About me

My name is Liuba Borisova (PhD). I’m a researcher, an educator, and a researcher’s mentor. Despite having spent my formative years in a developing countriy, I was able to carve out a successful career as a scholar in Europe. It took me many years to fully grasp the Western academic standards and acquire the necessary skills. Later, I made it my goal to assist scientists conducting research across the globe in avoiding burnout, long learning curves, stress, and disappointment. Learn more about my experiences as a non-Western academic.

Publication Planning Sprint

If you are ready to head-start the planning of your next journal publication, I have created the Publication Planning Sprint.

The sprint is a dynamic, one-week sprint that takes you through the conceptualisation of your article, planning out your timeframe, and preparing to manage your publication as a project. It gives you tools, checklists, app recommendations, and many practical tips.

Journal Publication Clinic

Journal Publication Clinic is a full course on planning, preparing, writing, and publishing a journal article. The course walks you through the entire process of writing an article from the day you get your research results, and to the moment you approve the proofs of your manuscript.

What’s in it:
– 5 modules of lessons from planning and preparing to writing and submitting an article to a journal
– Access to all materials for a year
– Video-lessons, checklists, apps

Who is it for:
– All researchers and PhD candidates who are experiencing problems with writing up their research
– Academics who are not sure how to proceed with an article and procrastinate instead of writing

Happy client who knows how to write her research papers.

I’ve spent 1.5 years “writing” this paper. I was annoyed, stressed, and frustrated. I almost quit. Then I found you. In the past 12 weeks (WEEKS!) I have planned, written, and submitted this annoying paper to the journal. And I even found it enjoyable! Two more papers are currently in the planning stages. I have no words to express how grateful I am… Indeed, this is nothing short of a miracle.

Happy client who knows how to write his research papers.

My article was rejected three times. At that point, I was prepared to just forget about it altogether. Honestly, I was just too nervous to send in anything… And then I learned about your mentorship and decided to take the plunge. After two rounds of revision, this paper was accepted to the journal today; I have since completed a second paper and begun work on a third. “Really, it’s shocking how much easier the process is now.

TOBIAS, Gothenburg University, Sweden

Happy client who knows how to write her research papers.

I couldn’t picture myself passing my PhD defence or working in academia afterward because of my many doubts. Despite doing the research, I couldn’t sit down and write a single sentence. But this year marked the turning point. You were the one who gave this change its start. Now that I know how to plan, structure, and write papers, I save so much time. Thank you!

Let’s work together on stepping up your
Researcher career

Working at a number of European universities, I witnessed firsthand the strain and anxiety that the “publish or perish” culture places on academics. Researchers from regions other than the West often feel left out of the scientific conversation. The stress and isolation, however, can be mitigated by developing new skills in areas such as research writing and project management, facing one’s fears, and building one’s self-assurance.
