Workshops and Training for Researchers
For more than a decade Brieflands ran training for the researchers, reviewers and journal editors it worked with — statistics and meta-analysis, scientific writing, peer review, publication ethics, and the practical business of running a journal. Sessions were held in Tehran, Mashhad, Ahvaz, Shiraz, Hamedan, Sari and Mazandaran, and with national scientific societies. This is the archive, grouped by subject.
