The session will be delivered by Dr Beatrice Gini, Training Coordinator at the Office of Scholarly Communication and an editor from PLOS.

During his PhD, Joe became interested in the world of scientific publishing, and in particular in how the process of publishing scientific research could be improved for the benefit of researchers and the wider public.
