دانشگاه در طول تابستان یک کارگاه دو ماهه نگارش مقاله برگزار می کند. جلسات یک بار در هفته و به مدت سه ساعت هستند. در طول این کارگاه، کتاب Wendy Laura Belcher در مورد نوشتن مقاله را به تدریج با هم جلو خواهیم برد. مطالب کوتاه دیگر که مرجع قرار می گیرند، یکی مطلب Lynn Worsham است در مورد این که چه چیزی برای ویراستار مجلات مهم است و دیگری، وبلاگی درمورد نوشتن چکیده مقاله.

سیلابس پنج جلسه ابتدای دوره (از دوازده جلسه) به این ترتیب است:

WEEK 1 (Week of May 11): DESIGNING YOUR WRITING PLAN

Before you meet this week, make sure you have...

Read Introduction and Week 1 in Belcher (pp. 1-59)
If you don't have a draft, then you will also need to read Week 0 in Belcher (pp. 390-400)
Prepared a 1-minute elevator speech about your article project (to share with group)
Designed a daily and weekly writing schedule (to share with group)
[if time, can also do during session] Re-read your current draft to identify revision tasks & created a checklist of prioritized revisions (Belcher guides you through this on pp. 53-54)
[if time, can also do during/after session] Contacted 1-2 people who will give bibliographic recommendations for Week 5
[if time, can also do during/after session] Contacted 1-2 people who will give feedback on your article draft during/after Week 10

WEEK 2 (Week of May 18): ADVANCING YOUR ARGUMENT

Before you meet this week, make sure you have...

Read Week 2 in Belcher (pp. 60-89)
Drafted an argument statement (to share with group for peer feedback)
[if you have time] Reverse-outlined your own article draft (or created an outline if you don't have a draft)
Note: Originally, this schedule said to locate a model article in your field to reverse-outline; you're welcome to do this if you like. If you do, try to find either a recent work published by junior faculty in reputable journals and/or an article you plan to cite in your own article.

WEEK 3 (Week of May 25): ABSTRACTING YOUR ARTICLE

Before you meet this week, make sure you have...

Read Week 3 in Belcher
Read Kelsky, “How to Write an Abstract” and Worsham, “What Editors Want”
Drafted your article abstract (to share with group for peer feedback)
Listed 4-5 keywords, defined each term, and described how they function in your argument

WEEK 4 (Week of June 1): SELECTING A JOURNAL

Before you meet this week, make sure you have...

Read Week 4 in Belcher
Identified your top 3 journal choices with justifications (to share with group)
To construct your list, you should do the following (based on Belcher's text):
review the first 3 paragraphs of every article in that journal for the past 2 years
characterize the journal’s objectives, audience, and current publication trends
review the journal’s submission protocol, acceptance rate, and circulation (if available)
Note: as you're doing this, it might be worth identifying an article from each journal you could potentially reverse-outline for Week 10
Consider: drafting a query letter to send to journals

WEEK 5 (Week of June 8): REFINING YOUR WORKS CITED

Before you meet this week, make sure you have...

Read Week 5 in Belcher
Read Booth et al., “Engaging Sources” and Firth, “The Five Biggest Reading Mistakes”
Recommendation: using your keywords, search your field’s established databases for relevant literature from the past 50 years (use discretion—the goal is to be thorough, not exhaustive
