Title:
How to Write an Academic Paper

Abstract:
We will discuss some basic but important aspects of writing academic papers. Topics include choosing a research problem, good writing style, choosing a journal/conference, the review process and responding to referees. We will keep the discussion general, but concrete examples will be from the optimization area.
