writing skills of research enthusiasts for possible international journal publications. It was presented during the international conference organized by the International Association of Humanities, Social Sciences & Management Researchers (HSSMR). It focused primarily on the basic principles and guidelines for writing a publishable research article for journal publication. It provided guidelines in writing the abstract and keywords, and the Introduction, Methodology, and Results and Discussion (IMRaD), as well as suggestions in writing conclusions and recommendations for future research.

I. INTRODUCTION Writing has always been regarded as an important component of the communication skill engineering students must acquire while in college. Writing for publication is considered essential to the advancement of engineering profession (Hasan, 2016). Getting your paper published can be a satisfying and rewarding experience. Writing and publishing in entails diligence and perseverance and can be just as difficult as the research itself (Thompson, 2015). As an author, your task is to present your research results in a form that can be used by other investigators. It is expected that publishable papers provide readers with new information or new ways to think about a topic (Sadiku, Musa, & Nelatury, 2018). The International Association of Humanities, Social Sciences & Management Researchers (HSSMR) is primarily dedicated to the research in Humanities, Social Sciences & Management. It promotes research by organizing conferences as well as workshops with the aim to bring together Researchers, Scientists, Professionals, Scholars and Students in the various areas of Humanities, Social Sciences & Management, and provides a forum for the dissemination of original research results, new ideas, Research and development, practical experiments, which concentrate on both theory and practices, for the benefit of society. We cordially welcome professors, Researchers and professional from Industry who want to join us or contribute. HSSMR is associated with Universal Researchers (UAE). Higher Education Institution (HEI) is the pathway to the empowerment of people and the development of nations.
Knowledge generation has replaced ownership of capita assets and labor productivity as the source of growth and prosperity. Innovation is seen as the melody for development. This realization is pervasive that nations are scrambling to create institutions and organizations that would facilitate the process of knowledge creation. Knowledge creation requires a network of scholars actively engaged in its pursuit because the search for the unknown is a product of engaged minds, and constantly challenging the known in an enabling environment. The modern university is the ideal space for the ecosystem of scholars to search for new ideas in a spirit of free inquiry. In human history, the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) has been one of the prodigious institutions that has emerged and endured. Its structure; however, has changed over the centuries. The primacy of research over teaching was solidified as evidenced by the research productivity within the university, with the quest for knowledge as an ongoing enterprise. The discernable aspect of the modern university was the provision of substantial funding to support research. The modern research university has also encouraged deep specializations structured around disciplines. Dividing knowledge into disciplines and fields provides depth of understanding in an increasingly complex world. However, a growing understanding has appeared that the problems of the 21st century require a holistic understanding of knowledge in various aspects. New knowledge materializes at the boundaries of existing disciplines; and crossfertilization of disciplinary understanding occurs in numerous ways. The necessity to relate research to the needs of society has also emerged as a dominant paradigm of the policy discourse in higher education (Sibal, 2011). Thus, world-class research universities are essential in developing a nation’s competitiveness in the global knowledge economy. These universities, at the pinnacle of the higher education hierarchy, play key roles in creating and disseminating knowledge, educating a highly skilled workforce for technological and intellectual leadership, and serving the needs of society (Altbach, 2009; Van der Wende, 2009). In the past few years, it can be argued that an increasing number of countries, regions and higher education institutions in different parts of the world have joined the same battle for academic excellence. This trend to create and enhance globally competitive universities can be traced not only in developed countries but also in developing ones. While emerging countries and their universities make every effort to enhance their capacity and to boost their research
