2) articles submitted for publication in volumes indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus / Web of Science.

2. A course participant is supposed to be able to: work with corpus and other Internet resources to find the necessary information, carry out the thematic selection (marking) of selected texts from the general issues of the European studies, create presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi programs to accompany speeches at conferences of various levels, publicize the obtained preliminary results of scientific research, etc.
In order to achieve the Programme Results of Education (PRE) for the Scientific Educational Programme (SEP) in the discipline “Multilingual Corpus and its Resources European Studies Research”, candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must possess knowledge and skills in the fields of IT, digital and corpus technologies, philology (linguistics, literary studies, translation studies), pedagogy, social communications, philosophy, cultural studies, etc. Knowledge and skills developed in the course study will help demonstrate the high correlation of the learned science discipline. The course permits and the connectivity of the course enables participants to acquire the necessary basic skills for their further studying of the discipline.

The discipline “Multilingual Corpus and its Resources European Studies Research” belong to the list of disciplines of professional training for a Ph.D. student. It is aimed at the generation, accumulation, and systematization of the knowledge of the acquirers in the field of European studies, their implementation in their scientific research (in the form of reports, theses, articles, and individual fragments of a dissertation) with the involvement of the resources of the multilingual corpus created by them and the introduction of the obtained results into the socio-economic life of Ukraine. The course contributes to the expansion of the spectrum of research on European integration, ways of close cooperation between scientists, educators, and other social groups, popularization of knowledge about EU state policy, European history, European law, economy, and internal relations in the EU from academic circles to the political community, mass media and the general public. Within the framework of this discipline, Ph.D. students will be aware of the need to observe the norms of publishing ethics adopted in the European academic environment, primarily academic integrity and the expansion of a general cultural worldview.

The Module being rich in the principles of the academic material selection gives the grounds for the scientific research and educational implementations of the European Studies course from different perspectives, the corpus resources are being analyzed along with the possibilities to perform informational queries, the corpus query and informational flow methods being defined for individual research of the course participants and for the purpose of compiling texts in the field of the European Studies, training corpus analysis skills (corpus tools software) in the frame of the complied multilingual corpus for text analysis, where one can find information about European history, European law, European economy, European sociology, European literature, European culture, and the language policy of the EU and European languages; a discourse analysis of the texts of the multilingual corpus is carried out and the corpus methods of analyzing the material for the scientific research of the course participants are tested using the corpus texts data. The best practices of the University Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES) are fully observed. Their experience is being applied in the preparation of the scientific observations for the conference proceedings of the various levels and also for the gaining the idea of the scientific text as a genre of the scientific publication – the primary scientific text for a future presentation, attention is focused on both the specific aspects of the content of the conference proceedings of the European Studies and the standards of their presentation with accord with rules and practices of the European tradition in the scope of the European Studies.
A step-by-step algorithm is being developed for writing articles in terms of the individual scientific research of the course participants with the involvement of multilingual corpus resources used for preparation for the specialized conference proceedings or publications in Ukraine, for publications indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus / Web of Science. The concepts of impact factor being revealed, indexing, and quartile are revealed, and the optimal structure of a scientific article, common in UACES practices, is characterized in detail, which includes: abstract (Abstract): description of the investigated problem and the obtained research results; keywords (Keywords); Introduction: statement of the problem and its connection with critical scientific tasks; analysis of the latest research and publications (Literature Review): a critical review of the literature with a reflection of the author’s position; formulation of the purpose of the article and its tasks (Aim and Objectives); an outline of the research methodology (Methodology) and main results (Results); discussion (Discussion); conclusions (Conclusions); list of literature (References).
The experience of popularization of the European Union Studies Association and the Arbeitskreis Europäische Integration for the creation of successful startups/projects in Ukraine is studied.
The module reveals the resources of the multilingual corpus for performing discourse analysis of the political speeches of European public figures, for identifying the types of linguistic personalities of politicians from the different EU countries, for studying the strategies of the influence of the European mass media on the general public, for the creation of educational and methodological materials for the educational discipline of the European Studies. The technological process of creating electronic presentations of speeches at conferences of various levels based on the results highlighted in abstracts, articles, and dissertations in Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi mode is characterized, which includes: acquainting applicants with the requirements for creating an electronic presentation, with methods of information visualization, the degree of correlation text, image, soundtrack. It is planned to conduct training events on the application of the developed innovative methodology of working with a multilingual corpus in the complex of its resources for the study of both the European studies and for the analysis of the material of the individual scientific research of the course participants. The practices of popularizing innovative methodologies for working with corpus resources are analyzed. The best of them are chosen for the wide implementation of the proposed innovative methodology for working with multilingual corpus for the study of other disciplines.
