Join in the global challenge to boost your academic writing this November. Check our website for resources, share your tips with the researcher community, and start writing!
November is Academic Writing Month, an academic write-a-thon that happens every year, inspired by National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), catering to the specific needs of academic writers.
Originally hosted by 'PhD2Published', the global academic community has now taken up the annual challenge to support each other to pledge their writing projects, record progress, and share thousands of writing tips via the #AcWriMo hashtag. Follow us on Twitter, @UCL_ODResearch for more academic writing month updates.
