Overview

Dr. Andreas Meiszner will welcome Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Lozano, a practitioner with an extensive publishing record and experienced mentor when it comes to supporting doctoral students and post-grads during their publishing efforts, and Ms. Jacqueline Hiddlestone, a doctoral candidate with a passion for supporting other doctoral students, to discuss academic writing best practises and standards that can help you get your message out.

Academic writing is a distinct style with distinct standards and protocols used by researchers to define the intellectual boundaries of their disciplines and areas of expertise. Doctoral students begin practising academic writing style while writing their thesis and continue when writing articles for publication. A formal tone, the use of the third-person rather than first-person perspective(usually), a clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and precise word choice are all characteristics of academic writing.

Join this webinar at 1.00pm UK time to learn more about the topic and participate in a lively discussion.

To maximise participant learning, questions may be posted to the webinar discussion board after registration. These will be covered in the webinar.

Following the webinar presentation, the panellists will be available to answer any research-related questions you may have in an open door session with no agenda other than your own.

Co-hosts
Dr. Andreas Meiszner

Since 2012, I have tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid to seniors, aged 35 to 70) both with the University of Liverpool Management School’s Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program (UK), and since 2016 also with DoctorateHub. This allowed me to understand how to tackle problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked.

500+ students also implies 500+ workplace-based problems which I had the chance to look at. And while working with such an array of problems allows for quite some learningit also has shown to me that very often it is quite exhaustive for such grown up and seasoned research novices. In response to this, we thus decided to set up the DoctorateHub, so to provide training, mentoring, and coaching services to all those that struggle to get their workplace-based issues identified, analysed, understood, written up in a thesis, and ultimately resolved. 

I am also one of the DoctorateHub’s Co-founders with a particular focus on strategic development and building up of the various DoctorateHub support services that we provide. 

With this I am looking forward to work with you, wherever you are in your doctoral research journey.

Thesis stage: Research planning: Getting ready for data collection

I have just signed up to this hub and it has been insightful. It was quite daunting at first and I’m thinking if do-able. But with me in this platform I can foresee a clearer future. Thanks to the organisers.

Thesis stage: Post Doctoral & Publishing

As a postgraduate supervisor, who is already a Ph.D. holder, I was delighted to find a resource that I can continue to develop from. I will continue to share information about DoctorateHub with my students and peers. Thank you.

Thesis stage: Thesis research proposal development

I felt way better after the session especially that I got to talk to other PhD candidates that are struggling like me. I felt hope because my advisor never answers so I felt like I could have some guidance here.
