Editing Workshop

1. Editing Workshop

2. Timeline: what’s expected of you! • 1st drafts due: this Friday, February 14 • Editors will be emailed article assignments by Saturday afternoon • Edits due: Wednesday, February 19 • This meeting will be used to go through the edits with your authors and answer any clarifying questions • Upload all to Grey Matters Google Drive (email invite)

3. Submitting 1st Drafts • Upload first drafts to the GM Google Drive via the email invitation articlename_authorname

4. Editing • Rubric emailed to all writers/editors • Comments feature MS word • Save a copy of the article w/ your edits to GM Drive: articlenameEDITS_authorname_editorname • Save a filled-out rubric titled as follows to GM Drive: articlenameRUBRIC_authorname_editorname

5. 3-Step Editing Procedure • Read article once through w/out stopping. • Read article again making corrections and margin notes as needed. • Fill out rubric  going back to specify exactly where in the article improvements can be made

6. C.A.P • Clarity: Does this make sense? Would it make sense to someone else? Could it be told in an easier way? • Appeal: Do you want to read it? Is it pleasing to read? • Purpose: Does this sentence/paragraph/etc. serve a purpose? Is the piece better for having included this? Does the piece as a whole serve the mission of GM?

7. Focus/Angle • One • Clear • Specific • Easily identified

8. Accuracy of facts • All facts serve to support the focus • Evidence is reported accurately • Citations of primary, peer-review sources

9. Introduction • Inviting • Informative • Clearly states topic/focus • You want to continue reading

10. Sequence • Logical order of presentation and paragraph structure • Sequence and structure aids in reader understanding and interest

11. Flow & RhythmWord Choice & RepetitionConventions and Grammar • Sentences sound natural, varied in length and structure • WC is vivid and illustrative without sounding like it tries too hard • Limited use of “jargon”  appropriate use of callouts/definitions • Proper grammar and conventions • Affect/effect • Their, there, they’re • punctuation

12. Science journalism: style & voice • Sense of audience • Appropriate tone • See presentation from last week’s meeting • Will be posted on greymattersjournal.com • Mindful of science’s relationship to knowledge • Proof/support • Evidence suggests • Competing theories

13. C.A.P • Clarity: Does this make sense? Would it make sense to someone else? Could it be told in an easier way? • Appeal: Do you want to read it? Is it pleasing to read? • Purpose: Does this sentence/paragraph/etc. serve a purpose? Is the piece better for having included this? Does the piece as a whole serve the mission of GM?

14. October 14, 2013 marked the launch of the Human Brain Project (HBP) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. It gathers researchers from over 130 institutions across Europe to further the field of neuroscience by developing methods that would make possible a more thorough knowledge of the workings of the brain. It is based upon six platforms: neuroinformatics, brain simulation, high-performance computing, medical informatics, neuromorphic computing, and neurorobotics, that will be built upon over the course of the next thirty months and will be ready for use in 2016. The project is critical to the field of neuroscience as it integrates computer processing with the ever-increasing amount of data researchers have to work with. Those working on this project hope for a deeper understanding of the brain's organizational patterns as well as new methods for diagnosing neurological disease and creating neuroscience-inspired technologies. The HBP focuses on a few strategic objectives that will hopefully lead to both concrete and intangible outcomes related to advancing the field of neuroscience. The lead researchers hope to combine information technology with neuroscience to analyze data and build upon existing capabilities. Only a few decades ago, there seemed to be insufficient data for researchers to study. But as neuroscience and biology grow in popularity and capability, it becomes ever more crucial to develop computational methods to analyze the generated data. It is anticipated that the HBP will only be the starting point for collaborative neuroscience research in Europe. As such, the project pushes toward a few strategic methods, including building future versions of this HBP platform, analyzing ethical aspects of working with the brain, developing trans-disciplinary education, and setting up a framework for future cooperation. As stated by Professor Karlheinz Meier, the co-director of the HBP, the goal is to “collaborate, collaborate, collaborate.” This is especially relevant with the integration of neurobiology and computing methods, allowing for faster analysis and allowing more time for the drawing of conclusions and the development of extensions upon existing work. No doubt that with the advent of such collaboration by some of the most well-known researchers worldwide, the field of neuroscience will continue to grow at an ever-increasing rate.
