Description:

The main aim of this workshop is to guide PhD students, early-career researchers, and junior academics through the publication process in high-quality journals. In the workshop, we will share our expert insights into publishing in top-tier journals. The workshop will provide a unique overview on the full publication process from writing a successful paper to selecting the best outlet and preparing the manuscript for submission, as well as the review process. Emphasis will be placed on writing tips, dos and don’ts, identifying potential journals for publication and journals’ expectations, as well as on how to successfully address the comments of the reviewers. There will be plenty of room for group exercises (e.g., reviewing good and bad examples, reviewing participants’ own work) and discussion.

Description

This workshop is suitable for practitioners, students and researchers at any career stage who are interested in intervention(s) (studies) in the workplace. The interest in and necessity to apply evidence-based interventions to boost occupational health and well-being has grown over the past decades. In this workshop, we will discuss best-practice guidelines for designing, implementing and evaluating interventions. You will be invited to reflect on your own ideas for how to design or optimize your own intervention practice or study. We will leverage the knowledge, creativity and experience in the room and use each others’ strengths to think of new intervention approaches and/or how to have a bigger impact as occupational health psychologists. The workshop will be interactive and combine presentations on theory and existing research with exercises in small groups.

Description:

The R programming language proves to be a valuable instrument for individuals in the fields of data science, analysis, and statistics, particularly those engaged in academic environments. R allows for a multitude of statistical analyses, including efficient data visualization, exploratory analysis, modelling, and handling more sophisticated models in social research, such as structural equation models. This course aims to provide an introduction to R that enables the user to explore all the capabilities of this software.
