| Abstract | Scientific Writing Seminar for PhD Students | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | This course helps young scientists become better writers. This course focuses on writing well-organized and clear journal articles that students may submit for publication afterwards in order to advance their careers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | In this course, students will learn how to write an effective journal article for their specific field. Students will learn more about writing all the sections of an IMRAD article (Introduction, Methods and materials, Results, and Discussion). Then students will closely study several key principles for writing clearly in English. Various aspects of the publication process will also be discussed. By the end, students will know what to do and how to do it when writing a clear and effective journal article. To start the first lesson, as a form of introduction students give a Three Minute Thesis (3MT) presentation to explain their PhD research project. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The course includes short lectures, open discussions, exercises with classmates, and peer review in small groups. The lecturer will give feedback on completed assignments. This is a friendly, hands-on course so students can really get the most out of it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | A script with reading material and exercises will be provided by the lecturer. For the lessons on style, students should have the following book: Writing Science in Plain English by Anne E. Greene ISBN: 9780226026374 Published May 2013 by the University of Chicago Press | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Students should be ready to write about their own research. This will require having some results to write about, even if they are preliminary. Students should also bring a laptop computer to each class for the various writing activities we do in class. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 851-0178-00L | Ethics and Scientific Integrity for Doctoral Students This course is interdisciplinary. If your department offers this course, please register there if possible. | W | 1 credit | 2U | E. Bobst, G. Achermann | ||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course sensitises doctoral students to ethical issues that may occur during their doctorate. After an introduction to ethics and good scientific practice, students are familiarised with resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. Students get the chance to apply and deepen their knowledge in an interactive face-to-face workshop. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Doctoral students learn how to identify, analyse and address ethical issues in their own scientific research. In addition, they will reflect on their professional role as scientific researchers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Content: Part I on Moodle The self-paced e-learning course on Moodle consists of 5 modules: Module 1: Ethics - Introduction to moral theory (with emphasis on practical guidance regarding decision making) Module 2: Ethics in scientific research - Introduction to ethical issues that occur within scientific research (i.e. regarding authorship, cooperation, data use and sharing, and other aspects that are subject to scientific integrity and good scientific practice). Module 3: Collecting resources - A variety of tools and resources that help identify ethical issues are presented and explained Module 4: Setting up a strategy - Example examination of a case regarding its ethical scope (students develop their own strategy to examine situations for their ethical implications). Module 5: Making desicions - Different ways of addressing ethical issues are presented and explained (i.e. how to make hard choices, or solve ethical dilemmas. But also where to seek advice if needed). Part II The second, face-to-face part (group sessions) of this course provides an interactive learning environment (workshop). Students get to apply their knowledge, and they are encouraged to reflect on ethical problems and to critically discuss them with fellow doctoral students. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | For doctoral students only. The first part on Moodle (part I) must be successfully completed before the face-to-face workshop (part II). Hence, when you choose a group make sure you have enough time to finish the first part on Moodle before the workshop starts (appr. 20 hours). | ||||||||||||||||||||
