Abstract:
Rather than being considered as an activity separate from research itself, writing a good paper provides a framework for developing the rationale of meaningful scientific inquiry. It is an inherent part of research, through which the researcher is able to locate his/her work in the broader context of the literature, identify a goal or hypothesis, develop and describe the necessary methodology, and finally interpret findings in coherent manner. Thus, a good journal article is a reflection of the researchers thought processes. This workshop consists of the following two parts.
Part 1 – Some common practices in journal editorial will be shared, based on the presenter’s experiences serving as Chief Editor, Subject Editor and Guest Editors in various international journals.
Part 2 – effective ways to write up key parts of a journal paper will be shared, with emphasis on the aspects that are common to effective scientific articles.
