alumnos/estudiantes autores de trabajos (académicos) Explanation: Me parece difícil lograr la concisión del original pero entiendo que esta es la idea. What is a write up for students? It is that type of writing where the writer is expected to produce a paper in response to a question or a topic based on the content the writer would have learnt in an academic setting like a college or a university. https://www.grin.com/document/298643#:~:text=It is that type... |

peer agreement (net): +1Estudiantes matriculados en nuevo año académico con tesis pendiente de entrega Explanation: After conducting some research on a term truly new to me, I am suggesting this possible rendering, “estudiante matriculado en nuevo año académico con tesis pendiente de entrega”, which is (I am aware of this fact) quite long, but focuses on what I believe to be the two main features of the situation: Students (I think they are all PGRs, postgraduate researchers, your own source says it so) who are duly enrolled at university AND whose thesis has still not been submitted to the pertinent addressee/recipient (whoever this person(s) may be). It must be noted that the funding criterion (financiación, beca) is not critical to determining whether a student can be classified as a “writing(-)up student” or not, that is why I have omitted it in my proposal. In other words, the funding yardstick can be put aside, although this aspect may depend or vary on the particular policy pursued by every university in the pertinent English-speaking country (UK, most likely, in this case, as per the Erasmus quotation of the query). A final remark: Writing-up students may also include the so-called “sabbatical students” (estudiantes en período sabático, normalmente un año). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2023-09-25 11:53:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.hughes.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Acco... A ‘writing up’ student is a student taking a course with a thesis requirement which has a College recorded ‘submission date’, and a course end date recorded by the College as before the division of Michaelmas Term (9 Nov in 2023), and who has not submitted their thesis. The following reference describes in detail who they are and how different their situations may be: https://wonkhe.com/blogs/how-many-postgraduate-research-stud... Writing wrong? It is likely that the pandemic, and lack of help from universities and funding bodies, will cause many PGRs to be pushed into studying beyond their registration (or ‘funded’) period. Interestingly, when the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) publishes the number of active PGR students, it omits the population classed as “writing-up” (after consultation with UK governments and funding bodies). A “writing-up” student is someone who has entered the new academic year outside of their registration period without submitting a thesis – the HESA definition is: “Students who are normally expected to submit a thesis to the HE provider for examination, have completed the work of their course and are not making significant demands on HE providers resources, plus those on sabbatical.” (…) Who are “writing-up” students? These students are likely in a range of situations. Most will be in some form of work (inside or outside the university), with the rest continuing to work unpaid and living on savings. This might be a planned or unplanned period, though we can assume that no one really plans to still be writing their thesis after their registered time limit and without funding. Time spent as a “writing-up” student will also vary widely depending on the situation, and a long time may increase the chances that no thesis is submitted at all. Importantly, we don’t know. This data not is collected or routinely analysed and made available, at least not publicly. We suggest that there could be three main groups: • Academic escapees – those in non-academic employment (whether they intended this or not) finishing their theses in the evenings/weekends/holiday leave, with plans to submit • Perpetual PhD students – those still in the lab/library working on their thesis as their full-time job, perhaps picking up teaching or technician work, relying on savings or their parents/partners to support their last stretch. This is the group we would expect to find students hit by Covid-19 delays to research • The disenfranchised – those who are not liquid financially, do not have the privilege of family/partners to support them and who have lost the support of their university – and are not currently making significant progress towards completion |

Alumnos que están escribiendo “papers” Explanation: O en la fase de escribir “papers”. Se refiere, entiendo, a cuando pasan a escribir “papers”. Podría ser también, si se trata de doctorandos, cuando comienzan a escribir la tesis (aunque por el camino también suelen escribir “papers” sobre aspectos específicos de lo que están preparando). En España, al menos, en la universidad se refieren a estos trabajos como “papers” |
