The outcomes:
The concept:The Joint Writing Seminar (JWS) is a seminar at the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (ICSJ), Charles University (Prague), coordinated by Nico Carpentier, for selected ICSJ PhD students. Each participant of the JWS collaborates with one senior ICSJ staff member, to write and publish an academic article, on a topic that is aligned with the fields of interest and expertise of both authors. The PhD researcher becomes first author of the article.The seminar follows a two stage-writing process, where in the first stage, the PhD researcher produces the draft-article, under the guidance of the senior staff member. In the second stage, the senior staff member actively collaborates with the PhD researcher in re-writing the draft-article. After the writing process, the senior staff member guides the PhD researcher through the journal-selection stage, the submission stage, and the review and resubmission stage(s), until the process is completed. PhD researchers who are selected for the JWS will have a parttime position at the Center for Doctoral Studies of the ICSJ, for one year. |
