Introduction
Getting published is considered a great achievement. It is considered to be the surest tool for landing the desired job and career progression. It is the best way of getting international recognition and many people have entered international job markets on the basis of their internationally published research. In recent years academia planning department has also placed research in universities as its priority number one. Faculty hiring, promotions. Survival and growth in academic profession is now mainly dependent on research output. Similarly for Ph.D students, publication of a research paper is mandatory for award of Ph.D degree. However, despite growing concern by universities and faculty members to get more research publications, very few people know the exact methodology, pattern and format for developing a research paper that can meet the requirements of international journals. Resultantly most of research papers are not published by international journals. This workshop is intended to discuss basic format of a research paper which can be published in international journals. By focusing on key areas the workshop will enable participants to develop skills for writing a publishable research paper. The resource persons for this workshop have a proven record of publication in well reputed international journals. They also have an exposure of attending research conferences in various parts of the world.
