Writing professional academic texts such as papers, dissertations, reports, proposals, etc. is vital for any researcher pursuing a Ph.D. or a scientific career. Yet, it is also a complex and often overwhelming task that requires a range of specific skills. The three writing modules deal with these skills from different perspectives and can be attended as a complete series, in any order, or independetly.

This first module focus on the successful development of a research paper (or report) for publication. We will, on the one hand, analyze samples of how the different parts of a good paper need to be written in order to meet the expectations of editors and reviewers and to have a strong impact on the academic community. On the other hand, we are going to discuss and practice how to best organize the process of writing - i.e., how to actually get started, how to efficiently plan the individual sections of a paper, and how to finally get your work published.

In particular, we will cover the following topics:
- starting the writing process and overcoming potential obstacles;
- defining the focus and objective of a research paper (or report);
- opening a paper and motivating your research convincingly;
- recognizing the overall storyline and conversations of a research paper;
- understanding the forms and functions of the different parts of a paper;
- developing professional outlines for Introductions;
- reviewing and referncing previous research adequately;
- providing useful explanations of the methods and results of your research;
- discussing your findings and concluding the research paper properly;
- writing powerful Abstracts and creating effective titles;
- managing the submission, review, and publication process.
