Course detail

PhD Lab 1 (Writing & Publishing)

FaVU-3LAB1Acad. year: 2024/2025

The course provides students with support in writing and publishing the textual outputs of their research, such as articles for academic journals, conference papers, or book chapters. The specific content of the course is shaped by the real challenges that students may encounter at various stages of the process—from the initial concept and outline through the development of the text to its final revisions before submission for peer review, and final editing in response to reviewers’ comments or editorial requirements. Instructors’ feedback and moderated discussions focus on various aspects of the academic writing process according to the current needs of the students: defining the topic, selecting methodology, clarifying concepts, building an argument, structuring the text, style, working with sources and citations, communicating with editors, and more. The course is conducted through both group and individual consultations.
