Beschreibung

This course brings together scientific writing, academic publishing, research in the sciences and artistic research, also in reference to interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. The focus is on "basics of scientific writing"  (writing and publishing in the sciences). Two types of writing are serving as "role models": the article in the peer-reviewed journal and the book (monograph and edited book). This will be related to: (1) the underlying epistemic understanding in the sciences (research question, hypothesis formulation, theory grounding, explorative and causality-oriented inquiries); (2) publishing strategies in the sciences (journal articles and/or books and book chapters). The disciplinary point of departure are to be the social sciences in the broadest sense, but with cross-references to other disciplines. As further focuses we will introduce: (1) interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, and (2) scientific research and artistic research.

Prüfungsmodalitäten

Writing in the sciences will be approached as a process. The final product will be a text or paper, with the following intermediary steps: (1) concept of the text or paper (2-3 pages); (2) short presentation (power point); (3) and final text or paper toward the end of the semester (around 10 12 pages). For the process of producing this text or paper, the crucial reference or exercise will be, to act “as if” this is a text or paper that is intended to be published in a (social) scientific format later. Participants (students) are free to elaborate further on this text or paper after completion of the lecture.
