Course

The politics and practicalities of publishing in Organization and Management Studies (Publishing in Academic Journals Part 2)

Faculty

Joana Geraldi and Christian De Cock, Department of Organization, CBS

Course Coordinator

Joana Geraldi and Christian De Cock

Prerequisites

Priority is given to PhD students in the field of Organization Studies. The course will be open to external students, but students from the Department of Organization (IOA) at CBS and OMS CBS students will have priority. Due to the history of the course emerging at DTU, DTU Management Engineering students will also be prioritized.

The course participants will be assessed based on their class participation and final deliverable (i.e. paper draft). The submission will be evaluated as pass/no pass, and only through internal examin-er(s).

Aim

Writing and publishing is integral to academic life. This course introduces the PhD students to the process of writing an academic article, by supporting their own writing. The overall objective of the course is to develop a submission-ready paper draft with PhD students. As sub-objectives, students will articulate their research objectives, identify literature gaps, and learn to constructively respond to reviewer feedback.

To that end, students will be exposed to the overall writing process, coached through the process by the course responsible and in peer groups, and deliver incremental improvements of their paper. The course creates a supporting environment to focus PhD students on the writing task. It will expose the participants to certain tools and methods, and exchange and discuss alternative writing practices.

Course content

The course will be based on 3, 1-day modules. Each day consists of three elements:

• Individual assignments as preparation (defined in the course schedule and discussed ahead of time)

• Introductory lectures

• Participation in group discussions

Please refer to the course schedule for additional details.

Teaching style

Lectures, group work, individual work, presentations by course participants, final report (paper draft).
