Optimised Academic and Research Writing and understanding trends in publications
The research landscape becomes more complex, and the text of research publications
contains a higher density of information. Publishing a complex paper is not straightforward; it
involves processing extensive data and multi-stage performance evaluation. Creating
powerful, meaningful, semantically rich, and conceptually sound writing is challenging in the
academic and research world. Peer-reviewed high-level journals reject many papers.
There is widespread discussion in the academic environment about research quality.
Concepts such as ‘reviewed research’ and ‘reviewed publications’ are gaining momentum.
Only reviewed and indexed research pieces qualify for universities' ratings.
The performance and standing of institutions are measured by the number of reviewed and
indexed research papers in global databases. Thus, it is essential to bring many ‘reviewed’
research papers from Indian institutions. High-quality publication output is necessary to
maintain a good ranking and foster a high-level scholarly environment in the country.
Publications reflect the character of innovative research and serve as a yardstick to measure
the research contributions and impact on individuals, institutions, or nations. Agencies and
institutions practically use the impact of research publications in deciding on funding, tenure,
promotion, and other related activities.
Publications are practically used as an indicator to measure the quantity of research output.
Publications indexed in databases such as Scopus and Clarivate Analytics are considered to
be global-level publications. A large number of Indian papers are not accepted in ranked
journals, as many researchers lack an understanding of how to produce better content.
Publishing papers in peer-reviewed and internationally indexed journals is increasingly
essential, as it enhances researchers' visibility, acceptance, and academic profile. This is
also crucial for the ranking of institutions. There is a need to understand the following
processes.
- The ways of producing good research and writing eminent papers
- Gain exposure to creating new approaches and solving research problems
- Understanding the ingredients of a good paper
- The characteristics of good scientific reporting
- The approaches to learning a good model
- The content of good research, good review and revision
These issues can be explained to Indian academic researchers, particularly the young ones.
Focusing the researchers on such topics will be possible by orienting them in training
sessions. A training workshop can be a means to implement this plan. The following themes
will be more purposeful.
- How to produce qualitative research publications?
- How do you reflect on the research carried out through the publication?
- What are the measures for research impact?
- What is the best way to disseminate research?
- How to structure the research publication?
- How to assess the reviewed publication?
- How to assess the reviewed publication?
- What is indexed research?
- How to produce an error-free write-up?
- How do you integrate the research into global review and indexing?
- How do you increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity?
This training workshop will cover research writing, including idea generation for research, data management, research design, data processing, interpretation, and writing research papers. Many live examples support the presentation. A few core issues, such as information density, cognitive and semantic-rich content, referencing and citation patterns, phrase banks, task sharing through co-evolution, and several other components, will be addressed. Another crucial issue is that AI tools for writing will be covered with a focus on when to use and not to use them.
