„Das muss ich jetzt bloß noch aufschreiben ...?“ – Den Übergang in die Schreibphase erfolgreich gestalten

Scientific writing in natural and life sciences

Language: GERMAN

Time:

22 & 23 June 2022, 9:00-15:30 each day (online).

(plus: one-hour individual online coaching by appointment on 24, 27 or 28 June 2022)

Target Audience:

Doctoral students who are

• are pursuing a doctorate in the natural and life sciences,
• are pursuing a doctoral degree with an empirical research project,
• are writing a monograph (not a cumulative dissertation) and
• are in the transition from the data collection to the writing phase.

Description and Contents:

In the working process of a monographic dissertation, the transition from lite-rature research and data collection to writing is often a particular challenge. This is because a monograph is usually a much more complex and extensive task than, for example, writing a 15-page technical article. It is usually necessary to process more material, to present theoretical and methodological principles in greater detail and, last but not least, to manage and sustain a longer working process.

The workshop contents at a glance:

• Challenges of scientific writing and typical stumbling blocks for junior researchers.
• (Re-)focusing: clarifying positions and messages of the scientific text proposal
• Conceptualizing the text with the help of a concept abstract; review and consolidation with peer feedback loop
• Techniques to start writing: low-threshold writing; creativity and con-trol: first draft and revision
• Which writing strategy suits me - promoting strengths, mitigating risks.
• On the relationship between scientificity, scientific language, and comprehensibility.
• The core elements of the monographic dissertation - function, content, structure
