Guide for academic writing
Dear students,
This guide has been compiled by the Institute of Philosophy and the Social Sciences at BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg to make it easier for you to write academic papers and to answer basic questions about the working methods, work processes and tools used in academic writing.
In addition to useful tips on research, this guide provides you with a description of the basic requirements for scientific work as well as methodological, content-related and formal assistance for the preparation of written work.
Please note that the following tips on text design are only suggestions of proven standards. You should always discuss the framework conditions of a paper (layout, formal design, structure, structure/outline, etc.) with your teacher as early as possible, as individual teachers may also require other standards.
