Day 169a Task – Reviewing Manuscript for ICOST2020

I was appointed by ICoST 2020 Conference committee to review a manuscript which deals something about catalysis and reaction engineering, which is basically my expertise. I took the time today to review the manuscript and I found it can be actually improved further to make it a better and quality manuscript. But, a lot of work need to be done by the authors. I have submitted my review and presented my comments and concern. Luckily so far, I only have one manuscript from ICoST 2020 to review, but if there is more, I will happily help.

Day 165 Task – Miscellaneous AJEE, PDP, GSA, iCOST2020 Paper & Keyed in Marks Tasks

Today is a beautiful Saturday. Fortunately I am still OK to do some work. As the above titled mentioned, I did quite some express work. There was quite a number of follow up and formatting work for AJEE that need to be settled. On top of that, for Plant Design Project (PDP), i need to keep track of SV who have submitted the entrepreneurship marks and key-in the marks for students. I then need to send a follow up telegram message to all SV to remind them to submit the  entrepreneurship marks (for those who haven’t done so, off course).

I also received reminder from ICost2020 secretariat to submit full paper. I have earlier submitted an abstract via easychair and the abstract was accepted. The paper has already been prepared by my PSM student but I need to changed it to the required format and later to do the Turnitin plagiarism check. To my surprise, the plagiarism score is quite high and need to be lowered down. Well that’s a task for tomorrow and Monday.
