Writing & Publishing
Writing and publishing are essential academic techniques and have a strong influence on researchers' careers. The writing and publishing process is subject to challenges and crises that occur throughout the doctoral phase, as well as procrastination and academic misconduct. The main objectives are to facilitate the writing process, to increase the quality of scientific texts and to establish peer writing groups in order to lay the foundation for joint research projects. The overall aim is to increase the quality of research in the Berlin research area.
