Types of scientific reports and periodics (reminder from ch. 3.1.) - original contribution (the article) - universal communication tool, it exists in several forms, the style of writing should be standardized - review - summary of already published results with new interpretations, critical approach is highly needed here - monographs, books - collections of already published, discussed results in a way that resulting book will have long-term validity - popularization article or a book - must be accessible to broad reader’s community (public), it is not a true scientific report - bachelor, diploma, dissertation and habilitation theses - their purpose is to get the academic or scientific degree, might be a separate “thick” treatise or just collection of already published papers B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

- bibliographic search - thesis itself may contain experimental results, but bibliographic part is the most rated part of the work - instructions for writing bachelor thesis - they are unified for whole section of biology ( detailed instructions (in Czech) could be found at the web of biological section (biologická sekce). sekce 5.1. Bachelor thesis B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

- the responsibility is up to the student - the supervisor helps by useful advices and may help with some interpretations - it is a bibliographic search - this is the most evaluated part of the work, experimental results might be included, but they are not so important Basic conception and overall extent of the work: - the work should demonstrate the ability of student to compile relevant scientific literature - the most important is the complexity of the view, the ability of making conclusions, strong statements and generalizations Bachelor thesis - scientific style of writing - in Czech, Slovak and English. The best and very concise introduction to scientific writing is from William Strunk Jr. - The Elements of Style, it is freely available at Google books or here in pdf. Wikipedia also gives great introduction to the correct scientific writing at bookspdfhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_writing B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

Basic conception and overall extent of the work: 5.1. Bachelor thesis B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work - information from text books are not enough - secondary references should be minimized - there are even papers describing the potential risk of trusting secondary referencespotential risk - more focused topic is better than general - it gives student the chance to deeply understand certain topic and discuss it in detail

- Optimal length pages - should not be longer than 40 pages, spacing 1.5, page borders around 2.5 cm, 70 characters/line - abstract - both in Czech and English, maximum 2000 characters - it should unequivocally define the aim of this bibliographic search Structure of bachelor thesis: - key words words, they should be both in Czech and English, they should reflect the topic clearly - introduction - setting out the rationale for the thesis as a whole including short overview on the historical context of the research in the field of selected topic. It is worth to state why would one want to read it now, rather than at any other time. It should mention how individual topics are going to be organized into a clearly structured article. - main text - it could be divided with subheadings reflecting individual topics 5.1. Bachelor thesis B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

- results of experiments - they could be implemented, but only as the complement to the main bibliographic search. The best is to include the paragraph describing how the selected topic will be experimentally approached during diploma studies. - references - the style is not pre-defined. It could be selected form certain scientific journal, or as suggested by official standards (could be found in Czech at citace.com pages - reference manager software for collecting and organizing references is the best solution for formatting citations as well as bibliography - supplements, images - it is always better to include them into the text, only in case of larger amount of data they could be at the end Whole bachelor thesis is submitted both in printed (2 copies) and electronic pdf form Bachelor thesis Structure of bachelor thesis: B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

Review procedure: - reviews of opponent and supervisor - opponent is selected by respective department from experts in the field, PhD. students in the last year of their studies might be opponents as well. - instructions for writing opponent’s review - the aim is to prevent the heterogeneity in the evaluation of the work. - bachelor work as well as opponent’s and supervisors’s reviews are announced at the departmental web pages 2-3 days before defense procedure 5.1. Bachelor thesis B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

Defense procedure: - parts of the defense procedure - student’s presentation reading of opponent’s reviews by the opponents answers of opponent’s questions by student general discussion alltogether not more than 30 minutes 5.1. Bachelor thesis - decision - it is up to the committee that is composed from at least 3 members from 3 faculty departments B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.1. Bachelor thesis - not enough or too much of references used for assembling of the thesis Some common mistakes: - language mistakes - both in English and Czech, both in syntax and grammar - citation inaccuracy - both ignorance and misunderstanding of the cited paper might be a reason, the effort to understand the text is crucial here. -individual departments have some modifications of the instructions - they could be found at obhajobyhttp:// obhajoby - Bachelor thesis as a bibliographic search might be in optimal situation used for diploma thesis theoretical introduction. B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.2. Diploma thesis - to integrate experimental results with the actual knowledge in the field - diploma thesis is not only bibliographic search, correct discussion with student’s experimental results is crucial, not properly functioning experiments are not so big obstacle in case of their correct discussion i.e. why it does not work, etc. The main objective: - writing rules - similar for all departments of experimental biology, but there are not common obligatory rules (as it is for bachelor thesis) - instructions for the department of plant physiology are here, for department of microbiology and genetics here.here - the most important is to keep uniform style of writing and organization of the text, main text blocks are abstract, introduction, bibliographic search, material nad methods, results, discussion, summary and references B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.2. Diploma thesis - requirement for the successful termination of MSc. studies - „Mgr title“ Defense procedure: - parts of the defense - introduction of students by the guarantor of the discipline - student’s oral presentation, max. 20 min - reading of opponent’s reviews - opponent should be from other institution - answering the questions - general discussion – avoid unnecessary protests - committee decision - the most important is to introduce the main objectives of the work, why there was necessary to perform particular experiments. Select only the most important results for the presentation, optimal presentation should be in a form of exciting story with exciting conclusions - Always end with conclusions put into the context of general knowledge and acknowledge colleagues, publication strategy may be mentioned as well B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.3. Dissertation thesis -requirement for the successful termination of Ph.D. studies - title Ph.D. ( - „specialization council“ - guarantees the existence of certain specialization at the faculty, continuously evaluates the work of Ph.D. students including defense procedure - form - separate treatise or collection of published papers with the introduction - electronic theses - available at the web, here or here.here B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.4. Scientific contributions at the conferences and seminars - abstract - very condensed form of scientific paper - it contains the introduction, reasoning why there has been necessary to make experiment and what was the result 2-3 sentences of discussion together with the conclusion - alltogether not more than words - there are online resources for learning how to write the abstract effectively, for instance here. - the example of poster abstracthereposter abstract B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.4. Scientific contributions at the conferences and seminars - efficient way of making your results publicly known Poster: - it could have long-lasting validity - hanging at the corridor’s wall - there are no obligatory rules - you should attract attention - presentation at the conference - poster sessions, the author should be present at specified time, minipresentation“ could be organized - conclusions are the most important - in a form „take home message“ - printed miniature of the poster – very useful of the propagation - preparation using software - Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator or Power Point, make pdf or eps for printingsoftware pdf B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5. Presenting a scientific work

5.4. Scientific contributions at the conferences and seminars - purpose of the contribution - presenting author usually speaks also about the work of other colleagues from the team Oral contributions at the conference: - the main purpose is to convince others that presented results are important and that the group of authors is reliable - always include the reference to published papers - common mistakes - not balanced proportion of results and general introduction - exceeding time limit - monotonous presentation - low self-criticism or too high criticism to other results - problems in graphics (black on white is stil the best!) - example of the oral talk at the conferenceexample B130P16E: Practical basics of scientific work Department Experimental Plant Biology FSCU 5.
