Mål
To improve the theoretical knowledge and practical skills associated with writing manuscripts for scientific peer review in international journals.
Innehåll
Major focus will be placed on basic writing skills, particularly on how to write clear and concise sentences, paragraphs and sections. The course will provide the students with a set of tools for the essential text analysis and editing needed to produce a submission ready manuscript. Lectures will also provide detailed instructions on how to structure and format each section of a scientific manuscript (justifying the IMRAD format). The class will integrate theory and practice. Directly after each theory session, students will work on the associated manuscript section via a teaching platform. Weekly assignments will be required in two primary areas: short writings specific to the studied section and analysis of model sentences and paragraphs. Weekly feedback will be provided on the short writings. By the end of the course, students will have individualized editing sheets of their most common problems and a course-created dictionary specific to their fields.
Examinationsformer
Only pass or fail will be given. A pass will require attendance and the completion of course tasks.
