DESCRIPTION:Richard studied Biochemistry at the University of Bristol\, be
 fore moving to King’s College London to study for a PhD in Cell Biology.
  After graduating\, he moved to the US for a postdoctoral fellowship in Ch
 anning Der’s lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, wh
 ere he investigated the role of novel RHOA mutations in the development of
  gastric cancer. In 2019 Richard moved back to the UK and joined the PLOS 
 Biology team in November 2020. He covers a range of topics for the journal
 \, including molecular biology\, genetics/genomics\, structural biology\, 
 cancer.\nThe talk will give an overview of the processes that take place i
 n a scientific journal\, from submission of a study to the final decision\
 , be it acceptance or rejection. This will include how editors make decisi
 ons on new manuscripts\, how reviewers are selected and what is expected o
 f them\, as well as the habits of effective authors before submission and 
 when preparing a revision. The talk will also give guidance on how to writ
 e the manuscript – importantly dos and don’ts of titles and abstracts-
 \, as well as cover letters and rebuttals to reviewers\, and will cover wh
 at is a useful presubmission enquiry\, as well as when it makes sense to a
 ppeal a decision and how to do it. Lastly\, we will cover basic concepts i
 n Open Science\, its effects on scientific advance\, trust and reproducibi
 lity\, and Open Science implementation\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Richard Hodge (Sen
 ior Editor\, PLOS Biology)
