[MAXIMUM of two pages, New Times Roman, font size 12) (text only, no figures) using an appropriate academic formatting/referencing style and formal writing style. Use the section titles and referencing style required by the scientific journal in question]. Please check the Interdisciplinary co-created research article assignment, for motivations for the strict requirement regarding size and font.

Take also this golden opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and work a little harder for this part of the three credits to give yourself the best possible 'immersion' in writing where you dive deep and work hard in order to gain the rewards of detailed person feedback on your writing performance (either face to face or via Zoom).

This journal-paper extended abstract assignment prepares you to produce hard-hitting summaries of scientific content, offering readers more detail than can be communicated in a single abstract. The use of a professional academic tone and appropriate use of terminology is key here. Submit your journal-paper extended abstract in PDF format. Remember no graphical content is allowed. Therefore, you need to be able to clearly describe in detail what your research is all about.

Please submit the exercise to MyCourses. Don't forget to mention your name and student number.  Name the file with your last name.

Feedback on your abstract

You will receive detailed proofreading comments on your written content submissions and face-to-face feedback.

A 30-minute individual feedback session for the pop-science pitch (15 min) and the journal paper extended abstract (15 min) is compulsory for all students taking the 3 ECTS course. You will get your individual feedback time from the course staff.

Regarding the journal-paper extended abstract assignment (about 15 min discussion)

During your feedback session we will focus on the proofreading comments given on the submitted two-page extended abstract that was submitted in PDF format. Style and cohesion of ideas is what we will discuss in this individual feedback session.
