Description
Over the last decade,  the expectation for publishing research papers has increased significantly in  academia, in professional communities, and in science and technology  disciplines worldwide.In  scientific fields (especially in academia), both graduate students and faculty  are expected to publish the results of their research work in journals and  conference proceedings.  Publication of  research or journal papers has also become a key measure for tenure and  promotion assessments.  In fact, U.S.  News, National Research council, and other external organizations often consider publications as a  critical metric in their analysis and ranking of programs and institutions. An increasing number of highly ranked universities, worldwide, now require publication of papers in SCI indexed journals as a per-requisite to receive a doctoral degree. Unfortunately,  despite the widespread standard of writing and publishing research papers, most  Universities don’t offer any formal training or mentorship on how to write  effective papers.  The lack of guidance  and resources has made it difficult, and at times frustrating, for graduate  students and young researchers to properly organize and structure their papers  for acceptance into publications. Whether you  are a graduate student, conducting research, working towards a tenure, or you  would like to advance your professional career in science, technology or  academia, you will find this course greatly helpful.  You will no longer have to struggle or spend  countless hours figuring out how to start your research paper, only to have it  turn out not as good as you hoped. If you are a  beginner, you can simply follow along with the easy steps outlining each  section of your paper; even if you are more experienced, you may be surprised  at how much you can improve your research writing technique from the strategies  and examples presented in the course videos.This “Writing Research Papers: How to Write  Research Paper Effectively” course will provide you with the valuable research  guidance from a scholar with over 36 years of experience in research and  teaching in higher education.
