Prof Henrick Rudoplph, the Editor in Chief of Applied Surface Science Journal (Elsevier) delivered a talk on “How to successfully contribute to the world of Scientific publication: A guide for the aspiring author” on February 2, 2024. The event took place in the Seminar Hall of School of Engineering Science and Technology and was presided over by Prof. Samrat L Sabat, Director of the R&D Cell. The Research & Development Cell (RDC) and Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) collaborated to host the talk on campus.
During his lecture, Prof Rudolph provided insights into the publication cycle including the journal metrics and how to select appropriate journal of the work. He explained the different steps and order in writing a high impact scientific manuscript. He also emphasised on the need of Research for sustainability.
