Education description

Interested in taking the challenge of publishing in peer-reviewed academic journals? This workshop offers the hands-on tools to improve both your papers and your writing process. Most researchers learn academic writing by trial and error, dedicated training speeds up the learning process. This two-day workshop aims at acquiring the skills to design successful academic papers.
For the exercises, your own paper is used. This brings the extra benefit of getting many ideas to further improve your article.

Workshop contents
Participants assess and improve their writing skills by analyzing their own paper in terms of focus of the article, connection with the literature, and structure. We discuss and provide training in identifying publishable parts of research projects, positioning the article, and developing an effective paper structure. Other topics include designing a compelling introduction, preparing the literature review, using AI and writing the main sections (e.g., literature review, research design, data collection, data analysis, discussion and conclusion).

Case material: your own paper.
