These two objectives are covered by two activities: Revision Chains and Writing Bootcamps.
The Revision Chains consist of a review conducted by chain mail. The current of a student is sent to 3-5 students (in a string) and then returned to the author commented. The Revision Chains are held as required.
Writing Bootcamps last 1/2 to 1 day. This activity takes place once every six months in the ideation room of the INGO. It takes the form of thematic seminars organized by the students and teachers of the LiNCS and LIVE. The seminars cover:
- The content of the usual sections of a scientific article;
- The writing style and grammar stuff.
