Trainer: Dr. Kerstin Minnich

When writing scientific texts, you have to face several challenges such as addressing the target readership, structuring the manuscript in a logical way and writing in a precise and concise style. Therefore the complexity of a scientific writing project can be overwhelming, leading to feelings of disorientation, lack of motivation and enhanced procrastination. To overcome these obstacles we will address efficient planning and writing strategies, techniques for adequate application of scientific style and structure conventions, and efficient revision and feedback strategies.
Besides theoretical input on writing topics, you will have plenty of opportunity to work with sample texts and to get feedback from coparticipants. In addition, we will develop individual strategies to avoid writer´s block and to optimize the writing process.
Content:
- Planning of scientific texts.
- Optimizing the writing process and overcoming writer`s block.
