Paper & Presentation
\nFor part of your grade, you are required to write a paper and participate in a \u201cdata slam\u201d
\npresentation format during class time. Students must be present or excused for all Data Slam
\npresentations to receive full credit for their own
\npresentation. The paper will be similar to the
\nmini-reviews that you see in the journal Endocrinology or in Journal of Endocrinology, but with
\nfewer sources and lower expectations of expertise in the field. The Data Slam presentation will be
\na presentation of a single data slide from one of the primary research papers you read as a
\nsource for the paper you wrote. You should choose a figure or graph that illustrates an important
\nfinding on your topic. You will have 2 minutes to give your presentation in class. More information
\nwill be provided below and in class. I require that you provide titles to at least 2 primary research articles on your topic
\nin your initial email or visit. That helps me see your direction and see that you will be able to
\nmeet reference requirements for the paper. Topics are open to some degree, but I do require
\nthat you use recent (last 5 years), primary research articles in basic or translational
\nendocrinology research. Be sure to cover all sides of controversial issues, particularly where
\nthere are competing research groups involved. It is not acceptable to simply review an
\nendocrine disease, hormone or system that is well known or covered in class. Learn new stuff
\nand get excited!
\n2. Length Requirements: Papers should be 3-5 pages of double-spaced text, 1 inch margins on
\nall sides and a 12 point font. Page count excludes figures, titles, title page, outline, reference
\nlist, abstract, headings, etc. The page count covers the actual text only, so go over the
\nminimum to avoid problems.
\n3. Originality Requirements: All papers will be checked with the plagiarism software. Be careful
\nnot to \u201ccut\/paste\u201d or \u201cborrow\u201d too many phrases. Borrowing phrases or clauses (half of a
\nsentence) will be noticeable with the software. Writing from an outline, synthesizing
\ninformation from multiple sources, and using quotes when appropriate should take care of
\nplagiarism issues and improve your grade. Also do not quote much; that is not common in
\nscientific writing even though it is common in many other types of writing. I reserve the right
\nto additionally utilize software to detect AI generated papers if allowed. I doubt that
\nwill be a problem with the requirements of negotiation, reference approval, rough drafts and
\nUC Writing Center visit, but I am preparing for the possibility.Reference Requirements: Papers must be based on a minimum of 4 scientific references
\nincluding at least 2 recent, primary references. Primary references are first-hand accounts of
\nexperimental work from peer-reviewed, professional science journals. You may have
\nreferences from nonscientific reviews, journals, books or the internet if you wish, but these
\nwill not count toward the required 4. I expect A papers to exceed these minimums <\/p>\n
