This PhD course focusses on enhancing the students’ skills in academic publishing, through the organisation of a series of workshops. Academic conference papers, articles and book chapters are considered key formats in academic communication and also formative for learning how to write longer texts, such as a PhD thesis. As a course, there is a strong focus on learning by doing, at the level of writing and evaluating academic texts, also providing insights into the context of presenting at conferences, publishing articles & book chapters and science communication. |

The evaluation consists out of four components: 1.Attendancein minimally two thirds of the workshops. Absences for medical reasons, or because of bereavement will be accepted, but evidence needs to be provided. 2.Assignment 1: Students will write and submit a 500-word abstract for an international conference. In addition, they will submit a 1000-word report which 1/motivates the content of the abstract/paper, and 2/motivates the selection for that particular conference, through a thorough analysis of the relevant conference landscape and the conference’s place in that landscape. (In exceptional cases, upon agreement of the teacher, the assignment can be altered into a non-submitted abstract to a real academic journal, with a paper that 1/motivates the content of the abstract/future article, and 2/motivates the selection for that particular journal, through an in-depth analysis of the relevant journal landscape and the journal’s place in that landscape.) 3.Assignment 2: In this individual paper, students will analyse the structure of an existing article, authored by the teacher (from http://nicocarpentier.net/ar_pub_chapart.html). The paper will combine a visual representation of the article’s structure (using the flow-chart model, with (normally) one box per paragraph) with a textual description and critical evaluation of the structure of the article. The textual part of the paper will be 1500 words. If other students take the same article, the paper should be structurally different. Group work is not allowed for assignment 2. 4.Assignment 2b: The presentation of assignment 2 in the last workshop. This can be an individual presentation, but here, also group presentations are allowed, in case more than one student has selected the same paper. Each presentation focusses on one article. 5.Assignment 3: The production of one popularizing article for the European Journalism Observatory (EJO), related to the students’ PhD theme (and the EJO remit) |
