Presenter:
Dr Patrick Brindle was, until recently, Publisher for Research Methods at SAGE Publications. He has over 15 years of experience managing research methods books, journals and online products, and has worked with a wide range of authors to fine tune their manuscripts. Patrick also managed the ‘development function’ at SAGE for many years, meaning that he had oversight over the editors that worked most closely with authors on improving the readability and flow of their mss. Patrick is now Director of Into Content, a training company specialising in supporting researchers in all aspects of writing and publishing. He is also Visiting Lecturer at City University, London, where he leads modules on Digital Publishing and Research Methods.

Description:
This course examines how you can write impactfully about your research.

The course covers:
- Writing tips to improve the impact of your research publications
- A guide to how research writing is discovered and read online
- Exercises and case studies to deploy/reflect on your own writing in the class
By the end of the course participants will:

- Have a wider repertoire of practical strategies to improve their own writing
- Better understand how to write about methodology as well as about research findings
- Be able to make strategic choices about how, where and when to publish their research
Participants should ideally bring their own laptops and a short example of their own research writing in Word.
