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.

Bangkok is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometers (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a population of over 8 million, or 12.6 percent of the country’s population. Over 14 million people (22.2 percent) live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making Bangkok an extreme primate city, dwarfing Thailand’s other urban centers in terms of importance.

The Asian investment boom in the 1980s and 1990s led many multinational corporations to locate their regional headquarters in Bangkok. The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and has emerged as a regional center for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city is well known for its vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Bangkok is among the world’s top tourist destinations. It is named the most visited city in MasterCard’s Global Destination Cities Index, and was named “World’s Best City” for four consecutive years by Travel + Leisure magazine.

It experiences three seasons, hot, rainy and cool, although temperatures are fairly hot year-round, ranging from an average low of 22.0 °C (71.6 °F) in December to an average high of 35.4 °C (95.7 °F) in April. The rainy season begins with the arrival of the southwest monsoon around mid-May. September is the wettest month, with an average rainfall of 334.3 millimeters (13.16 in). The rainy season lasts until October, when the dry and cool northeast monsoon takes over until February. The hot season is generally dry, but also sees occasional summer storms.
