Description and Table of Contents
Description
- This book provides doctoral and early career researchers with the detail needed to understand the importance of refining text, provides them with a language to take charge of refining practices, and a bank of strategies that can be adapted and built on.
- Refining text is something that all doctoral and early career researchers need to learn and practice from the very beginning of the doctorate, not something to be done as the end of the last stage of 'writing up'. This is a message rarely given in academic writing books and advice materials.
- The book offers an innovative framework covering foundation, generation and response. It covers these three stages as they relate to all academic writing at doctoral and early career researcher level.
