WRITE RESEARCH PAPERS THAT GET CITED.

In this online course, you will learn to write impactful research papers using my 4-step system called the LEAP academic writing approach. It’s a blueprint for first understanding the research results and then convincingly describing them in a research paper.

Struggling to write efficiently

Many scientists don’t enjoy writing research papers or are inefficient when doing it. You need a blueprint for writing each separate section and the research paper as a whole. This online course will show you how to write papers efficiently.

Confusing research results

Research is complex and the results are often difficult to comprehend. Even if so, you need a method for analyzing and communicating the results clearly. This online course will show how to think through writing.

You are doing important research. But research results don’t exist until they are published. Struggling to publish efficiently will even hurt your career prospects.

I’ve developed a blueprint for writing impactful research papers

In this interactive online course I will show you how to visualize your research results, frame a message that convinces your readers, and write each section of the paper. Step-by-step.

And of course – you will learn to respond the infamous Reviewer No.2.

Research Paper Writing Masterclass

The best way of learning is by doing… so you will actually write a research paper during this online course.

Don’t worry, I will guide you through the paper writing process step-by-step and I will show you what exactly to include in each section of the research paper.

You will also receive a paper writing template that includes a key sentence skeleton and writing prompts. These will help you get going with the writing process and help you to decide what exactly to include in the paper.

…but most importantly

I will introduce you to the LEAP research paper writing approach. It will actually help you to make sense of your research results. In other words, in the course I will show you how to think through writing.

To help you master the LEAP writing approach, I’ve included quizzes, assignments, and interactive simulation games in this interactive online course.

Lay out your Research Results

Get excited to write the paper

There is no better way to start writing a research paper than by visualizing and describing your results. That’s what you will learn in the first LEAP step with the help of my 8-progression data approach.

Explain the results

The results are not the core value of the research paper; rather it is the explanation of their meaning.

In the second LEAP writing step, you will do the heavy lifting and guide your readers through the results.

But don’t worry, in the course I will show you how to first understand your research results and then present them in a way that makes sense to your readers.

Hi, my name is Martins Zaumanis. I am a materials scientist.

Research paper citations of Martins Zaumanis

I work at ETH University domain in Switzerland. A career in academia is my dream come true but given my origins, the odds were stacked against me.

You see, I grew up in a working-class family in a country that not many can find in a map (Latvia), and I studied at a second-rate university that did not even provide access to research papers.

But I quickly learned the value of good academic writing. Because of my papers, I could acquire funding to do a PhD in the United States. From that point on, I worked on developing a method for becoming as efficient as possible when writing research papers.

Now, after publishing many papers, supervising multiple students, and teaching courses on academic writing, I want to make my research paper writing approach known to anyone. Because… well, I believe in science. And I believe that well-communicated research results push science forward.

Who the research paper writing course is for…

I designed this interactive online course for young and ambitious scientists. It will help you to get started if you have never written a paper. It will also show you how to be efficient and enjoy the writing process, even if you have already written papers before.

The research paper writing course is best suited for scientists who gather research data to publish. The relevant fields include life sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, chemistry, geosciences, psychology, etc. The course is NOT well suited for scientists in humanities or computer science.

The course is specifically designed for writing research papers. Not literature reviews, not research thesis. Research papers. Sure, there are a lot of similarities in any scientific writing, but this course goes into the intricate details of writing specifically research papers for publishing in academic journals.

The course is NOT for you if you are an experienced scientist with lots of experience writing research papers.

It is also NOT for you if you want a shortcut to publishing research papers. It’s just like for a football player: a coach will help you get there quicker, but you still have to put in the practice to become good at it.

The Research Paper Writing Course will help you to…

Make a difference with your research

Get recognized for your research

Become efficient at writing so you can spend more time actually doing research

Increase your value in the academic job market

Enjoy the writing process (no kidding!)
