In this episode, “Developing an Experiment,” meet two authors — a PI and a graduate student — who candidly detail the excitement and challenges they faced as they developed their study on anxiety. Cell and Neuron editors then offer additional insights and advice about successful authorship.

Episode 1: Developing an Experiment

The Society for Neuroscience introduces its inaugural podcast, The Perils of Publishing. This series is a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to publish a scientific study. Follow two authors’ experiences in developing a study idea, conducting the experiment, organizing the data, writing the manuscript, selecting a journal, receiving reviews, and handling media attention post-publishing.

Along the way, you’ll hear about the publication process from editors at Cell Press, Neuron, and JNeurosci. They talk about what they look for when evaluating studies, what happens when reviewers don’t agree, and how to deal with negative reviews, and other useful advice.
