LAB Focus publishes articles directed at the professional audience (class D1<\/strong>). The articles are based on the author\u2019s expertise and work conducted at LAB University of Applied Sciences, f. ex. project updates, views on recent developments in teaching, or discussion on current topics. Articles include new information or bring out new perspectives on the topic covered. Articles may be co-written with students or people outside of LAB as long as the input of LAB personnel is also evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please read the instructions carefully before starting the writing process. If you need more tips for writing, please visit the LAB Guide to Publishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-writing with students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LAB Staff\u2019s input must be evident in articles co-written with a student. This also applies to articles that are based on the student\u2019s thesis: just supervising the thesis is not considered sufficient. Articles based on a thesis can\u2019t be just abstracts but must bring forward a new perspective and should have at least one third of new or revised material. For more detailed instructions, please see https:\/\/libguides.lut.fi\/LABguidetopublishing\/cowriting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for the structure and content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offer the article primarily to at least one of the blog categories. Get acquainted to the blog categories from LAB Focus website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
