4. PART 1 – RUDIMENTS

5. Why Publish??? A RESEARCH WORK DOES NOT BELONG TO THE SHELVES; IT HAS TO BE PUBLISHED FOR THE PUBLIC’S SAKE NEW KNOWLEDGE BEGINS WHEN THE PUBLIC OWNS THE RESEARCH WORK NEW KNOWLEDGE IS THE AUTHOR’S MASTERPIECE OF A LIFETIME GLOBALIZATION: ACCREDITATION

6. Five Key Pointers to Publishing Successfully 1. KNOW THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN YOUR FIELD 2. RECOGNIZE THAT SCIENTIFIC CONTENT IS THE ULTIMATE CRITERION 3. VIEW PUBLICATION AS INTEGRAL TO RESEARCH 4. DEVELOP A CLEAR WRITING STYLE 5. LEARN ABOUT THE PEER-REVIEW PROCESS

7. 1. Know the state-of-the-art (4) FAMILIARITY WITH RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE LITERATURE RECENTLY-PUBLISHED WORKS AS BENCHMARKS FOR OWN RESEARCH STATED OR IMPLIED RESEARCH GAPS AS BASES FOR RESEARCH CONCEPT YOUR READERS AND REVIEWERS COMPRISE YOUR “ RESEARCH COMMUNITY ”

8. 2. Scientific content is the key criterion (3) PRESENTATION CLARITY IS A NECESSARY, NOT A SUFFICIENT, CONDITION DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY IS IRRELEVANT WORK’S NOVEL ASPECTS MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND EMPHASIZED IN THE MANUSCRIPTS

9. 3. Publication is integral to research (3) PUBLICATION OUTPUT IN JOURNALS IS A KEY MEASURE OF RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY BASIC RESEARCH IS CONCEPTUALIZED WITH A VIEW TO EVENTUAL PUBLICATION DECISION ON RESEARCH DIRECTIONS (e.g. PROJECT OR A GRADUATE THESIS) SHOULD TAKE PUBLISHABILITY INTO ACCOUNT

10. 4. Clear writing style (3) KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE ADAPT THE STYLE CONVENTIONS USED IN YOUR DISCIPLINE: OVER-ALL ORGANIZATION, LINGUISTIC STYLE, TABLES, FIGURES, AND EQUATIONS PAY ATTENTION TO STYLES SPECIFIC TO JOURNALS THAT YOU READ REGULARLY, OR PLAN TO SUBMIT TO

11. 5. Peer-review process (4) THE PEER-REVIEW SYSTEM PROVIDES IMPERFECT QUALITY CONTROL, BUT IT’S THE BEST SYSTEM THERE IS ON THE AVERAGE, THE PERSON WHO REVIEWS YOUR WORK WILL BE JUST AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS YOU ARE, BUT MAY HAVE INHERENT BIASES BE ABLE TO ANTICIPATE POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT MAY BE RAISED DURING PEER REVIEW COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS IN YOUR FIELD

12. Seven Essential Skills ORGANIZING A PAPER CHOOSING THE RIGHT WORDS OUTLINING KEY ARGUMENTS PRESENTING DATA SUMMARIZING WRITING A GOOD COVER LETTER RESPONDING TO REVIEWS

13. Integration QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH THE RESEARCH COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP PROPER: SELECTION OF JOURNALS e.g. ISI-INDEXED, SCOPUS ( www.scopus.com , www.elsevier.com) DRAFTING AND REVISION OF MANUSCRIPT
