Marc Abernathy
Marc Abernathy has been editing researchers’ academic manuscripts and training them how to be better academic writers for over 10 years. Work that he has edited has been published in Organization Studies, Academy of Management Journal, and Global Strategy Journal, among many others. He has led workshops and academic writing sessions at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft Winter School in Vienna, and many more...
Editing your own work can be incredibly difficult because you are so close to your own research that it’s often hard to see why other readers might get lost or have trouble following you. In this talk, I’d like to share with you three things I’ve learned from editing academic manuscripts that I think will make your writing clearer and easier for readers to understand. Specifically, I want to share with you • an easy way to craft an argument, evaluate it (and revise it if necessary), and then integrate it into your text
• a mistake academic writers often make when using terminology that confuses readers
• an easy test you can apply to see whether your paragraphs are coherent (and what to do if they’re not)
