What, Why, Who andHow about Publications ?? Have you ever heard about anyone publishing his work ?

In fact its the goal of each scholar in any field whether technology or

management is to publish, its the sole way of contributing to the field Is it like only MS / Phd students only publish their work ?

Generally UG students under-estimate the importance of publishing isthe reason we see less publication from their side

Who can publish ?

Absolutely anyone from any background can publish his idea, there isno constrains in this matter. You dont need anyone (Profs, Scientistor Member), all you need is an idea


4/25

Publication Its Relation with youyour Research career Publishing you work in a peer reviewed conference or Journal

is known as research publications

Its the requirement for a PHD to have couple of papers in thetop 10 Journals of his subject (of course no in our State)

Research results are published so the scientific communitybenefit from it and we can move forward in the area

The quality of publication reflects the quality of research so its

a kind of benchmark

Its the way Science and Technology develop ex Einsteinpublished his work on Relativity in the top Journals of his age

Formal & informal definitions (just google....)


5/25

Relation of Publication toScholarship Funding is given for research projects in top

universities which publishes a part of result inthe best Journals

Endowment for the top 10 Universities is on anaverage 8 Billion $ which it invest in research

infrastructure and development Example NNI National Nanotechnology

Initiative of US seeds major universities grant todo R&D in Nanotech


6/25

Funding : A Global Scenario

Each professor who receives grant has to submit ayearly report of the results he get and publishes it

in the top 10 Journals, so this is a matter ofimportance for him (try to understand his needs)

Research Assistantships can vary for 500 to 1800$in US which is the most easy and profitable parttime (best value for time)

Thus to have some knowledge about ResearchPublication would benefit you the most


7/25

Publication and Rankingof a University Publicati0n is one of the main criteria of University

Ranking and thus it focuses a lot on Research

Grants ($$$) that a University Gets is based on thenumber and quality of publications

Publication attracts more private-universitycollaborations for solving the industrial problems ($$$)

Ranking also depend on impact factor of the articlespublished (number of articles published / no. of timesthey re referred)

It gives fame and honor to the university, gives a global

repute as the articles are read all over the world


8/25

What to Publish Research vs. Survey

Either a Novel work or

a State of Art Survey which is better ?

You get equal credit for both

Research is contributing your new idea or a new solution of thecurrent problems

Survey papers covers the recent work which is from the majorquality peer reviewed literatures

As per the taste and style it matter: like Dravid makes it safe,Sehwag goes insane


9/25

Survey Papers-Keep these things in Mind Citation plays a very important role in a survey papers, you

need to properly cite the references

References should be latest and from the highest qualityjournals

Framing and design of paper plays an important role, sincethe idea is to give all the idea about recent work in the area

Proper citation of Formulas and results, with in depthcontent of the referred paper in the sweetest possible way


10/25

Referring and Citations

Cite fromNature and Science : the two bestjournals which reports informally the work going

on, they are kind of magazines Dont commit any formatting error, make the

paper very sleek

Choose the very right journal or conference to sendthe paper

Dont be too much slow, get things going from thepoint its practical to leave the paper..


11/25

How I did it, the ideal process ofmoving ahead How to search and gather quality literature:

Google vs. technical search(DLs)

Reading papers is the most important part in any research

State of art Literature Survey is a must and be very careful about references

Finding the future score from the papers

Step 1. Read Classical Books on the subject-may be two or three

Step 2. Read 50-100 Journal Papers

Step 3. Search for problem statements in the papers you read

Step 4. Make a proposal, Implement it and note the resultsStep 6. Frame the paper in correct formatting and submit for a conference or

journal

Where and When did I publish Time taken by me in recent publishing my article

CASTE STUDY

I wrote an article on Carbon Nanotube which was published inIEEE Xplore IEDST 2009 (Acceptance Rate 30%, Reg fee Rs 500/-)

Literature survey (Aug 08-Dec08)

Choosing the right conference, means it has registration fee 500/-and was a special international conference organized by Electron

Device Society of IEEE in IIT Bombay (Jan 09) Submitting the paper (Feb 09)

Acceptance (April 09), Conference date (June 09), Venue: IITB

Indexed in IEEE Xplore (August 09)

Total TTP = 1 year


13/25

Time Line for a Publication for aConference, Hurry up !!! Call for Papers 6 months before the conference

Submission dates 3 months before conference (submission)

Camera Ready Submission (CRC) and copyright transfer - 2 months before conference

Conference organized (Event occurs) Indexing in Online DL - 2 months post of Conference

Total time to get your paper in DLs is 8 months so start your work today !!!!


14/25

Where to publish ?Research Conferences & Journals IEEE / ACM Conferences or Sponsored Conference (Websites)

Who is publishing the proceedings, is it indexed online with

DOI, ISBN and other indexing services? Registration cost may vary from Rs 500 to Rs 20,000 (butboth solve the same purpose), so keep that point in mind


15/25

Website to Search for Conferences

Its take 2-3 month of review and 1 month to getthe proceedings to get to DL (for a conference),whereas for a journal it just the double

Where to search the conferences?

16/25

Advantages of Publication Advantages that you are going to get are many

Online indexing makes it easy for professor to know what you

worked in the project Your paper will be read by all researchers and it will get

citations to you work

You can attach a link of your home page or resume, so it looksauthentic

Your name comes in Google Scholar, and all indexing services

You get the patent kind of thing for your work so that you canclaim if someone uses that idea to publish


17/25

Digital Libraries - What are they ? They have all the papers published till date of the publishers, the

count is in millions Is that paper published by one of them ?

Find that out and then decide, because you send multiple entries The four largest DLs of the world are:-IEEE Xplore (Worlds Biggest for articles)

ACM DL (Worlds oldest)Springer-Link ( World largest Book publisher)Science Direct (Worlds Largest Journals Publisher)

(covers 80% of the literature) Advantages like Global Coverage, Citation and easy to manage online

makes DLs the most important feature for a Publisher


18/25

Terms often used in ResearchCommunity ISSN (Journal, used for anything that is period

sometimes used for conferences also)

ISBN (Book) DOI (Digital Object identifier, for any document which is

online)

Indexing Services (Indexes paper from all places,

example: google scholar) Impact Factor (number of paper cited / total number of

papers)

TTP (Time to publish, for a conference its between 5-8

months whereas for a journal it is over 12 months)


19/25

Myths Just be careful not getcarried away All International Conference have high registration feeRegistration may vary from 500 20,000 All international conferences have paper published with IBSN and

DOIIts not true in fact 80% conference in India dont I have to have a detailed paper over 6000 words to get selected?No, you may send papers in category of small, normal or poster All international conferences are of the same qualityNo, anyone can organize and international conference All conferences of abroad are good whereas any conferences in

India is not so good No, it depends on who is publishing the proceedings


20/25

Process for Sure shot Rapid Publication

Things to do for the next month if I want to get rapid publication

Choosing the right conference, means in case you want to get the jobcheaply then see the registration

Deciding the length of the paper (2000-6000 words)

Analyzing TTP for a conference (TTP = time to publish)

Work in a team so that things go fast (Team work helps)

Talk to the experts about the value of the conference

Dont make paper over detailed or over long and waste time The number of people sending entries and the acceptance rate of the

conference (Acceptance 20- 70%) matters

Examples of Papers IEEE Xplore &

Springer-Link DLs
