Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten

Scientific work is relevant for all students - and raises many fundamental and many technical questions. This textbook provides a concentrated and comprehensive introduction to the topic of scientific work. It is also aimed at inexperienced students and provides all the necessary basics for writing seminar papers and theses. The book explains the basic requirements for scientific work, gives detailed instructions for the individual phases and steps of a scientific paper and presents frequently used assessment criteria for the final check of the almost finished paper shortly before submission. It conveys the rules and techniques of scientific work, but also the meaning behind it. A detailed chapter on researching material in electronic or digital library media has been newly included in the 12th edition. Current developments in the use of different citation methods have been taken into account with an expansion of the descriptions of the text-integrated short reference technique. The book is an indispensable companion for students and doctoral candidates in all phases of academic work.
