Course Scientific Information Retrieval & Management in Life Sciences and Chemistry

Become information savvy by taking the course with the longest name. A short introductory video can be found here.

In the course you will learn how to effectively retrieve, critically judge, analyze, and manage published scientific information. These are important skill sets in chemistry and life sciences where scientists need to deal with vast amounts of information. The course – with practical examples – maps the cycle of the scientific research processes to the corresponding processes of information and knowledge management.

The course also covers scientific writing & communication and state-of-the-art technologies for analysis such as text mining, as well as rendering of molecules.

More information about the course (taught in English), which has been explicitly developed for students of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School, can be found in the course catalogue of the ETH Zurich (Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Courses of the D-CHAB, 529-0195-00L).
