Osaamistavoitteet
Proficiency level: C2
The aim of the course is to assist doctoral students and researchers with the writing and preparation of a paper for publication in a journal or at a conference. On successful completion of the course, students will have an improved understanding of the language of the genre of academic writing – structure, style, unity, cohesion etc.; the skills to approach the writing of academic articles effectively; and will have submitted and published a paper in a journal or at a conference.
Toteutustapa ja opetusmenetelmät
The course consists of the following elements:
• Seminar/class meetings at which various aspects of the publishing and writing process are discussed. (Approx. 1 meeting/week for one semester, i.e., 12–13 meetings.)
• Individual consultations during the writing process to deal with any problems that emerge (e.g., language issues, interpretation of reviewers' comments, and assistance with preparation of accompanying letters).
• Thorough language editing of the paper produced as part of the course. In addition to producing a paper ready for submission, the editing has a learning function, i.e., comments valuable for future article writing will also be given. (Please note that language editing of other papers is not included and should be done via the university's normal proofreading and editing services.)

The course is primarily addressed to doctoral students and researchers in the fields of technology and engineering.
