ONLINE & PARTICIPATIVE: Jumpstart converting your thesis into a journal article (Natural and Physical Sciences, incl. Health and Eng) Part One
About this workshop
Sometime in our academic journey, all of us are faced with the task of preparing, conceptualizing and writing an academic paper. This is no small feat and often leads to untold anxiety. It involves planning, reflecting and a slightly “different” style of writing to that of a dissertation/thesis or proposal.
In these 2-part interactive workshops, we will journey together through the maze of choosing a journal, deciphering Instructions for Authors, and collating and preparing a journal article. We will spend time on the basic writing structure as well as the required referencing and journal formats. We will discuss what “peer reviews”, “impact factors” and “grey journals” mean.
What previous attendees have said about this workshop:
- Through the session I have been made aware of subtle aspects that I must be aware of during my writing.”
- “I learned a lot about how to start and where to start writing for publication.”
- “I learnt how to order my publication and write my methods.”
