Writing for Publication: Interactive and Self-Paced Training
by Weiling Coaching and Consulting
This new eight-week course offers a flexible mix of weekly Zoom sessions, short video
lessons, and practical writing tasks to help you make real progress on your journal
article. Each week, we’ll focus on a different part of the writing process—from shaping
your story to refining your language and building strong, readable sections.
You’ll also have the option to get written feedback from the trainer on a section of your
draft—whether that’s an abstract, an introduction, or something else you’re working on.
If you’re looking for structured support, clear guidance, and a weekly rhythm to keep you
moving forward, then this course is for you.

Target Audience
PhD students who are planning to write or are currently working on a
research article for publication in English.

Objectives
By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the key
elements of academic writing and will develop a structured approach to drafting,
refining, and preparing your research article for submission. If you're in the early stages
of writing, this course will provide motivation, structure, and support to help you get
started—you may even finish with a first draft of your key sections.

Course Format
