Workshop – Academic Writing and Publishing in the Postplagiarism Era

This workshop is part of the project “Addressing Academic Misconduct and Integrity in Georgia,” funded with the support of the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe (GCE-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland.

This workshop is designed for early-career researchers and doctoral students and focuses on academic integrity, generative AI, and scholarly writing and publishing in the digital age. It explores how AI tools are reshaping research practices, authorship, and scholarly responsibility, with particular attention to ethical use, transparency, and integrity. Participants will engage in practical discussions on responsible AI-supported writing, avoiding academic misconduct and navigating emerging institutional and journal policies. The workshop also provides guidance on developing a strong academic voice and maintaining rigor while working with digital tools. Through interactive sessions and real-world examples, participants will gain concrete strategies for ethical, confident, and future-oriented academic practice, including insights into publishing in leading international journals.

The workshop will be led by PD Dr. Elena Denisova-Schmidt, Privatdozentin at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and Research Fellow at the Boston College Center for International Higher Education, and Dr. Tatiana Sitchinava, Assistant Researcher at the Institute of Demography and Sociology, Ilia State University.
