Publications of research results are the currency of modern science. While scientific writing may not always be the most thrilling aspect of your work, it is undeniably essential for shaping your future research and career prospects. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. This workshop is about practical application. You will work with your own data throughout the seminar and apply the concepts to your manuscript.
Transforming data into text:
- Developing a clear main message
- Priority setting in the writing process
- Structure and logical flow of the text
- Create meaningful graphics
- Memorable introduction and abstract
- Do’s and Don’ts of AI Tools in writing
- How to develop a daily writing routine
- Efficient communication with co-authors
Working on your text:
Please note: Given that this is a hands-on workshop, you need some data to serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts written by you (e.g., Bachelor or Master thesis, as well as any published or upcoming papers) to the seminar.
Prerequisites:
Enough (analysed) data to write a (test) paper.
