How to Publish in A-Journals (every Summer Semester)

Publishing your research in so-called “A-journals” is tough. Designing and conducting an original study with a good idea is not enough, you also need to publish your findings to be successful as a researcher. The goal of this PhD Course is to develop your academic publishing skills and learn how to write good research articles such that they meet requirements of “A-journals” in terms of theoretical contributions, problematization, methodological rigor and interestingness. Your learning objective is to develop your skills in appreciating, critiquing, and composing research articles in business and management disciplines. The course will allow you to develop and improve your skills in publishing your current and future research findings in targeted at top-level scientific journals.

The PhD Course is taught in a seminar style where we present, discuss, and critique seminal guidelines, apply what we have learned to improve and extend our own publishing skills, and work together to reach a deeper understanding of academic publishing practice.
