How to write an academic paper

Jonge vrouw typt achter laptop

You are asked to write a paper, but where do you start? Is your style ‘academic’ enough? How do you make sure your line of reasoning is accurate and relevant? And how do you structure content?

In this workshop, you will learn what a paper is and what skills you need to write a clear, consistent research paper. During this workshop, you will work on your own assignment. Therefore, we recommend to only register for this workshop when you are currently working on a (research) paper. At the end of the workshop, you may submit part of your writing product once for feedback from the trainer.
