This workshop provides an opportunity to hear directly from a distinguished accounting scholar and leading journal editor on how to write effectively for academic publication. Drawing on decades of editorial and research experience, Professor Parker will share an insider perspective on effective writing strategies for research publication. Topics include research attitude and style, engaging with the literature, methods, theorising, structuring papers, referencing, editing, overcoming writer’s block, and more. While Professor Parker is a specialist qualitative researcher, the session is deliberately designed to be relevant to both qualitative and quantitative researchers.
