PRESENTATION

The course is primarily addressed to PhD students and to master students who are (at least) curious about academia, or more generally, about the general process of scientific production in social sciences. The course will be perfectly suitable for students in economics and management, and to a lesser extent in sociology and law.

Most of the course will be about writing techniques and how to prepare an oral presentation -- which might be useful even for master students who do not intend to start a PhD.

CONTENU

  • The first lecture will clarify what it means precisely to be a "researcher" in social sciences, and introduce a few elements about how science is actually produced.

  • The second section will discuss in detail what makes a 'good' paper, and then offer a series of practical tips about how to write effectively (in terms of working habits, structure of the document, and practical points).

    After a 'theoretical' presentation in class of those different elements, students will be asked to apply those principles to the writing of a paper or master thesis during the class.

  • A few hours will be dedicated to the presentation of the publication process (i.e. the submission, peer review, editorial decision, revisions, etc.), with in particular a training about how to write effective referee reports.

    The "open science" movement and the main challenges it faces will also be presented.

  • The last sessions of the course will be dedicated to the preparation of oral presentations, with again a 'theoretical' part about what should and should not be done when (i) preparing your presentation and (ii) giving the actual talk. Students will then have to prepare the presentation of the paper on which they worked in the first part of the course, and then present their paper in front of the other students.
