This certified training programme is designed to strengthen researchers’ ability to publish high-quality, ethically sound, and internationally visible research in leading peer-reviewed journals.

The course provides a structured understanding of the academic publishing ecosystem, including journal selection strategies, manuscript structuring, editorial expectations, and peer-review processes. Participants learn how editors and reviewers assess submissions, how research quality and originality are evaluated, and how to respond effectively to reviewers’ comments and revision requests.

Special attention is given to research integrity, transparency, reproducibility, and ethical authorship, as well as to the most common reasons for manuscript rejection. Practical guidance is provided on improving clarity, methodological rigor, figures and tables, and alignment with international publishing standards required by journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.

This programme is essential for doctoral candidates, early-career researchers, and experienced academics seeking to improve publication success rates, enhance research visibility, and build a strong, credible academic profile aligned with institutional and funder expectations.
