Bibliographic project/Scientific information

Scientific information: This course aims to familiarize students with scientific information research and management. In this context, the latest bibliographic research tools will be explained and used during lectures/tutorials (Electronic documentation: Scifinder/Isis/Belstein). Training in the features of the Zotero tool and the use of the electronic laboratory notebook will also be provided. The writing and use of scientific publications will be discussed.

Bibliographic project: Scientific information research tools will be applied to a specific case. The teaching team will propose a bibliographic topic to the student related to their chosen field of study. Where appropriate, this bibliographic topic may be defined in agreement with the host organization where the internship will take place.

For this personal project, students will have access to all bibliographic sources at the university or company hosting them. The bibliographic work may be combined with the English teaching unit in order to prepare for an oral defense similar to an oral presentation at an international conference.
