Writing for Publication in Academic Journals – workshop with Lynn P. Nygaard
On behalf of CENTREPEACE (Horizon Europe – Twinning), we are pleased to invite you to the two-day workshop Writing for Publication in Academic Journals, led by Lynn P. Nygaard, Special Advisor at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and author of Writing for Scholars.
The workshop will guide you through the main challenges of getting published in international peer-reviewed journals: formulating your core argument, writing for your audience, structuring the text, choosing a journal and handling reviewer feedback. A dedicated session on "doctorateness" looks at what evaluators expect from a PhD thesis and how your articles fit into it. The workshop is designed especially for PhD candidates and early-career researchers.
