Since every academic staff is required to publish in WOS/Scopus indexed publication and proceedings as an individual annual KPI, this year the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSH) has made an initiative to conduct a series of workshops on publication to ensure that every academic staff could publish his/her work. The series of workshops includes Writing Abstract, Introduction & Systematic Literature Review, Writing Methodology and Findings, and Writing Discussion and Conclusions.
