Good Writing Practices

Each PhD student has to acquire good writing practices during the doctorate training.

The following resources are part of the learning process:

• Regular discussions and feed-back from the thesis director and the committee,
• The use of the UNIL on-line tutorial Epigeum 
• The courses about scientific writing (organized by the Doctoral School FBM, the School of Languages UNIL & the CUSO transversal program) 
• A new FBM course about "ethics, scientific integrity & plagiarism" ( summer/autumn 2021).
• The regular use of a reference management software (e.g. Zotero)
• The regular use of the plagiarism detection tool called COMPILATIO. Professors, members of the « corps intermédiaire » of UNIL & PhD students should have automaticaly access to the tool.
• Consultations (need of advice) & accesses to COMPILATIO can be provided when requested to: plagiat@unil.ch.
