How do I condense immense blocks of information into one short abstract?
What exactly makes a paper ‘effective’ and how do I know when I have achieved that?
What are narrative tools in scientific writing?

Writing a research paper is critical for any researcher’s success and our revamped, improved course “Writing a Research Paper: 2nd Edition” is a solid platform to gain the skills to navigate your scientific writing journey.

While we have made every effort to make your course as comprehensive as possible, scientific writing is nuanced and you may have more questions! Join us for a free webinar with Davide Esposito, Chief Editor of Nature Catalysis and Zoltan Fehervari, Senior Editor of Nature, for a stimulating Q&A session on the challenges you and your peers may face when drafting manuscripts. Whether you have a burning question about the complexities of titles and abstracts, or if you’re contemplating how best to communicate your crucial findings, we will help make your scientific writing process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Please note that any questions should be submitted during registration, in the registration link. While we will attempt to answer your questions as much as we can, we may only be able to cover questions of common interest or topics that are generally overlooked in scientific discussions. Even if you do not have any questions yourself, we still encourage you to join to benefit from the strategies discussed.

To maximise your learning experience with this webinar, we recommend you work through our “Writing a Research Paper: 2nd Edition” course either before or after you join.

“Global Asias: Latent Histories, Manifest Impacts”

Throughout history, Asia has been a global crossroads of civilizations, politics, trade, migration, religions, arts, and material cultures. In the modern era, especially since the last century, Asia’s role as a key player in the global flow of ideas, people, and materials has become even more pronounced, from the impact of the Japanese auto industry to the explosion of K-pop, the globalization of Bollywood films, the political influence of the Southeast Asian region, and China’s New Silk Road Initiative. Asian diasporas in the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and Europe are also important conduits of global finance, art, food, and education. Diasporas from other continents are also migrating to Asia, creating a new dynamism. In discussions of these phenomena, “Asia” is sometimes talked about as a homogeneous entity; however, it has always been highly diverse, complex and fluid. In the twenty-first century, we face numerous challenges, such as the crisis of democracy, the impact of the global order of neoliberalism, the affirmative and problematic advances in digital technology, including AI, and the escalating environmental crisis. This particular historical juncture calls for innovative approaches that shed new light on Asia as an idea, a method, and a framework.

The theme of the conference is “Global Asias” as a new historical, conceptual, and methodological lens for exploring the multiplicity, complexity, and dynamics of Asia in its manifest and hidden connections within the region and with the rest of the world from antiquity to the present. With the 2024 AAS-in-Asia being held in Indonesia, where pluralism lives in its history, constitution, culture, languages, religions, and physical geography, the city of Yogyakarta will be well suited for our intellectual and cultural exchange on Global Asias. We therefore welcome all disciplinary and thematic approaches to Global Asias: history, literature, religion, cinema, law, politics, labor, economics, gender, archaeology, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, media studies, social movements, public health (pandemic) and the environment.

Do you already use social media to share your latest findings, but struggle to make yourself visible to a wider audience and grow your network? Are you deeply passionate about your work, but still need strategies to communicate it in a creative, interesting, and accessible way? If these speak to you, please join us for this exciting webinar "Increasing your visibility as a researcher using social media" at the end of October.

In the one-hour webinar, we shall explore:
- The first steps to establishing visibility on social media & keeping an audience
- Creative approaches to sharing scientific findings on social media
- Networking on social media as a researcher and reaching people in your area of study
- Using social media to build a researcher profile to the best of your benefit

We warmly welcome you to join us for “increasing your visibility as a researcher using social media” on a day and time that is convenient for you. The learning content for both sessions will be the same.

“Preparing Your AAS-in-Asia Panel Proposal” will introduce the AAS-in-Asia Call for Proposals (CFP) and de-mystify this often intimidating process. AAS Director of Special Initiatives, Krisna Uk, will provide viewers with an overview of submission guidelines, discuss how the Program Committee carries out its work, and respond to audience questions. This Digital Dialogue is open to all (both AAS Members and non-members), and may be especially helpful for those who have not previously submitted a proposal to an AAS-in-Asia conference.
