This document provides guidance on publishing a journal article. It discusses the common structure of journal articles, including sections like the abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, acknowledgments, and references. Key points covered include the purpose of each section, what information should be included, appropriate word counts and formatting. The document also reviews the overall process of publishing, including initial submission, peer review, responding to reviewer feedback, proofreading, and celebrating once published. The intended audience appears to be researchers or students looking to publish their first academic article.
As a researcher, you are expected to start publishing early in your career. But original research could take years to complete! This does not mean you that you cannot publish a paper until you complete your research. You can disseminate your research in many other ways. These slides will help you learn more about the different types of scholarly literature so that you are able to choose the most suitable format for publishing your study.

Digital strategies to find the right journal for publishing your researchSC CTSI at USC and CHLA
Date: Apr 3, 2019
Speaker: Duncan Nicholas, Former Development Editor at international academic publisher Taylor and Francis Group, and now Director of DN Journals research publishing consultancy, and Senior Consultant for Enago Academy.
Overview: This webinar will provide an overview of digital tools and initiatives that help researchers select the right journal for their manuscript to ensure the best chance of article acceptance.
Scientific writing is not just writing about science; it is the technical writing that scientists do to communicate their research to others. Scientific writing is predicated on the rigors of scientific inquiry, so it must reflect the same precision as that demanded in the research process.

Research Paper Guidelines
Understanding the process that undergirds principles of research is a primary objective for this course. This project includes a thorough review of literature related the Counseling field. This project should include (1) a title page; (2) an abstract; (3) an introduction to the paper; (4) the review of literature; (5) a methods section; (6) a complete list of references used.
The paper that you will submit should be organized to carefully review research done on a particular topic of your choosing. In the review of literature, you will find it easier and more consistent to use the past tense when describing studies because they have already been completed. Therefore, you should write in the past tense for a scholarly audience, and should use clear and short sentences that generally avoid the use of personal pronouns (e.g., “I”). APA guidelines specify that your manuscript should be double spaced throughout, left justified (with regular “ragged right” margins), and margins should be set to 1 inch on all sides. Please check the Publication Manual of the APA.
Structure of the Paper
Title Page
Title. The title should summarize the main idea of the paper and include the main topic and actual theoretical issue investigated. Good titles are short (< 20 words) and would serve as a type of index of the main issues covered, including the nature of the tasks, participants, or other important variables. Type the title centered, in upper and lower cases, double-spaced.
Running head. Each page of your manuscript has a brief “title” (running head) printed in the upper right hand corner of the manuscript. It should be a maximum of 50 characters, and be followed by the specific page number for that page. A notation as to the specific Running head should be located in all caps, flush left at the top of the title page. For example, on your title page you would show (in the upper left hand corner):
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL
On every subsequent page the running head would be right-justified with the page number. [Note: your running head would specify the content of your selected review] For example:
Research Proposal: - 2
Abstract
(This is your section header; centered on the page)
Page two is the Abstract for the paper. It is a brief (150-200 words) comprehensive summary of the research proposal. The Running head and the number 2 are typed in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The word “Abstract” is centered as the first line of type on this page. Type the abstract as a single paragraph in block format (i.e., without paragraph indentation). You may also want to list keywords from your paper in your abstract. To do this, center the text and type Keywords: (it ...

Scientific Writing should be fun. It is not for only science students but also for all the person who are associated with education or literature or any type of writing. For students also it is useful for paper writing. Dr. Daxaben N. Mehta
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Discussion:
How did you try to
What did you find?
What does it mean?
5. A More Complete View

6. Some Other Structures
Variants of IMRAD—for example, with
a literature review section after the introduction,
a combined results and discussion section, or
a conclusions section added
Essay-like format, with subheadings chosen by
the author
Other
What have you found to be the usual structure(s)
of journal articles in your research area?
7. The fewest possible words that adequately indicate the
contents of the paper
Important in literature searching
Should not include extra words
Should be specific enough
Generally should not include abbreviations
(Running title: short version of title—appears at tops of
pages)
Title NOT ALL CAPITALS, not underlined.
8. Those with important intellectual
contributions to the work
Often listed from greatest contributions to
least
In some fields, head of research group often is
listed last
In some fields, listed alphabetically
Important to list one’s name the same way on
every paper
9. The Abstract
An important part of the paper
Relatively widely read
Used to decide whether to read the rest of the paper
Gives editors, reviewers, others a first impression
Briefly summarizes the paper
Should be organized like the paper (for example, in
sort of a mini-IMRAD format)
In some fields, there are structured abstracts (with
standardized headings).
Structured Abstract, Words: approximately 250
11. Purposes of the Introduction
To provide background
In order to help readers understand the paper
In order to help readers appreciate the importance
of the research
To identify the question(s) the research
addressed
Sometimes stated as a hypothesis or hypotheses
12. Length of Introduction
Articles in some fields tend to have short
introductions (a few paragraphs or less)
Articles in some other fields tend to have long
introductions or to also include related
sections (for example, literature review,
theoretical framework)
What about introductions in your field?
13. Gearing the Introduction
to the Audience
Papers in relatively general journals:
Introduction must provide basic background
information.
Papers in specialized journals in your field:
Introduction can assume that readers have
more knowledge about the field.
14. Structure of the
Introduction
Introduction typically should be funnel-
shaped, moving from general to specific
A common structure:
Information on importance of topic
Highlights of relevant previous research
Identification of unanswered question(s)
Approach you used to seek the answer(s)
(In some fields) your main findings
16. Purposes of the Methods Section
To allow others to replicate what you did
In order to test it
In order to do further research
To allow others to evaluate what you did
To determine whether the conclusions seem valid
To determine whether the findings seem
applicable to other situations
17. Methods: Basic Information
to Include
In most cases, overview of study design
Identification of (if applicable)
Equipment, organisms, reagents, etc used (and
sources thereof)
Populations
Approval of human or animal research by an
appropriate committee
Statistical methods
18. Methods: Amount of Detail to
Use
For well-known methods: name of method,
citation of reference
For methods previously described but not
well known: brief description of method,
citation of reference
For methods that you yourself devise:
relatively detailed description
19. Methods: The Words and More
Should be written in past tense
In some journals, may include subheads
(which can help readers)
May include tables and figures—for example:
Flowcharts
Diagrams of apparatus
Tables of experimental conditions
20. A Suggestion
Look at the Methods sections of some papers in
your target journal. Use them as models.
22. The Results Section
The core of the paper
Often includes tables, figures, or both
Should summarize findings rather than
providing data in great detail
Should present results but not comment on
them
(Note: Some journals combine the Results
and the Discussion.)
23. Verb Tense for the Results
Section:
Past Tense
Examples:
A total of 417 of the customers replied.
_____ increased, but _____ decreased.
The average temperature was _____.
Three of the dogs died.
This difference was not statistically significant.
24. Results Sections of Papers
with Tables or Figures
How much should the information in the text
overlap that in the tables and figures?
Not extensive overlap
In general, text should present only the main
points from the tables and figures
Perhaps also include a few of the most important
data
Remember to mention each table or figure.
Do so as soon as readers might want to see it.
25. Mentioning Tables and Figures:
Some Writing Advice
In citing tables and figures, emphasize the
finding, not the table or figure.
Not so good: Table 3 shows that researchers who
attended the workshop published twice as many
papers per year.
Better: Researchers who attended the workshop
published twice as many papers per year (Table 3).
26. Tables: A Few Suggestions
Use tables only if text will not suffice.
Design tables to be understandable without
the text.
If a paper includes a series of tables, use the
same format for each.
Be sure to follow the instructions to authors.
27. Figures: A Few Suggestions
Use figures (graphs, diagrams, maps,
photographs, etc) only if they will help
convey your information.
Avoid including too much information in one
figure.
Make sure any lettering will be large enough
once published.
Follow the journal’s instructions.
29. Discussion
One of the more difficult parts to write,
because have more choice of what to say
Often should begin with a brief summary of
the main findings
Should answer the question(s) stated in the
introduction
Sometimes is followed by a conclusions
section
30. The Discussion:
Some Possible Content
Strengths of the study
For example, superior methods, extensive data
Limitations of the study
For example: small sample size, short follow-up,
incomplete data, possible sources of bias, problems
with experimental procedures
Better to mention limitations than for peer reviewers
and readers to think that you’re unaware of them
If the limitations seem unlikely to affect the
conclusions, can explain why
31. The Discussion:
Possible Content (cont)
Relationship to findings of other research—
for example:
Similarities to previous findings (your own,
others’, or both)
Differences from previous findings
Possible reasons for similarities and differences
32. The Discussion:
Possible Content (cont)
Applications and implications—for example:
Possible uses of the findings (in business, public
policy, agriculture, medicine, etc)
Relationship of the findings to theories or models:
Do the findings support them?
Do they refute them?
Do they suggest modifications?
33. The Discussion:
Possible Content (cont)
Other research needed—for example:
To address questions still unanswered
To address new questions raised by the findings
Other
34. The Discussion: Structure
Typically should move from specific to
general (opposite of introduction)
Beware of excessive length
35. Acknowledgments
The place to thank people who contributed to
the research but whose contributions don’t
qualify them for authorship
Obtain permission before listing people
Sometimes also the place to mention sources
of financial support
37. Functions of References
To give credit to others for their work
To add credibility to your work by showing
that you used valid information sources
To help show how your work relates to
previous work
To help readers find further information
38. References:
Importance of Accuracy
Studies show that many references are
inaccurate.
For references to fulfill their functions, they
must be accurate. Therefore
Make sure that you accurately state what the cited
material says.
Make sure that all information in the citation (for
example, author list, article title, journal title,
volume, year, pages) is accurate.
41. Before Submitting Your Paper
Make sure the abstract is consistent with the
rest of your paper.
Revise, revise, revise the paper.
Show the paper to other people, and revise it
some more.
Re-check the journal’s instructions to authors.
