Abstract—Research is not a new discussion topic for the
Colombian academic community. Therefore, institutions of
higher education such as Universidad La Gran Colombia
attempt to generate alternatives to foster research processes in
undergraduate students. Unknown, this is a difficult task for
researchers because they are usually reluctant to search, track
and appropriate knowledge supported with solid theoretical
basis that allow them to generate an academic discourse beyond
the collective imagination. In fact, this research was focused on
creating academic writings from comparative researches that
were enhanced and contextualized within the international
seminar held at the Missouri State University in the United
States of America. The analysis of data shows that the research
process is always a joint task as there is an academic discipline
from the student and constant feedback from the professor or
researcher.
Index Terms—Academic writing, international seminar,
