According to researchers interested in academic writing productivity, about 50% of doctoral students do not complete their degrees and only a small percentage of faculty publish most of the research in their fields. Yet, writing productivity is critical for academics at all levels, from graduate students who must write their theses to faculty who must publish articles, books, and grants to earn promotion and tenure. How can you develop a consistent writing habit? If you already write consistently, how can you improve your efficiency and keep your writing habit from growing stale? We will discuss how simple digital tools can bump your academic writing to a new level and keep your writing momentum going. Participants will have a chance to interact with some of the tools, ask questions, and continue their writing journeys with fresh ideas and insights.

DU September Boot Camp: Writing with Power
Here are some tips for writing an effective literature review:
- Develop a clear structure with headings and subheadings to guide the reader. Group related works together under logical categories.
- Synthesize and critique sources rather than just summarizing them individually. Look for patterns and debates across the literature.
- Use transition sentences to show how each new paragraph connects back to the overall discussion and purpose.
- Weave in your own perspective and identify gaps/tensions that your research will address. Point to the significance and need for your study.
