PhD Workshop on Scientific Writing, June 23-24, 2008, Oulu, Finland

We would like to invite you to the PhD Workshop on Scientific Writing, June 23-24, 2008, Oulu, Finland.

Most PhD students struggle with scientific writing and presentations in English, and normally much time in a PhD study is spent revising papers and preparing for conference talks. Given the amount of time that PhD students spend writing and preparing to present, students should invest in a systematic study of scientific writing. To lead such a study, we have invited Prof. Binshan Lin, Louisiana State University, USA, to give an intensive course on scientific writing 23rd - 24th June 2008. The course is aimed for PhD students, but will also be open for postdocs and younger faculty members.

Dr Binshan Lin

Dr Lin is the BellSouth Corporation Professor at College of Business Administration, Louisiana State University in Shreveport, USA. He received his PhD from the Louisiana State University in 1988. He is an eight-time recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Award at LSUS. Dr Lin receives the Computer Educator of the Year by the International Association for Computer Information Systems (IACIS) in 2005, Ben Bauman Award for Excellence in IACIS 2003, Distinguished Service Award at the Southwest Decision Sciences Institute (SWDSI) in 2007, Outstanding Educator Award at the SWDSI in 2004, and Emerald Literati Club Awards for Excellence in 2003. He has published over 170 articles in refereed journals, and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the following nine academic journals: Industrial Management and Data Systems, International Journal of Mobile Communications, International Journal of Innovation and Learning, International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development, Electronic Government: An International Journal, International Journal of Electronic Healthcare, International Journal of Service and Standards, International Journal of Electronic Finance, and International Journal of Management in Education. Dr Lin serves as President of Southwest Decision Sciences Institute (2004-2005), President of Association for Chinese Management Educators (2003-2004), President of International Chinese Information Systems Association (2000), Program Chair of IACIS Pacific 2005 Conference in Taipei, Taiwan, Program Chair of Management International Conference (MIC) 2006 in Slovenia, and General Chair of MIC 2007 in Slovenia and MIC 2008 in Spain. He also serves as a vice president (2007-2009) of Decision Sciences Institute (DSI).
