During the workshop, he highlighted the need to find a narrow research field and conduct a research on that particular field before writing a research paper. He emphasized about the tools required to conduct a research. He gave an insight into the different ways of finding research ideas; either by reading recent research papers from good quality journals, reading recent technical magazines from the reputed publisher or discussions with colleagues & industry experts. He also focused on the reasons why a paper gets rejected based on title, abstract, conclusions etc. He also spoke about the different components to be included in a research paper and threw light into each section of the research paper. He concluded his talk by suggesting publishing less but quality paper in SCI & Scopus Indexed journals.
