Ramesh’s tips on publishing

Posted on April 21, 2012 by krichter99

Ramesh gave us some concise tips on how to be productive in publishing papers in journals:

• Make sure that every paper you write is a publishable paper. When you have a term paper assigned, choose a unique topic and write the paper in journal article style.
• Choosing the title of the paper and defining the objectives is very important.
• When reviewing research from other countries, think about whether it would be a good topic for your own country, and see if there is similar data available.
• Use your own university or workplace as a survey site.
• Learn from your reviews and use them to improve your paper. If the paper is rejected, be persistent: keep improving and re-submitting to another journal.
• Don’t sleep, or if you do sleep, think about your papers in your sleep.
• Publishing should be a priority in your professional life. It’s easy to let other job or study responsibilities take up all your time, but if you keep publishing it will put you ahead in your career.
