Prof. Misra shared about the successful experience of KIIT journey in this time and particularly mentioned about how classes and exams are conducted online and mentioned KIIT was the first ever organisation in India to successfully complete one complete semester on online mode.

Prof. Shikta Singh first of all addressed the gathering and welcomed the guests. She set the context of the discussion stating how it pertinent for budding and even established researchers to have a proper and deeper knowledge about the prerequisites of every journal before one actually sends the articles to publishers.

Prof. Arindam Banik is an eminent Indian economist, and editor of Global Business Review. He earned his Ph. D at Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi in 1994.

The main point of discussion revolved around the intricacies involved in publishing in Scopus, ABDC categories and Web of Science Journals. Prof. Shikta Singh very nicely threaded the entire discussion. The session was highly informative and was appreciated by the participants.

The Key takeaways of the Workshop were-

• Tracking the Highly indexed Journal based on SCIMAGO Journal Ranking and impact factor & identifying the best fit for the article
• Deciding on a target Journal and taking it forward and improving the probability of acceptance.
• Referencing H Index based on Q1, Q2,Q3 & Q4.
• Research must be robust and solving a significant problem
• Given scholars’ increasing reliance on search engines to find content, it’s paramount for journals to begin developing more advanced SEO strategies including:
• Creating metadata plan and follow IRMD Approach.
• Ensuring articles are being indexed in Google Scholar
• Exploring Digital Object identifiers(DOIs) as a means of making content more discoverable
• Getting a deep insight on Claviart Analysis and SSCI: Social Science Citation Index
• Operations on Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals.

Finally the convenor thanked the guests and the participants for joining in such a large number. Discussion in the entire session was quite interesting and engaging, with great enthusiasm.
