Research Paper
- A single paper in the style of a journal article submitted
for publication
is due 3-4 weeks after the last day of laboratory class.
- Drafts of each section of the paper will be evaluated during the course and must be turned in with the final paper.
- It truly is in your best interests to pay attention to my
comments so that you can make improvements for your final paper
as well as not repeat readily avoidable mistakes.
- You are submitting a manuscript to the Journal
of Experimental Biosciences; Dr. Beason is the Editor-in-Chief,
and Dr. Caprette is an Associate Editor
- It is a condition
of publication that manuscripts must be written following
these "Instructions to Authors"
*Upon submission of your work on the due date, you will receive
notification whether your paper is Accepted or Rejected
- IF your paper is "Accepted" it will stay with me for grading
- IF your paper is "Rejected" you will receive an automatic one day late penalty (7 points deduction)
NOTE: you must pick up your paper by 5 p.m. that day and
re-submit the paper in the CORRECT format by 1 p.m. on the
next day; I will NOT accept your paper for grading UNTIL it is submitted in the specified format (late penalty = 10% per day)
**Early Submission: IF you submit your paper by
1 p.m. ONE day BEFORE the due date, I will notify you
if it's "Accepted" or "Rejected"
- IF your paper is "Accepted" it will stay with me for grading
- IF your paper is "Rejected" you can re-submit the paper
in the CORRECT format by 1 p.m. on the due date without
a late penalty
- A paper published in Protein Expression & Purification will
be used as a STYLISTIC MODEL for your paper
- Please carefully read over the policy BEFORE beginning
work on your paper.
- If you are in doubt then ask the Instructor, not a TA or fellow students.
