About this course

Standalone three-day module (21 supervised hours, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.), delivered in person in Kinshasa or on site, for faculty, doctoral candidates, thesis supervisors and research-institute staff. Prerequisites: bring a real project (a one-page topic, a draft manuscript or collected data); enrolment is only confirmed with this document; be able to produce a structured document in a word processor; read scientific English at least passively. By the end, the participant: formulates a precise research question; builds an APA 7-compliant bibliography verified at source; structures their article along IMRAD lines; writes an abstract in French and English; presents data in a readable table or figure; identifies three target journals and spots predatory ones; responds point by point to a review report; assembles a complete submission package. Eight practical workshops on the participant's own project (62% hands-on); assessment on real productions. Integrity rule: taking this module grants no right, priority or advantage when submitting to the CAFNIA Journal or CAFNIA Éditions. Groups of 8 to 20 participants.
