Abstract

This paper reports a HEA project aimed at exploring research students' perceptions of what helps them develop their academic writing. Students from across university subjects from the authors' institutions were asked questions about effective feedback for academic writing around these four themes: (a) supervisors' feedback; (b) training; (c) cohort experiences; and (d) personal strategies for academic writing development.
