Tip of the month - July 2026

Source: UTB

What makes a scientific argument convincing? And how can one cite sources correctly without losing the thread of one’s own argument?

These two questions are at the heart of the book „Wissenschaftlich argumentieren und zitieren. Logisch und korrekt“ by Carina U. Gröner. The book clearly explains how academic thinking, coherent argumentation, and proper citation are interconnected. Using numerous examples and practical guidance, it helps students structure academic texts logically, incorporate sources correctly, and avoid common mistakes. In addition, the book addresses the increasingly important question of how AI tools can be used responsibly in academic work and how their use can be transparently documented. It thus offers concise and up-to-date guidance for anyone who wants to conduct academic work confidently and in line with today’s standards. In other words, it’s perfect for your next academic presentation.

Please note: This book is currently only available in German.
