Background

As a Lecturer or Academia, our research work needs to be captured and published in any journal as a sharing of knowledge for other scholars in the same field. Publishing your work with others will create a healthy environment in the research world. Sharing info and experience will create more knowledge growth in a particular field.

Although there are many exceptions where author’s guideline was not clearly defined. In this webinar, we shall provide all of you an insight on how to write and compile effective research article based on your project or innovation work done and publish them in a high impact factor journal.
