A design-based online training to boost doctoral students’ writing for publication skills

A research study developed an online Writing for Publication Training (WFPT) specifically for doctoral students, especially non-native English speakers, to enhance their skills in publishing in international academic journals. The training, grounded in design-based research and authentic learning principles, simulates the full scholarly publishing process, from journal selection to responding to editorial feedback.

The ability to effectively publish research is fundamental for academic progression, institutional reputation, and the dissemination of knowledge. Addressing the challenges faced by doctoral students, particularly those for whom English is not their first language, is crucial for fostering inclusive research environments and ensuring a broader impact of scholarly work.

There is a recognized gap in effective support for doctoral students, particularly non-native English speakers, in navigating international academic publishing.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
