Course Structure: Modules Breakdown

During this research paper writing course, you will progress through the 4 LEAP paper writing steps:

Step 1

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 visualization blueprint.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

advertise the research

No, you don’t have to “sell your paper”.

Rather, in this online course you will learn to present the value of your research to entice the casual browser to read your entire research paper.

Step 4

prepare for submission

Learn to convince the infamous Reviewer No.2

In the final part of the course, you will select the most suitable journal for your paper and learn how to ensure that the paper gets through the peer review process as painlessly as possible.

Like it or not, we live in a world where scientists are judged based on their h-index.

Otherwise, your academic career might be short-lived.

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 Is This Course 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 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.

This course is NOT ideal for:

  • Seasoned academics with extensive publishing experience.
  • Those looking for shortcuts or unwilling to invest time in skill development. 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 course is well suited for scientists who do not gather data in their research. Examples might include humanities or theoretical computer science.

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!)
