<p><strong>Are you planning to write a research paper or dissertation and are asking yourself how to best go about it? Or, have you started writing, but are unsure of how to most effectively bring across your ideas and findings? Or, have you finished a draft and are wondering how to best polish it for publication?</strong></p>
<p>If these or similar situations sound familiar to you, this online workshop is for you. You will learn how to best express yourself, what criteria a well-written academic paper in English needs to fulfill, and how you can manage the writing and publication process most productively.</p>
<p>The workshop consists of<strong> two parts</strong>; however, each part can be taken independently of the other as the two parts are designed to stand on their own. In this second part, we will focus on how to properly present an argument in a paragraph, how to formulate effective sentences, and how to revise a draft manuscript for publication. This second part also offers the possibility to discuss a small part of your text (which is entirely optional, though).</p>
