Workshop "The rules of paraphrasing"
Academic writing requires paraphrasing skills that are vital for establishing scholarly credibility and conveying complex ideas with precision. The aim of this workshop is to equip researchers with four essential mechanisms that professional academic writers leverage across all publishing contexts: using synonyms, changing grammar structures, applying different word forms, and shifting focus. You will learn to systematically apply these core tactics to elevate your writing and ethically refine AI-assisted drafts.
By the end of the workshop, you will have gained a reliable four-part toolkit for rewriting source material and AI-generated text with confidence. This foundational skill set is the critical first step toward developing an authoritative, authentic, and precise scholarly voice required for publication and genuine academic contribution.
