Finding Your ‘Academic Voice’: Writing for Research Journals

Are you doing, or planning, a research project and want to know how to write about it for an academic journal? Is it the first time you’ve written a research article? Or a while since you last did any academic writing? This 90-minute session is designed to give you more confidence and help you to find your ‘academic voice’. We’ll look at what ‘academic writing’ means and provide practical guidance on ways to structure an article. There will also be an opportunity to practice developing an outline for an article.

These sessions are sponsored by the Journal of Information Literacy, which is an open-access journal that publishes innovative and challenging research articles and project reports that push the boundaries of information literacy thinking in theory, practice and method. We welcome submissions from librarians, scholars and practitioners alike!
