Cíle předmětu
This course aims to teach the fundamentals of scientific writing. Instruction will focus primarily on the process of writing and publishing scientific manuscripts.
The course will be presented in two segments:
Part (1) teaches students how to write effectively, concisely, and clearly.
Part (2) will take them through the preparation of an actual scientific manuscript. The focus will be on how to write and increase the chance of publishing the scientific text. There is an increasing need among doctoral candidates to publish their work in various types of academic publications and engage with a wider range of academic, professional and public audiences. The goal of this course is to familiarize doctoral candidates with different approaches to scientific writing, take their academic writing skills in English to a higher level and offer them a range of tools to adapt their focus of language to address their target readers at specific, multi-disciplinary and general levels. The course addresses firstly the context of scientific writing to situate the styles of writing that doctoral candidates are working with. It will discuss aspects of clear and concise writing style, and lexical and discourse relationship patterns in academic text, along with functional perspectives for positioning and structuring information and argument in the wider scope of thesis and journal article writing.
