This project will assist our postgraduate research students to improve their academic writing and critical thinking and guide them in disseminating their research while working collaboratively with their peers and academic staff, with academic integrity underpinning their activities.

While our postgraduate students examine diverse topics, they all fall under the health and science umbrella where commonalities in research processes exist. Engagement with a journal club can promote and deepen the postgraduate students’ knowledge and critical thinking (Carragher and Brereton 2022).

The workshop strand proposes to support the postgraduate students’ academic writing skill and confidence, through exposure to academic writers and reviewers for journals and conferences.
