Helping Scientists to Write, Publish and Present
Despite the emphasis on publishing in high-impact-factor journals, researchers in India have few opportunities to learn the technique of writing research papers, especially for the more prestigious journals. An effort to create such opportunities is described, drawing upon the experience of conducting training programmes on publishing skills for researchers in more than 30 institutes and universities in India and the Middle East over the past 15 years. Suggestions are also offered on participants, ideal faculty, and contents of such programmes.
