Academic Writing - a hands-on course on reporting scientific results in peer-reviewed journals
Aarhus BSS Graduate School at Aarhus University
The course will support PhD students in producing, revising and submitting publishable manuscripts. This involves articulating scientific arguments and research questions, defining aims, and contextualising contributions in relation to existing literature. Students will also learn how to write a coherent introduction that describes what is known, the knowledge gap, and the study aims, as well as how to present methods in a transparent and reproducible form, present results, and write discussion sections on interpretation, limitations, implications, and perspectives. Participants will also learn how to respond to peer review, writing professional and persuasive response letters, and knowing when and how to accept, reframe and rebut critiques. They will develop their scientific peer-reviewing skills by reviewing and providing feedback on each other’s manuscripts. Finally, participants will learn how to recognise and overcome personal challenges in the writing process, such as writer's block and procrastination.
