On the afternoon of November 11, the Xiangya Nursing High-level Academic Paper Writing Workshop was officially opened in classroom 647.

This workshop is lectured by Professor Maritta Välimäki (Editor of International Journal of Nursing Studies), a foreign teacher of our school.  A series of theme lectures on academic paper writing is launched, combining both the theory and  the writing. The significance of this workshop is to further help our teachers to apply for top international nursing journal papers, encourage our teachers to publish more high-level nursing academic papers, and further enhance the academic influence of our school’s nursing discipline.

The theme of the first lecture of the workshop was “the Significance of Research”. Maritta Välimäki gave a detailed explanation of what good research is, the importance of research, the meaning of research, key issues in essay writing, and how to write a good background. She also used specific examples to explain the relationship between the meaning, goals and impact of thesis writing.
