PUBLISHelp
-A breakthrough Free TIIKM project to make your research publication possible-
Why
—-
In recent times we, TIIKM and the AEMS were able to identify that the major reason for many academic papers being rejected from high standard journals is due to lack of knowledge and improper guidance on scientific writing. PUBLISHelp is designed to help authors who need help in improving their academic writing. We believe we can reduce the number of rejections and increase the possibility of acceptances with the aid of PUBLISHelp.
How
—-
We have appointed a world-class “Scientific Steering Committee” to help authors to develop their full papers prior to the conference. Before sending the paper to a journal, the papers will be reviewed and guidance will be provided to revise by a world-class reviewing committee.
To Whom
—-
This project is designed to help researchers/authors who aspire to develop their full papers up to the standards of high quality academic journals.
How to enroll
—-
This program is free for all the conference paid participants**. Please click here for more details and registrations.
