DSHS Seminar “Academic Writing and Publishing”

The seminar focuses on the process of creating a scientific publication. The main focus is on the planning of an article, writing, the submission process to a selected journal and dealing with the criticism of reviewers. The doctoral students should benefit from opportunities to discuss their own work and intended publications, but also from the implementation, such as in the form of joint writing attempts and review processes. The aim is also to learn how to organise one's own writing process more efficiently. By teaching principles of structure, rules of argumentation and choice of words, competences are to be created to make one's own texts clearer and more comprehensible and to design them accordingly for a successful peer review process.
