COLOMBO, Laura  y  CARLINO, Paula. Writing groups for the development of academic-scientific writing: A literature review of Anglo-saxon works. Leng. [online]. 2015, vol.43, n.1, pp.13-34. ISSN 0120-3479.

Results indicate that writing groups improve graduate students´ and junior faculty´s publication rates by accompanying the writing acquisition process. They also help enacting real academic and scientific writing practices and, thus, differ from other pedagogical proposals that favor fragmentary exercitation

Palabras clave : academic literacies; postgraduate studies and faculty development; writing groups; writing pedagogies; writing practices.
