Der Kurs ist aus Urheberrechtsgründen nur für Teilnehmende der Lehrveranstaltungen zugänglich. Bitte wenden Sie sich diesbezüglich an Hermann.Klug@plus.ac.at.

This course is designed to help Master's and PhD students master advanced scientific writing skills. Its primary aim is to support students in preparing high-quality scientific papers by developing structured, effective writing and formatting techniques. A key focus is placed on leveraging Microsoft Word functionalities for academic writing, as well as on strategies for searching, analysing, and working with scientific literature. Students will receive practical guidance on setting up an efficient writing environment, including tips and tricks for integrating Microsoft Word with EndNote 21 to streamline referencing and citation management.

This Integrated Project (IP) is an Interdisciplinary, Integrated, and Interactive (I3) project to be realised in the domain of Geoinformatics (GIS) and Earth Observation (EO). It is based on a complete project cycle to be realised by one student. In exceptional cases two students are allowed to work on one project but independent objectives. The project should focus on applied research with a strong emphasis on practical implementation of a spatio-temporal subject. Students are asked to choose their topics, to analyse their challenges/problems, to frame their objectives, and to define hypothesis and research questions. This includes the framing of user groups and/or including an assessment of customer and/or target group requirements. All learning objetives, competencies, course expectations, and deliverables will be explained in a guideline provided in the beginning of the course.
