Write That Journal Article in Seven Days using AI

This intensive, activity-based full-day workshop gives early career researchers and research students a practical, structured pathway to completing a journal article. Rather than treating writing as an amorphous creative act, the workshop breaks the process into seven clear, manageable steps — each supported by targeted AI tools and hands-on activities that participants apply directly to their own work during the session. Ethics and research integrity are woven throughout the day. Participants will engage directly with questions of data integrity, data sovereignty, AI disclosure obligations, and the risks of undisclosed AI use in grant applications and publications.

Expected learning outcomes by the end of the workshop are:

• Apply a clear, repeatable seven-step process to move a journal article from idea to submission-ready draft

• Select an appropriate target journal and paper genre based on their data and career intentions

• Use AI tools responsibly and ethically at each stage of the writing process, in accordance with institutional and publisher guidelines

• Translate complex quantitative or qualitative data into coherent, publishable narrative

• Develop strategies for managing rejection and maintaining writing momentum

Participants are encouraged to bring a current writing project — or a 'gunna' project (one they have been meaning to finish) — to work on during the day. The pedagogy follows a consistent rhythm: introduce a concept, demonstrate a relevant AI tool, allow hands-on practice time, then group reflection. The workshop is neurodivergent-inclusive and culturally safe. Participants are never required to share work in progress publicly.

Zoom is only available for interstate members.
