Behind The Scenes (BTS)
The Behind-the-Scenes Seminar Series is designed to learn about the production process of research papers, offering an opportunity for students and researchers in all fields and at all career stages to engage with the challenges encountered during project development and how they were overcome.
What’s novel? Unlike most research seminars that focus on the research findings, this series will be dedicated to discussing the research process. Not only this, the seminars will also feature a live survey to gauge the audience’s expectations regarding the journey of the paper and compare them with the speaker’s actual experience. You can read more about the seminar format here: www.bts-seminar.net/about-5
Where and when? The seminar will be held monthly, will be recorded live on Zoom and will be open to everyone. Please note that since the seminar series is interactive, we will need to take consent from audience members.
