Publishing in Peer-Reviewed Journals: Challenges and Solutions
The Scientific Research Committee at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, King Abdullah Road Campus, launched a workshop titled "Publishing in Peer-Reviewed Journals: Challenges and Solutions." The workshop, which was delivered by Dr. Mazeegha Al-Tale', focused on highlighting the significance of publishing in peer-reviewed journals, necessary steps, and techniques.
"As faculty members, we strive to publish in peer-reviewed journals. After the hard work of thinking about appropriate topics, designing our studies, collecting the data and going through other steps of writing, we all are eager to see our works in good scientific journals", said Dr. Al- Tale'.
Dr. Al-Tale' also highlighted the importance of checking the impact factor of a journal before correspondence. Additionally, Dr. Al-Tale' provided a list of good publishing houses and explained the journal selection tools. She also visited some useful websites during the session in order to show the audience how to know if the target journal is listed in Scopus or not, to know whether a target journal is predatory or not, and to make sure that the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a real one.
Dr. Al-Tale' thanked the Scientific Research Committee at the Faculty of Languages and Translation for providing her with the opportunity to share her experience, noting that the active participation of the attendees allowed for a series of actionable plans.
