About the Workshop

Publication of research papers has increased significantly in academia, in professional communities and in all
disciplines worldwide. Especially in academia both graduate students and faculties are expected to publish
their research work in highly indexed journals and conferences. Publication of research papers has become a
key measure for tenure and promotional assessments. External organizations often consider publications as a
metric for analysis and ranking process of various educational institutions.

Lack of proper guidance and resources over time has made it difficult for graduate students and young
researcher scholars to properly organize and structure their ideas and knowledge in paper for acceptance and
finally to publications. This workshop aims to fill the gap of writing and publishing effective research papers.

Objectives of the Workshop

To prepare an effective research paper for publication in a scientific well indexed journal or other professional
publications.

To prepare research scholars to write an effective and possibly award-winning paper that will communicate
innovative findings with the community in a clear and organized manner.
