This blog will help you step by step while writing the research content, curating and publishing in International Journal/Conferences.

1. Recognize your interests and decide on the subject of your study.

2. Try to get in touch with your lecturer or faculty to ask for advice.

3. Study the most recent developments in that field of study.

4. Look at the “Call for papers” on the publication websites. On several websites, including those for Emerald, Springer, Taylor & Francis etc you can find a list of calls for papers from various journals.

5. Examine the impact factor, ranking, and Scopus Index of several journals.

6. Make a list of the best journals according to your priorities and record the dates and deadlines for special issues.

7. Finalize your journal and choose a focused subject for your research paper.

8. Before beginning the paper, ensure that you are familiar with and confident in the research structure and objective.

9. Consult prior research articles on ResearchGate, Scihub, Google Scholar, and other specialized publication websites.

10. Use similar keywords to find a good collection of high-caliber research articles (25–30) with related objectives for your reference.

11. Review the paper's format that the journal has provided. Their template or information description may be attached.

12. To improve clarity, start focusing on the abstract, purpose, goals, keywords, methodology, originality, and practical implications.

13. Ensure that the citations in your complete research paper are made using a certain piece of software.

20. Add the Finding, Discussions, and Limitations section at the end of the paper as it adds a lot of credibility to the paper from the reviewer perspective.

21. The conclusion of the paper should be very precise as every researcher goes through the conclusion to quickly understand your research and identify the future research gaps.
