How to Write Effective Research Papers for Conferences and Journals and Project Proposals for Funding Agencies

PREAMBLE
Writing an effective paper either for a conference or
for a journal poses extensive hardships to the
enterprising researchers because it requires appropriate
contents, innovative ideas, experimentation, testing and
validation of results, implications for real time
applications, proper interpretation of the existing
studies, appropriate language and style which include
writing skills and better presentation. Similarly, many
innovative ideas are being documented in the form of
research proposals, but these ideas do not catch the
attention of the funding agencies as they lack an
effective conceptual framework of concrete ideas. The
one day national workshop on “How to Write Effective
Research Papers for Conferences and Journals & Project
Proposals for Funding Agencies” will provide a unique
experience of writing effective research papers and
project proposals to the participants which will lead
them ultimately to become successful researchers whose
research outcomes in the form of projects will benefit
the society and the nation as a whole.

effective research papers and project proposals on their
