Those who plan a career in science should start early publishing their own research results in international scientific journals. Within joint research projects, doctoral students often are co-authors of the published papers.
PEER awards those with credit points, who write and submit manuscripts with respect to their own research work as first authors. This is a lot of work, but also a very useful preparation for your thesis - even if it is not planned to be submitted as a cumulative dissertation.
Seminars for learning "Scientific Writing" are offered in several contexts, for example under Writing counseling at University of Bayreuth.
