One Day National Workshop on How to Write Effective Research Papers for Conferences and Journals and Project Proposals for Funding Agencies 2018

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.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the workshop is to enlighten the participants on the ways and means of choosing a setting for research, starting it, completing it and documenting it effectively. It aims at enabling the participants to write effective research papers and project proposals on their own.
