With the Chair of Enterprise Computing, we organized a workshop on storytelling in academic papers.

How do I find exciting research gaps? How do I structure the story and write my paper? And how does the review and publication process work?

In a two-day workshop, Dr. Lisa Gussek, Prof. Dr. Manuel Wiesche and Prof. Dr. Christian Janiesch provided answers to these questions.

A wide variety of approaches, methods and tools were taught and tested in interactive exercises.

 

Highlights from the participants' perspective included:

- The problematization method for finding a research gap

- The tips and experiences of experienced writers

- The many ideas for starting the introduction

- The direct implementation of knowledge in practice

- The exchange with other colleagues about their ideas

We would like to thank Lisa Gussek, Manuel Wiesche and Christian Janiesch for organizing and teaching the course, from which we were able to take away many aha moments on the way to impactful articles.
