Hence, students bring in their preliminary studies that will be crafted within the framework of this course. The course covers the most important aspects of writing a cutting-edge publication and getting published, including the configuration of an academic paper, methods of literature review to help doctoral candidates strengthening the theoretical embeddedness of their work and managing the review process.
