Abstract

Reading and understanding journal papers is a key part of a degree programme, yet few students (especially undergraduate ones) will have experience of writing their own paper during their studies. Creating their own paper within the author parameters of a journal provides a greater understanding of the challenges academics face in writing-up their research for publication. It also gives students practice in summarising their findings, presenting information using normal scientific headings, writing abstracts or summaries and aims, and creating correctly presented Harvard reference lists.
