Writing for Publication Programme – Graduate School of Social Sciences (G3S) – Writers

The writing for publication programme is offered in collaboration with the Graduate School of Social Sciences (G3S). It consists of three modules that build on each other:

  1. Starters prepares participants to commence writing an article
  2. Writers guides and support them in the writing process
  3. Submitters assists them in polishing a manuscript for admission.

It is possible to register for one or more modules at a time. However, it is only possible to actually participate in the Writers or Submitters modules after you have first completed the preceding module(s).


WRITERS

In this second module, participants put the knowledge from the Starters module into practice in class. This module provides a structured process within which participants actually write and thereby develop their writing competence. Ideally, participants work on an existing draft to turn it into a submittable manuscript; alternatively they can turn a concept and/or data into a first draft.

Writing in this hands-on module takes place in two two-day sessions. Participants are introduced to various strategies that support the writing process. In addition, they receive feedback from peers and detailed individual oral and written comments from the lecturer.


Target Group:
G3S doctoral candidates & postdocs

Other doctoral candidates & postdocs in Social Sciences and Humanities – on request.
