Later today, Dr. Aqeel, my colleague at SOE who is the leader of our School’s publication committee dropped me a message, informing me that my master student’s paper had been published. Alhamdulillah… The journal is a Scopus indexed journal, so I couldn’t help but feeling proud of such accomplishment.

Vicky’s published article entitled “Juvenile Delinquents’ Learning Experiences in School within Prison: Narratives from the Malaysian Context”

In 2017, Vicky started her master thesis under my supervision and graduated in 2018. I found out later that she wished to pursue her PhD study and knowing that publication is one of the plus points for scholarship applications, I offered Vicky the assistance she needed. Since I still have some budget left from my research grant, I informed Vicky that I will help her with the publication fee. In fact, I had even asked two of my colleagues to do the editing and proofreading process, and later invited them as co-authors (as they say, to cut the extra costs…)

Feel free to read Vicky’s paper on my ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338392675_Juvenile_Delinquents’_Learning_Experiences_in_School_within_Prison_Narratives_from_the_Malaysian_Context
