IEEE Author Workshop - Virtual for SFIT Faculties

 

Over this time, we have come to understand that being an early career researcher is difficult with the challenges of getting your research getting published in the right journal at the right time. To help all our faculties overcome this hurdle and aid them in their journey to Ph.D., the Learning and Information Resource Centre (Central Library) and Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of St. Francis Institute of Technology in collaboration with IEEE had organized a Virtual Workshop for Authors.

The workshop covered the following topics:
. Benefits of getting published with IEEE
· Select the right Journal or Conference for your manuscript
· What editors look into your manuscript
· Why editors and reviewers reject papers
· Paper structure and organization
· Ethics and avoiding misconduct pitfalls
· Free tools available on Authorship from IEEE

The Session concluded with an Interactive Quiz to test the knowledge and understanding of the participants.

The winners are Chinmayee Bhange (Librarian), Dr. Anjali Chaudhari (ExTC) and Mr. Rajkumar Shende (CMPN). Many Congratulations!!
