The
Department of Business Administration successfully organized a workshop on
"Essential Tips for Publication in High Impact Journals" on July
26th, 2023, at 11 am. The Chief Guest for the event was Professor Dr. Abdul
Mannan Choudhury, Vice Chancellor of the World University of Bangladesh. We were
also honored to have Professor Dr. M. Nurul Islam, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the
Word University of Bangladesh, as the Special Guest.
The
workshop featured Dr. Mahfuzur Rahman, Associate Professor of International
Business at Lincoln University, United Kingdom, as the keynote speaker. Dr.
Mahfuz presented invaluable insights on the essential aspects of publishing in
high-impact journals.
During
the workshop, the keynote speaker shared essential tips for achieving success
in publishing high-impact research papers. He emphasized the significance of
selecting appropriate measurement scales based on the research context and its
impact. As researchers, we must demonstrate sincerity, honesty, a willingness
to share knowledge, and the ability to accept major revisions and potential
challenges in collaborating with co-authors. Consistency and commitment were
also highlighted as key traits for successful researchers.
The
keynote speakers provided valuable guidance on identifying reputable sources
for gathering research ideas and developing a strong research topic. It was
emphasized that a research article's acceptance in a high impact journal is
greatly enhanced when it contributes significantly to the theoretical,
methodological, and practical aspects of the field.
The
keynote speaker also emphasized considering the ethical issues while writing a
research article. In this aspect, he suggested having an ethical committee and
seeking approval from it, as well as obtaining a no-objection consent from the
participants who provide data for the research. He stressed the importance of
focusing on a specific area rather than adopting a broad perspective when
selecting a research topic.
