Publishing Workshop

As part of the RU Committee initiative, a one-day workshop on Publishing in Indexed Journals was organised by IlQAM today. A total of 138 aspiring participants came for the workshop. In fact the workshop is counted as part of their CPD point. The hall was full with enthusiastic participants and it was indeed a heartwarming feeling. Congratulations to all those who have registered and came for the workshop.
The workshop was divided into three sections: Section One was facilitated by Prof Dr Szarina who spoke in details on Strategies on Increasing Citation rates and Impact Factors. As a second facilitator, Prof Dr Normah spoke on the Why and How to Publish in Indexed Journals. The final speaker, Ms Khasiah deliberated on services and resources provided by the university library PTAR.
In a nutshell, the workshop should have been able to provide awareness and knowledge on what constitutes indexed journals, why we need to publish in them, how can we publish our articles in there and what support facilities are available at the university. What is next? In the words by Nike: JUST DO IT
