Target Audience: PGRs
Participants will have a chance to explore how they identify an appropriate journal, understand its audience and requirements, and shape a paper around a clear purpose and contribution.We will cover common elements of journal articles while recognising that structures, conventions and writing styles vary between disciplines and types of publication.
The session introduces practical techniques for developing a coherent argument, organising evidence, writing effective abstracts and titles, and communicating the significance and originality of the research. Participants will also consider the submission and peer-review process, including how to interpret reviewer feedback and prepare a constructive response.
by the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify a suitable journal and scope its requirements.
- Structure an article around a clear purpose and contribution.
- Apply academic writing conventions while recognising disciplinary differences.
- Understand how to prepare a draft for submission and peer review.
