Aims

The idea of writing a sustainable research paper or developing a topic of

research interest that can lead to a PhD / Doctorate degree or proposal is

always an endless thinking of where, when, why, what and who. Therefore,

becoming an experienced researcher and writer in any field or discipline takesa great deal of practice. This Keynote Lecture will highlights the possible

solutions in response to the lack of competence demonstrated by young

researchers and PhD / Doctorate students, and the understanding of what

contributes to knowledge gap.
