The Central Asia Academic Writing Workshop is one of several ongoing initiatives under the Central Asia University Partnership Program (UniCEN) platform. UniCEN was launched in 2018 as a regional public affairs and higher education initiative to enhance and promote partnership between higher education institutions in the United States and Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan). Since its inception, UniCEN has cultivated over 70 collaborative university-to-university partnerships and brought several U.S. based experts to Central Asia to discuss and support research, student mobility, dual degree programming, and various aspects of scholarship and higher education administration.
The Central Asia Academic Writing Workshop brought 38 young active researchers and faculty members from public universities in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan together to discuss research question formulation, proper writing techniques, identifying appropriate academic journals, proper use of citations, how to navigate the peer review process, and how to search for and write research grants. Dr. Jehn and Dr. Herron provided insightful and individual feedback to the participants and emphasized that quality research methods were crucial to successful article publication.
