Academic Biography｜学术简介写作要点

在投稿、参与学术会议的时候通常会要求作者提供Academic Biography 学术简介，本期【学术英语】向大家分析学术简介的写作要点。

What is '学术简介'?

Academic Biography学术简介是对学者/ 学生的介绍，通常篇幅比较短（1-3）段，在会议官网、论文后附或出版物上呈现。

An academic biography gives the essentials of your academic career. It should be tailored to the context in which it will be read (website, publication,conference,  etc.).

学术简介可以看作是个人的Branding，是在专业场合对自己的营销，在短短的Bio里精准、专业的介绍自己是最重要的。上方英文内容中的Essentials这个词使用非常精准，是指学术生涯中的亮点。如果在音乐人、电影人的语境下使用，则可以理解为“代表作”。

Organisation

Broad to Narrow: 从介绍自己的研究方向开始再到具体研究兴趣

Narrow to Broad: 从具体的研究项目开始再关联到你的专业

Timeline: 按照时间线展开

Thematic: 按照学科展开 (比较适合专业性强的场合)
