The Researchers’ Writing Academy is ideal for researchers who write research papers based on data they have gathered (e.g. health, physical, earth, life sciences and psychology). If you are in the humanities or in computer science, this course is not a good fit for you, unfortunately!
If you are still unsure whether or not the RWA would be a good fit for you, just write us using this form and we'll get back to you with an honest answer. We only want you to join when we think you’d benefit from the program.
I know that you are probably overworked and busy to the point where you don‘t feel like you have time for professional development, i.e., time to learn new skills. I know it feels counterintuitive but making the time to take the Journal Publication Formula now will FAST-TRACK you -- meaning that once you're done, you will have fewer items on your to-do list and actually accomplish your publishing goals as a researcher.
If you feel really busy right now, I think it‘s important to grant yourself a moment of reflection: What are the things required for you to progress in your career? And: Which things are important to you in your career? If your answers to these questions are getting papers published in a consistent way, or being able to mentor your students through the writing process, or perhaps even enjoying the time you spend writing, then I wholeheartedly believe that joining Researchers‘ Writing Academy will be the best decision for you.
In terms of the time investment needed, there are 9 hours of core video content. I made sure that the course has absolutely no fluff, we always get straight to the point of how you can apply the exact techniques and concepts to write your paper clearly, concisely and efficiently.
If you are worried that engaging with the program will fall to the bottom of your to-do list, reach out to us as soon as you enrol. We have an Accountability Club inside the RWA, and we will tag you in our threads every Sunday encouraging you to make a plan of when you want to watch the lessons. You can also use our Co-Writing Sessions (happening several times a week) not only for writing but also for watching the course lessons. We will be there to support you!
We laser focus on original research papers in the program. We go into the nitty-gritty, every step that is part of writing a research paper. That being said, the underlying principles you will be learning, such as the Scientific Storytelling Framework, the Flow Formula and the 5 Foundations of Clear and Concise Writing, will be applicable to proposals, review paper and thesis writing. Just be aware that we don‘t provide feedback on anything other than original research articles inside the Researchers' Writing Academy.
You will have 12 months access from the day you enrol. If you feel like you want the course or our supportive community around for longer, you will be able to extend your access on a month-by-month basis after the 1st full year.
It's a hybrid -- think "flipped classroom" model! The course lessons are pre-recorded videos which means you can watch them on your own schedule and as often as you like. We additionally offer live calls (e.g., group coaching calls and co-writing sessions), where we help you implement what you learned in the video lessons or support you with getting your writing done.
