Workshop on Scholarly Publications

Dissemination of research findings is an essential part of the scientific research process.  Hence, it is of utmost importance for a researcher who is writing a full paper with the aim of publishing in a reputable journal or in a reputable proceeding.  Furthermore, getting a paper published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal or proceeding is an important milestone for researchers.

Through the publication workshop we intend to disseminate knowledge on writing scientific papers and scholarly publications to assist future researchers.  All conference participants are welcome to participate in this workshop.

ICOAH’s keynote Dr. Grace Chin will conduct a scholarly writing workshop, providing tips, structures, and conventions in writing for academic publishing in English.

The workshop will consider some of the following questions:

• What is publishable? How to search for and select academic peer reviewed journals? What are other forms of academic publishing?
• How to present your research endeavours with precision and efficiency?
• What are some ethical considerations of academic writing?
• How to organize your writing? How much literature review and methodology to include? What language/tone should you use? Among others.

Conference chair Dr. Eldad Tsabary will provide additional guidance on publication of research-creation.
