■ 第12回ライティングセンターセミナー 『明解で説得力のある研究論文を書くワークショップ』The 12th Writing Center Seminar 2015 "How to Write a Clear and Convincing Research Paper for Publication"

【ワークショップ概要　Outline of the workshop】

This is a special two-day workshop primarily designed for junior researchers, which cover master and doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, assistant professors, and even associate professors. The content of the workshop is extracted from a highly popular graduate course at Nagoya University, "Logical Thinking Skills in Research Writing", which aims to help junior researchers publish their research by developing necessary logical thinking skills for writing clearly and convincingly.
If you have difficulty knowing how to present your research ideas clearly, or if you have difficulty convincing others about the significance of your research, or if you simply have no idea how to start writing a research paper, then this is the workshop for you!!
The workshop will be conducted in English, although participants can also ask questions in Japanese. There will be plenty of group discussions and exercises to facilitate an active learning process. And for this reason, participants are strongly encouraged to interact with the instructor throughout the workshop.
