Anatomy of a Good Journal Paper Workshop
A workshop entitled Anatomy of a Good Journal Paper was conducted by Dr Hon Loong Lam, an Associate Professor from the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering on Tuesday, 8th December 2015. In the workshop, Dr Lam discussed effective ways to write up key parts of a journal paper, with emphasis on the aspects that are common to effective journal publication regardless of discipline.
Rather than being considered as an activity separate from research itself, writing a good paper provides a framework for developing the rationale of meaningful research inquiry. It is an inherent part of research, through which the researcher is able to locate his/her work in the broader context of the literature, identify a goal or hypothesis, develop and describe the necessary methodology, and finally interpret findings in coherent manner. Thus, the anatomy of a good journal paper is a reflection of the researchers thought processes.
The workshop will be offered again in the future as it is part of the Researcher Development Programme (RDP) by the Graduate School. For any queries, please email us at graduateschool@nottingham.edu.my.
