The College of Pharmacy at the University of Baghdad has organized an electronic workshop entitled “Tips for Academic Writing” delivered by Assist. Prof. Fadia Yacoub Kazim, a faculty member at the Clinical Pharmacy Branch.
The workshop addressed six topics related to academic writing, the first of which is the purpose of academic writing and its types and characteristics with the review of the vocabulary of a section of these types, the most important of which is the accuracy in the development of information and the fact that writing must be official in its formulation and pour into the main topic and stay away from giving personal opinions. The participants also talked about how to avoid the literal quoting when writing research through copying a passage of someone else’s words such as research of other authors in any discipline without referring to them or by reformulating sentences in academic writing.
