     The Art of Writing a Technical Paper

Overview:

Writing a technical paper in Information Technology (IT) or any other scientific field can be very rewarding if it’s done right.
In this workshop, we learn about the right way to write a scientific or technical paper. We will learn the structure of the scientific paper, from choosing the proper Title of the paper up to the conclusions and references sections. Each part (section) of the paper must follow a set of rules especially designed for it. Dividing the paper into well-defined sections will make it easy to read and understand.
You will learn the deference between the Abstract and Conclusions; you will also learn the difference between Referencing and Plagiarism.
