After all your research work spanning months and years, you have finally put down your invaluable results in a paper for peer review and publication. Transition from a hard-working data-gather to a skilled academic writer is by no means smooth! How can you place your results within the broad context of your research area so that your peers will appreciate the merits of your work? How can you draft an effective abstract and an eye-catching title to make your paper stand out among others? How can you present sound logical arguments in the discussion and tie them up with the introduction? And most importantly, how can you write for readers instead of for yourself/your mentor? This webinar provides a practical guide on effective academic writing from the perspective an experienced scholar and journal editor.
