The aim of the series is both to offer a forum for publications in the field and to help raise the profile of writing research. The Schreibwissenschaft series contains both monographs and anthologies. Book proposals are welcome. To ensure high academic quality, the series will be supported by an international advisory board of recognised experts.
Volume 1
Huemer, B., Lejot, E., & Deroey, K. (2019). Academic writing across languages: Multilingual and contrastive approaches in higher education (Schreibwissenschaft; Band 1). Vienna: Böhlau.

Volume 2
Huemer, B. et al. (2020). Schreibwissenschaft – eine neue Disziplin. Diskursübergreifende Perspektiven. (Schreibwissenschaft; Band 2). Vienna: Böhlau. The second anthology in the series is the result of a symposium held at Alpen-Adria University in Klagenfurt, Austria, in May 2019 in cooperation with the University of Luxembourg. The book presents theoretical and methodological approaches to academic writing in German from various disciplines. It explores the question of how far academic writing can establish itself as an (inter-)discipline for academic contexts.
