Academic writing for research groups

✏️ For labs who want to publish in high-impact journals without lacking structure in the writing process

You and your group are full of ideas and have generated tons of data that could make an impact on the field. 

BUT:

It takes your group a long time to get a paper out. And then it’s a desk-reject more often than not.

Yep, it’s difficult to crack the code that get papers accepted in high-impact journals if you are a new PI. Especially when you’ve never been part of one of those big groups who regularly publish in the most prestigious journals in your field.

As a PI/research group leader, you don’t have the capacity (time, energy, focus) to write each of your group’s papers from scratch.

And nor should you - I think.

Your group members have time to write but their paper drafts end up requiring a lot of editing from you.
Your group members have time to write but their paper drafts end up requiring a lot of editing from you.

Some of your trainees may struggle to think of the best structure for their paper and don’t know what should go in which section. They simply are confused about how to best present research in a paper.

Others procrastinate on their writing or experience writer’s block. 

And the result?

MANUSCRIPTS CONTINUE TO PILE UP ON YOUR DESK AND YOU’RE STUCK IN CONSTANT REVISING.


Let’s be honest, you are probably delaying the publishing process because you don’t have time for the thorough edits your students’ manuscripts require. 

I absolutely love, love the course. Anna gave me a formula that really makes sense. Once I watched the first module, I was hooked!

During my enrollment, I worked on two first-author papers using the Journal Publication Formula. One of them was recently published.

I consider myself fortunate that I found out about the Researchers’ Writing Academy.

Dr Katia CanenguezDr Katia CanenguezAssistant Professor, Harvard Medical School / Massachusetts General Hospital, US

Anna’s formula turns a complicated and oftentimes daunting task into an easy to follow method. This formula removed the barriers I had in my writing process, and helped me with task initiation, organization, and goal-making.

I now have a clearly written manuscript that delivers my results, and demonstrates their impact from the first sentence to the last.

NOT SURE IF THIS SCIENTIFIC WRITING PROGRAM FOR RESEARCH GROUPS IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR RESEARCH GROUP?


If your group…

  • procrastinates on writing,

  • needs to get more effective at writing clearly and concisely,

  • doesn’t use an efficient co-writing process, OR

  • gets rejected by high-impact journals,

…the answer is probably yes! Confirm by watching the training below.

Imagine your whole research group could rely on a clear structure in the writing process to get papers from data to submission-ready draft in a controlled time frame.

Would it be worth it for you to have time to focus on the science instead of getting buried in track-changes?

What if you would finally be able to see how your group’s work is impacting your field — and the research community was recognising it?

The thing is:

You don’t need to spend time figuring out how to come up with a streamlined writing process OR how to teach your mentees how to write.

 

The Researchers’ Writing Academy — our academic writing program suitable for research groups — can do that for you.

The Researchers’ Writing Academy is for scientists and researchers who write research papers based on data they have gathered, whether qualitatively or quantitatively. Our program is a good fit for researchers in the health, physical, earth, life sciences, psychology and related fields.

The scientific writing course for research groups is based on my step-by-step paper writing system:

THE JOURNAL PUBLICATION FORMULA.

IT’S THE PROVEN METHOD THAT:

  • Speeds up your paper writing
  • Crafts a compelling narrative for your paper
  • Gives you a structured plan of wahat should go in each section
  • Helps you communicate your research clearly and concisely

…so you can spend less time on writing papers and can start getting published in high-ranking journals!

THIS IS HOW OUR SCIENTIFIC WRITING COURSE, BASED ON THE JOURNAL PUBLICATION FORMULA, TAKES RESEARCHERS FROM DATA TO SUBMISSION-READY DRAFT:

Module 1

STREAMLINE YOUR WRITING PROCESS

Learn the most efficient workflow to write your paper and map it onto your calendar. Internal deadlines aren’t enough though, you’ll also learn to master committing to your writing sessions!

In addition, you’ll understand how to integrate your co-authors in the process and manage common ”writing wrenches” such as perfectionism, fear of rejection and writer’s block, so you’re all set up for a streamlined writing process.

Download your writing project plan to make the writing process efficient!

DEVELOP YOUR STORY

Master the scientific story framework, a no-fluff system to introduce a coherent narrative into your paper from the very beginning of the writing process.

You define the reader of your story and construct your argument
(yes, science papers need an argument too!).

Download your key story elements worksheet and your storyboard template to guide you through the process!

Module 2
Module 3

STRUCTURE EACH SECTION

You use the key story elements defined in Module 2 to start outlining each section of your paper. You create section and paragraph outlines for the Introduction, Results and Discussion sections.

The paragraph template for writing the Results sections makes sure that you are guiding your reader through your argument with flow.

You’ll also learn why the References section shouldn’t be an afterthought and how to select studies to cite in your paper.

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND CONCISELY

It’s finally time for writing your first draft! All you need to know about good writing are the 5 foundations of clear and concise writing — no need for an advanced English language class!

You will also be walked through how to effectively present your findings visually, aka how to make good Figures.

And when your first draft is ready, you can use our step-by-step process to edit your own writing effectively — so you always know when to stop perfecting your paper.

Before enrolling in the Researchers’ Writing Academy, I felt like I was drowning in a writing sea. I had the world of time and resources but I simply did not know what to write.

I followed Anna’s structured writing plan and I could see that my writing started to flow. The storytelling approach kickstarts the process of writing a paper for me and my introduction sections aren’t lengthy anymore but focused. I actually started to enjoy the writing process itself! I always knew I had it in me, and the Researchers’ Writing Academy was the key to that portal. This is by far the best course I have ever attended (not only on writing but in general)!

As soon as I finished the course, I produced two papers. I am now publishing actual papers that I believe anyone would love to read! And that is my foundation stone for the science journey I am about to embark on.

Before enrolling in the Researchers‘ Writing Academy, I approached academic writing as something tedious that I needed to do. I struggled to know what story I wanted to tell in my papers and my writing always seemed kind of chunky and disconnected. More often than not, my co-authors and I would end up having an editing nightmare!

Now, after joining the course, I have confidence in my writing skill. I know exactly what I need to do, how to structure paragraphs and how to make my writing flow. Anna is very patient with her students and able to pick up the story of a paper quickly - no matter the research field.

Writing a paper with co-authors is now a much smoother process. I can now write a draft in just four weeks – if I’m clear on my results and fully in writing mode. The other big change is that I have started to really enjoy writing. Being able to see a year-long project turn into a well-written manuscript is so much fun!

Since enrolling in the course, my papers read so much better and I have already published one paper (that was highlighted by the journal as paper of the month!) and two more are on the way!

Writing was dreadful for me. I had to write one last paper from my PhD and I had no motivation to do that because the paper had been rejected twice already and I had moved to a new role and discipline.

The Journal Publication Formula gave me that clear vision of why people should care about the research and that made it easier to write the paper! It helped me organise my thoughts and the structure of the paper. The paper is under review now, so it passed the first test: It didn’t get desk-rejected!

The prorgram helped me to enjoy writing and I think it made me a better academic! Because if you enjoy writing papers, you are going to write more of them.

The program is definitely worth the money spent because you get the hang of how you want to structure your papers. Going through the process of the Journal Publication Formula gave me confidence into defining my own voice and what I wanted my papers to be like. It’s an investment into my future self.

Dr Amelie JeanneauDr Amelie JeanneauPostdoc, The University of Adelaide in Australia

I really enjoyed the course. I am an excellent writer and have been writing and submitting manuscripts for a while. However, the course significantly improved my process of engaging with and receiving feedback from my co-authors.

The particular breakthrough I received in the RWA was with regard to the necessary work prior to writing, especially with regard to creating an outline prior to committing to a full manuscript. It sounds like a simple intervention; but it really changed the way I interact with my co-authors. It has cut down significantly on major edits of fully written manuscripts and allows me to fully engage co-authors early on in the manuscript-writing process. Now there is less confusion and fewer surprises during the writing process!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are questions other researchers often ask before joining the Researchers’ Writing Academy:

WE ARE RESEARCHERS IN FIELD X, IS THIS COURSE FOR US?
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.

WHAT IF I'M TOO BUSY RIGHT NOW?
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!

WILL THE PROGRAM HELP US WITH WRITING PROPOSALS, REVIEW PAPER OR A THESIS?
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.

HOW LONG WILL WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM FOR?
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.

IS THIS A LIVE PROGRAM?
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.

HOW DO THE GROUP COACHING CALLS WORK?
As a member, you can submit a question or a part of your paper for review for each group coaching call. On the call, you will get feedback from one of our writing coaches and will be able to discuss it live. Even if you don't have something to submit, these calls are great to see how the Journal Publication Formula can be applied to different research studies. It's SO useful to see even if it's not your field! Plus, meeting the other members and seeing the progress they're making on their papers is always inspiring and motivating. 💃

WHICH CAREER STAGE IS THE PROGRAM MOST SUITABLE FOR?
The Researchers' Writing Academy is great for researchers at all stages. We currently have Assistant Professors, PhD students, Postdocs, Professors and also a few undergraduate students in the program.

WHAT IF WE CAN’T AFFORD THE COURSE?
If you cannot afford the full price of the course ($997 USD), I have fantastic news for you: There is a payment plan option (12x $97 USD), which means you only have to pay $97 per month for 12 consecutive months.

Also: You may not need to pay for this program out of your own (personal) pocket. If you have a research grant, please check whether it would be allowed to allocate some of the funding to this course as professional development.

Your department, institution or research group may also have funds for you to pay for the course. Here's a blog post I wrote on how you can go about securing university funds for your professional development (including a pitch template).

ARE INSTITUTIONAL LICENCES AVAILABLE?
Yes, we're so glad you asked! You can get access to the Researchers' Writing Academy for your whole campus, faculty, graduate school, department or institution. Please submit an inquiry here and we will get back to you via email.

STILL GOT A QUESTION? GET IN TOUCH.

Before joining the Researchers’ Writing Academy, I was questioning if I belonged in academia – AND whether or not someone was going to figure out! My writing was disorganised and the feedback I would often get was something along the lines of “we don’t think your research fits in our journal” even though I thought it fitted perfectly.

The Researchers’ Writing Academy has helped me understand in a tangible way how to communicate my research through storytelling. And I already got a Revise & Resubmit! I got so much confidence from this program and this is a big deal for me. Now I’m fully committed to my academic career!

Anna demonstrates in the course that she actually knows the information she’s teaching and isn’t just regurgitating what others have said in the past. She really hooks her audience!

On a broader level, I have understood that we researchers aren’t just all bad communicators. Rather, the reason why we often don’t communicate well is that we don’t know the process or structure to communicate better. And that’s fixable!

Dr Jourdan DavisDr Jourdan DavisAssistant Professor, University of North Carolina, US

The most concrete result after joining the Researchers’ Writing Academy is that my second PhD article has just been published in One Earth and the fact that it attracted media attention! It was really rewarding!

But what is more important is that I now have confidence in the whole writing process and that is life-changing for me.

I used the Scientific Storytelling Framework taught in the course not only to write my paper but also to prepare for the interviews with journalists.

I think the Researchers’ Writing Academy is the only program available that teaches you how to organise the whole writing process so you produce a scientific paper that gets published.
