Wie man eine wissenschaftliche Abschlussarbeit schreibt

This guide for planning, structuring, and writing academic papers by Umberto Eco, a professor at the University of Bologna, is as thorough as it is virtuosic. According to Eco himself, his book provides information on (1) what is meant by a thesis, (2) how to search for a topic and allocate time for its development, (3) how to conduct a literature search, (4) how to evaluate the material found, and (5) how to present the work externally. The translator of the book, Walter Schick, describes it as a refreshingly unconventional resource. Eco's book demonstrates how to write – focused on the reader, serving the reader, and also offers a glimpse into Eco's workshop.
