Title Writing a Journal Article… and Getting it Published
Description 22.06.- 24.06.2026

This course is about the processes of writing and getting published. Students will bring an article that they are actually working on for a truly hands-on experience.
The goal of this course is to enable PhD students to get their articles written and sent off to a journal. By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the publication game, the key players and the scientific journals. They will be able to organize, plan and write the article. Furthermore, they will be able to deal with reviewers and editors.
