Description
Scientific information: The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the search for and management of scientific information. Recent bibliographic research tools will be explained and used in lectures and practical work (electronic documentation: Scifinder / Isis / Belstein). Training in the functionalities of the Zotero tool and in the use of the electronic laboratory notebook will also be provided. The writing and use of scientific publications will also be covered.
Bibliographic project: Scientific information research tools will be applied to a concrete case. The pedagogical team will propose a bibliographical subject related to the student's chosen field of study. This bibliographical subject may, where appropriate, be defined in agreement with the host organization where the internship is to be carried out.
For this personal project, students will have access to all the bibliographic sources of the university or company hosting them. Bibliographic work may be combined with the English teaching unit to prepare an oral presentation at an international conference.
