The University of Education, Winneba (UEW), has been awarded a grant of €18,000.00 by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) for a research project. A team of five researchers from UEW will utilize the grant to conduct a course titled “The State-of-the-Art in Scientific Writing and Publication” for the second time at the university.
The training program is scheduled to take place from Tuesday, July 25th to Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, and will primarily target emerging scholars from across the African continent. The course, consisting of eight modules, will cover various aspects of scientific writing and publication. It will delve into topics such as selecting a research subject, identifying research gaps, manuscript structure and content, scientific writing techniques, abstract composition, reference management, citation practices, and criteria for choosing reputable journals.
