Scientific Writing: Turning the Blank Page Into a Manuscript

Workshop/Training | Dr. Carsten Rohr | 2 + 3 December 2025, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. | TBA | Communicating science / Doctoral Researcher / Education / PEP / PHGS

Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favorite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities.

In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper.

In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission).

The A-Z of scientific writing:

- Developing a clear main message
- Priority setting in the writing process
- Structure and logical flow of the text
- Create meaningful graphics
- Memorable introduction and abstract
- Do's and Don'ts of AI Tools in writing
- How to develop a daily writing routine
- Efficient communication with co-authors

PLEASE NOTE: Given that this is a hands-on seminar, you need some (analyzed) data that can serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts written by you (e.g. Bachelor or Master thesis, as well as any published or upcoming papers) to the seminar.
