In February and March, the Library arranged three seminars about how to write and publish quality articles.  On the 12th of February, Ms Rachel Barrington, Director of IEEE Client Services, shared with us How to write a Quality Technical Paper and Where to Publish within IEEE.  She talked about the new contents added to IEEE Xplore, the tips for smart searching & how to make use of IEEE Xplore contents for research.

 

Then on the 12th of March, IOP's Editorial Director, Ms Nicola Gulley let you know about Publishing your Research with IOP – navigating the changing environment.  She covered many topics such as how to respond to the referees' reports, the different options for publishing (subscription and open access), questions to ask of your co-authors and the ethical issues.  Furthermore, a Putonghua workshop was held on how to write and publish journal papers「怎樣撰寫和發表期刊論文」on the 24th of March.  Professor Tongxi Yu, Professor Emeritus and Senior Advisor to the VP-RG, HKUST, shared with our researchers about the main ingredients in preparing journal papers, including selecting the right journal and paper type, language usage, manuscript structure, as well as a few most critical points which require special attention.  Hopefully you didn't miss it.

 

The Library regularly organizes seminars for HKUST researchers.  Most of the presentation files and videos of the seminars are available on the Scholarly Communications @ HKUST Seminars webpage at http://lbcone.ust.hk/sc-sem/
