The first training workshop for writing academic papers was conducted by the technical journal Protein & Cell, at the Biophysical Society of China on July 30. 

Protein & Cell is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries concerning latest development in areas of biology and biomedicine.

It is jointly managed by the China Higher Education Press, Beijing Institutes of Life Science, the Chinese Academy of Science and the Biophysical Society of China. 

Over 70 researchers participated in the three-hour training session to learn about how to present illustrations in papers published on the Scientific Citation Index, or SCI. 

Bei Yuanyuan, main speaker of the session, is the founder of PaperArtist and has rich experience in applying various software tools such as Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Cinema4d, Origin, Prism and SigmaPlot in papers. 

Organizers said researchers and academics are welcomed to the next training session, which will be scheduled for later this year.
