In the first stages of their career, many researchers experience writing academic papers a challenging task. Writing a research paper is a specific professional skill, but oftentimes researchers are not prepared and mentored enough to fulfil expectations. In addition, scholars today face with constant pressure to publish at a very fast pace, which makes it writing papers a highly competitive and stressful activity.

To support researchers in overcoming this challenge, EERA Network 04, in cooperation with the European Journal of Inclusive Education, invites you to participate in a three-hours workshop on the fundamentals of writing scientific papers for journals in the field of education.

The workshop, especially addressed to junior researchers, aims to present and discuss the essential elements of academic writing. During the workshop, we will review the streamlining processes, writing strategies and editing techniques that help you conceive, draft and complete your paper in a consistent and productive way.

In the first part of the workshop, a panel of four expert researchers will introduce the methods and approaches they usually adopt in developing scientific papers. In the second part, questions and answers from participants will be facilitated through discussion in small groups. The workshop will conclude with a summary of the main suggestions and reflections emerging from the groups.
