Description and contextualization of the subject
Este curso introduce y elabora un proceso de diseño y producción de publicaciones de investigación que tiene como objetivo conseguir que dichas publicaciones sean de buena calidad. Este proceso de preparación de publicaciones debe ser controlable para que sea eficiente y, por lo tanto, efectivo.El curso está diseñado para enseñar qué hacer (y, ocasionalmente, qué no hacer) en todas las tareas y actividades básicas que conforman la investigación científica. Su objetivo es enseñar los fundamentos de las buenas prácticas de investigación.
Los estudiantes aprenderán, entre otras cosas, como diseñar un plan de difusión de su investigación. Además, aprenderán a redactar un artículo de investigación, a diseñar un póster, las cuestiones a tener en cuenta a la hora de definir una Tesis Doctoral y los principales problemas éticos en la investigación. Por otra parte, desarrollaran un proyecto de investigación completo sobre un tema de interés dentro del área del PLN.
