Latest Circular from the Vice Chancellor

Hope all ARI members took notice of VC's latest circular today. Basically, with immediate effect, (1) all publications by staff and students must spell out their affiliation with Universiti Teknologi MARA. This includes staff who are now post graduate students and are registered with other universities; (2) The university will only sponsor papers presented by staff and post-graduate students in Scopus or ISI Thomson-indexed conferences; (3) Those who are organizing international conferences for the university must register and index their conferences with Scopus or ISI-Thomson; (4)Those under sabbatical leave are to publish their papers in Scopus or ISI journals. Understandably, this drastic policy has to be put in place so that we are focused on producing articles that are ultimately published in indexed journals and indexed proceedings.
