Research ď ľ Is

exploration combined with learning.

ď ľA

"detailed study of a subject in order to discover information or achieve a new understanding of it."

A

process of searching, discovering, and investigating information, as well as collecting, interpreting, and evaluating the information you find.

R E S E A R C H

Research

= expansion of knowledge + inquiry and investigation aimed at the discovery of facts, theories, or laws.

S U R V I V O

r Tip

To

be a successful researcher, you need to develop knowledge and skills in information literacy and research and build upon these skills year after year.

I N F O R M A T I O N LITERACY

One

must know how to apply the tools and techniques for finding, evaluating, and using information effectively

WHY do R E S E A R C H

about issues, and methods in chosen fields.

 Sharpening

skills.

 Learn

CHALLENGES in PUBLICATION

•Journal publication

is a

process that entails close coordination between human resources and technology.

CHALLENGES in PUBLICATION

1.The knowledge and skills of the workers should be optimized to get a wide array of publication jobs done no matter the cost.

CHALLENGES in PUBLICATION

2.The technology that the publication office needs to upgrade should be given due consideration.

CHALLENGES in PUBLICATION

3. This is a revolutionary concept that also requires establishing and updating quality standards.

QUALITY ASSURANCE The authors are advised to subject their paper to plagiarism detection, grammar checker, and readability prior to submission since quality assurance begins with the writer.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

ď ľ The

Editorial Board of each journal prefers scientists who, on their own, initiate the sanitizing part of scientific writing.

Standards for Submission C R I T E R I O N

#1. Scope, Newness and Relevance/ Applicability to International Community

Standards for Submission S T A N D A R D S

The scope (extent of what one intends to cover) of the study is wideranging. The aspects of the paper such as, but not limited to, methods and results are seemingly new. The entire paper is interesting to read by other nations.

Standards for Submission S T A N D A R D S

The research results have international character and applicability. The quality of academic writing reflects the nature and nuances of the discipline. The quality of academic writing is graduate level.

Standards for Submission C R I T E R I O N

#2: Results of Plagiarism, Grammar and Readability Check

Standards for Submission S T A N D A R D

The manuscript obtains the minimum result: plagiarism detection – 95%; grammar check – 90%.

Standards for Submission C R I T E R I O N

#3: Quality of References

Standards for Submission S T A N D A R D S

ď ąSources (journals, books, and other references) are traceable online unless otherwise a justification is made. ď ąJournals are internationally refereed and indexed.

Standards for Submission S T A N D A R D S

ď ąArticles on Wikis and gray literature (non-scientific sources) must be avoided. ď ąScientific sources cited were published preferably in Year 2010 onwards unless otherwise a justification is given.
