Abstract

Academic publishing is a requirement for almost all academic position-holders if the contract/agreement has clear terms and conditions of employment where research outputs are regarded as an essential performance index. Therefore, professional development and career advancement in tertiary education are closely linked to research publications. However, many young scholars, including postgraduate students, are not sure which journals they should look for possible publication of their research. More significantly, they are not familiar with manuscript submission procedures, editorial decision-making processes and the technicalities of completing the submission and revision for final publishing, not to mention that they do not know how to respond to reviewer recommendations and editor decisions. Come and join Professor Zhang, who will share his first-hand knowledge and experiences as an author, editor and reviewer of leading international, SSCI/AHCI journals in our field.
