Assessment item 2 requires you to choose an experiment that you performed in your practical sessions and write up the results in the format of a scientific paper. You must select a journal that is suitable for the type of experiment that you will describe, and follow their ‘instructions for authors’ to format your document. You must attach a copy of the ‘instructions for authors’ or a sample article from your selected journal, to your submission.

To work through this process use the following library sources

• Science Direct to identify suitable journal titles
• Ulrichs to verify a journal title and locate the "guide for authors"
• Journal Citation Reports for information on the Journal Impact Factor

Each section uses a flash movie to demonstrate how to use the library source. You need to have a flash player installed.
