SYNOPSIS

The dissemination of knowledge obtained from a scientist's research is generally conducted through the writing of journal articles and conference proceedings. Nowadays, there is a clamour in universities & industry to write research articles for publication in high-impact journals or Q1 journals in ISI parlance. In this seminar, I will give a brief methodology based on my experiences on how to write papers to be accepted in Q1 journals. Particularly, I will share my philosophy on conducting research and methodology for writing high-impact factor research articles. The review process typically undergone by journal papers submitted to Q1-type journals will also be discussed.
