[Online] PCMO@GGS-Workshop: Writing an Academic Journal Article

The workshop focuses on developing the skills necessary to prepare an article for an international, peer- reviewed journal. We will explore the common features of academic writing across disciplines as well as the shared expectations for communicating empirical research findings, with a specific focus on the commonalities across social science disciplines and academic languages. The seminar will use a range of interactive exercises to expand on competences in structuring an academic article, applying a reader-orientation in writing. In fulfillment of the course requirements, participants will be expected to compose the foundation of an academic article. We will also discuss strategies for participating in academic peer-review cultures and on revising and restructuring in the post-writing phase.

While the course language is English, the course will apply a writing-across-languages approach, with a particular focus on how the strategies discussed in class can be applied to other languages and genres.

This course is an optional part of the "Strategisch erfolgreich publizieren" programme. A portion of the available participation slots is reserved for participants of that programme.
