the London School of Economics, created content for animated video tutorials and podcasts, managed knowledge-sharing initiatives in the organization, and garnered feedback such as the following from her audience: Really helpful and it is a good way to learn from the experienced people. I absolutely loved it. The video really was perfect in every way for me as far as length, content, and relevance. I especially appreciated that suggestions were given for commenting changes to the author. Highly instructive and provided relevant and useful insights.

Topic 1: Structuring your manuscript to get published:

A well-structured and cohesively written manuscript is essential for catching the attention of journal editors and navigating the peer review process successfully. This session will focus on helping participants understand the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) format, a widely accepted structure for original research articles. Additionally, participants will gain practical tips on organizing bibliographic references to meet journal expectations and enhance their manuscript's readability.

Session Outcomes:
By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Understand the key components of the IMRaD structure and how to apply them effectively to their manuscript.
  • Learn practical strategies to enhance the logical flow and clarity of their manuscript.
  • Gain tips on organizing bibliographic references in alignment with journal-specific guidelines.
  • Identify common structuring mistakes and how to avoid them to improve manuscript quality.

Topic 2: From draft to submission: AI tools for optimizing the research workflow:

AI tools are transforming how researchers approach tasks such as literature reviews, manuscript writing, and submissions. This session will introduce participants to the most effective AI tools for optimizing each stage of the research workflow. Whether you’re an experienced AI user or exploring these tools for the first time, the session will provide insights into selecting the right solutions while addressing concerns about privacy, reliability, and ethical considerations. Additionally, learn how to integrate AI tools available within Editage Plus (All Access) to streamline your research journey.

Session Outcomes:
By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Gain a clear understanding of how AI tools can assist in key research workflow stages.
  • Learn how to select reliable and ethical AI tools based on their specific research needs.
  • Explore strategies to integrate AI tools into their workflow to save time and enhance productivity.
  • Understand the capabilities of AI tools available through Editage Plus and how to use them effectively.
  • Be aware of common challenges in using AI tools and strategies to address them, such as data privacy concerns.

Activity:

For the activity, will provide participants with shuffled excerpts from a sample research article (e.g., introduction, methods, results, and discussion). Participants would then be tasked with identifying and arranging the sections correctly according to the IMRaD structure. The session would conclude with a debriefing to discuss the purpose and essential elements of each section.

Couple of more activities of similar types.
