Abstract

Академическое письмо - это важная составляющая работы аспиранта. Умение представить результаты собственной исследовательской работы в виде манускрипта и довести его до публикации в журнале - это залог успешности обучения в аспирантуре. Курс "Академическое письмо" направлен на отработку навыков, необходимых на каждом этапе написания статей: от постановки цели и уточнения проблемы до финального драфта статьи. В рамках курса аспиранты максимально погрузятся в практику подготовки публикаций, получая на лекционных занятий необходимую информацию, а в ходе совместной работы с преподавателями кура - перерабатывая отдельные части своего текста. В результате курса каждый аспирант пройдет путь от чернового варианта своей статьи до текста, подготовленного к подаче в целевой журнал.
