Research Paper
- A single paper in the style of a journal article submitted
for publication
is due several 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 for publication in 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 in clear,
grammatical English (see McMillan, pp. 126-160 (3rd
ed.) or 167-205 (4th ed.)).
- Your drafts as
well as your final paper are expected to conform to the
specifications described in Instructions to Authors for BIOC 311.
- A paper published in Protein Expression & Purification will
be used as a STYLISTIC MODEL for your paper; a pdf of a
sample paper is uploaded in OWL-Space Resources
- Please carefully read over the policy BEFORE beginning
work on your paper.
- If you are in doubt about any part of the policy, please
ask the Instructor, not a TA or fellow students.
- Sign the pledge on the rough draft for each section of
the paper and on the final, revised paper:
"On my honor, I have neither given nor received any
unauthorized aid on this paper" [full signature]
