Title Writing a Journal Article… and Getting it Published
Description 30.11.- 02.12.2026

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.
Please note:
-There are only 12 places available
-It is essential that participants are actively writing or are ready to write their article before the course starts
(this is why registration opens a month before the course)
-The course is not suitable for those who are still planning their study, collecting the data, or doing the analysis
