International
Seminar on Research Impact, Publishing & Profiling
KLA Ernakulam
Region and the School of Marine Sciences, Cochin University of Science and
Technology, Kochi-16, jointly organizing a one day International Seminar on
Research Impact, Publishing & Profiling on 3rd January 2014 at School of
Marine Sciences, Lakeside Campus of Cochin University of Science and
Technology, Near Fine Arts Hall, Ernakulam, Kochi-16
About the
Seminar
The concepts of
“quality in research”, “reviewed research” and “reviewed publications” are
discussed widely and we understand that only reviewed and indexed research
pieces qualify for the ratings and rankings of Universities and Institutions.
It becomes essential to bring a large number of ‘reviewed’ research papers from
Indian institutions, not only just to keep a good ranking, but also to ensure a
high level scholarly environment in the country. As a yardstick to measure the
research contributions and research impact of individuals, research
publications reflect the character of the innovative research, and it is
critically looked by agencies and institutions in deciding funding, tenures,
promotion and other related activities.
More
specifically, the publications indexed in the databases such as Scopus and ISI
Web of Science are considered in the global level, where a large number of
Indian papers are not accepted in ranked journals and many researchers do not
gain an understanding of producing better content. Publishing the papers in
peer-reviewed and internationally indexed journals is increasingly important,
which will increase researchers’ index and wide acceptance and academic
profiling. This is also very important for the ranking of the institutions and
the country. Through this seminar, we are trying to explain these issues.
This seminar
will address research publication process, global research network,
optimization of research publication, structuring of research publications,
review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications,
demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other
citation and evaluation metrics. The seminar will have presentations by
experts, illustrations and discussions. The seminar will also have an exclusive
session with interaction and discussions on ‘academic profiling with research
publications and citation metrics’.
Who can
participate?
This seminar is
mainly intended for young researchers, academicians & scientists from
Colleges, Universities, Research Laboratories and Scientific Agencies.
Interested administrators and librarians can also participate.
