We invite academics to take part in an online series of workshops The essentials of writing for publication in scientific journals.

 

The objective of the series is to introduce academics to the basic concepts of publishing and communicating academic research, and help them to understand what is expected of them with regard to paper content. The language of instruction is Russian.

 

The participants can come from any background regardless of their research area and publication experience. The key requirement that they are to satisfy is to hold B1 level of English proficiency at the minimum. Such requirement is set because, though Russian is the key language of instruction, the participants are provided with a range of authentic English-medium resources to explore on their own as a part of their participation.
