In Brief The UGC suggests that two research paper is compulsory for any candidate who undergoes PhD. However, new norms are arising now and then to consider the old rules in research papers. However, the scenario is entirely different when it comes to public health candidates. Public health is allabout communication and information. Public health pupils should be highly skilled when it comes to writing research articles.

Introduction As per the UGC, PhD pupils have to submit at least one research paper in a refereed journal and make two paper displays in conferences/seminars previously than the submission of the dissertation/thesis for adjudication. The UGC constituted a committee of science and humanities researchers to investigate this necessity. The new committee established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) endorsed that it should not be mandatory for doctoral students to write journal articles while writing their dissertations to earn their doctorates. If the suggestion of a four-member committee headed by Prof. P. Balaram is conventional through the University Grants Commission (UGC), putting up a paper in a peer-reviewed journal before he/she is awarded the degree will no longer be compulsory for any PhD student in India.

Peer-Reviewed Journals The publication provision has led to a proliferation of poor-quality journals promising to submit papers for a fee shortly, without providing incentives such as alteration and peer review. Many scientists around the world claim that doing away with the necessity for publication will not take away low-quality work. The presentation of a substandard thesis could be handled by a biased selection committee while requiring a publication usually guarantees at least some peer review outside. Articles in peer-reviewed journals are an exact way of evaluating postdoctoral candidates.

Writing Articles in Public Health Public health communication issues are as varied as the populations with whom clinicians interact. Initially, college students depend on some writing policies being standardized, such as the criteria needed for a literature evaluation or a prerequisite for language formality. From high-level academies to public service departments, to the general public, this central role of writing in public health capacity must be fine and understandable. The health problems the world faces are far too severe for writing about public health to be politically reticent and open solely to experts. The writing in public health needs to be effective in all the respects that language can be powerful — technically, rhetorically, and specifically.

Writing-to-Learn & Learning to Write- Process The writing-to-learn strategy commonly includes much less formal and shorter low-stakes writing assignments, emphasizing that the method is extra important than the cease product. Writing to study presents college student's possibilities for self-reflection or examination of how their experiences are related to new understanding and allows them to integrate new statistics into their understanding. The learning-to-write process emphasizes the inclusion of discipline-specific record types so that students get to know what kind of writing to use in various social contexts. If writing is incorporated across a program, and college apprehends the complexities of writing-tolearn and learning-to-write, they can better include writing to do stuff in their teaching.

Future Scopes Implementing research and publishing outcomes is indispensable for a career in sciences. Publications can also be viewed as an asset that permits authors to attain attention and acknowledgement as professionals in a unique area at national and international levels. Publication in peer-reviewed journals also gives worldwide cognizance for an individual, department, university, and institution. The adage "Publish or Perish" among researchers is a threatening reminder of the importance of printing.

Conclusion

Scientific reporting is an essential part of practice in public health. Young public health leaders, including those from the developing world with limited access to peer-reviewed journals, must be inspired to start writing early and senior practitioners, public health organizations and agencies, and journal editors serve as model roles and provide ongoing support.
