Pu­bli­shing stra­te­gies: Wri­ting bet­ter abs­tracts fas­ter

Dr. Vera Le­be­recht | April 15th 2025 | 10:00 a.m. (s.t.) - 04:30 p.m. | Zoom-​Link: t.b.a.

In the aca­de­mic world, well-​written abs­tracts play an im­portant role in con­vin­cing jour­nal edi­tors and con­fe­rence or­ga­nisers to ac­cept a paper for re­view, or to in­vi­te a re­se­ar­cher to pre­sent at a con­fe­rence. This work­shop is ge­a­red at young re­se­ar­chers who want/need to pu­blish in English-​medium jour­nals and to pre­sent at in­ter­na­tio­nal con­fe­ren­ces. It helps you to bet­ter un­der­stand how peer re­view pro­ces­ses work and what re­view­ers mean with their com­ments. In ad­di­ti­on, by ana­ly­sing abs­tracts from your own field of re­se­arch and by prac­ti­cing abs­tract wri­ting, you take the next steps on your way of be­co­ming a more com­pe­tent and suc­cess­ful wri­ter in your disci­pli­ne.

At the end of the day, you have:

• dis­cus­sed types and func­tions of abs­tracts;
• ana­ly­sed the lan­guage and style in abs­tracts from your own field of re­se­arch;
• de­fi­ned cha­rac­te­ris­tics of ef­fec­ti­ve abs­tracts;
• got to know stra­te­gies for wri­ting short texts fas­ter;
• pro­du­ced a draft ver­si­on of an abs­tract or si­mi­lar short text
