[AISWorld] Invitation to Paper Writing Workshop with Michael Myers 16-17 Oct 2017

[Crispin Coombs]

Dear all

I am delighted to be able to offer a 2-day paper writing workshop designed and facilitated by Michael Myers, Professor of Information Systems, University of Auckland.

The workshop is  scheduled for 16-17 October 2017 at Loughborough University UK.

There is a strict limit on numbers for the workshop with a maximum of 20 places. This workshop is open to faculty and PhD students.

This paper development workshop is an opportunity for you to complete the writing of one major piece of work (e.g. a conference or journal paper) to at least good first draft stage. The overall objective is for you to publish this work in the highest-ranking outlet possible (at a later date). As well as attending plenary sessions on writing and publishing, this workshop will enable you to

-       improve your writing practice and style

-       share your work with others and receive their feedback

-       receive expert personal feedback and guidance on your writing

-       develop a positive group-based attitude to writing

The workshop will have a few plenary sessions on writing and publishing along with some question-and-answer sessions. There will also be a few sessions where reviewers will discuss their reviews with the author(s), chaired by an experienced author/editor. Each small group session will focus exclusively on development of one paper. These sessions will enable you to receive feedback on your work. Michael will be available during the workshop to give confidential one-to-one feedback and guidance to you if you wish.
