This two-day on-site workshop takes place on Januar 13 & 14, 2025.

Content

Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favourite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission). Questions about other forms of text like conference papers can also be discussed.

A-Z of scientific writing

• 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
• How to develop a daily writing routine
• Efficient communication with co-authors
• Plus: Writing with AI tools

Please note: Given that this is a hands-on online-workshop, you need some (analysed) data that can 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 workshop.
