Prof. Sumit Kane - Head of the Social and Cultural Aspects of Health Systems research group, Nossal Institute for Global Health, University of Melbourne shared his joy at once again visiting and working at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
According to Professor Sumit Kane, academic writing and publishing are key tasks in the life of a scientific researcher, and writing and publishing are essential for academic development. However, scholars, especially new researchers, are facing increasing pressure to promote scientific publications and publish in high-impact journals, typically international journals. Therefore, writing and publishing can both create a sense of professional satisfaction, but at the same time can also discourage researchers.
Prof. Sumit Kane also shared his personal experience of international publication, the dos and don'ts of approaching academic writing, the pitfalls and risks, as well as approaching the publishing process and guiding prevention techniques through practical examples.
