Two-day workshop on writing quality research article held at vet varsity
Realising the importance of publishing quality research findings in established and reputed journals, the directorate of human resource management centre, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, organised two days’ workshop on how to write a perfect research publication for high impact journals and dissertation.
Professor Naresh Rakha, former dean, postgraduate studies at a veterinary university in Hisar, was invited to guide the postgraduate researchers.
Rakha has long experience of conducting research at Hisar as well as at the University of Liverpool (UK), ILRI (Nairobi), Hokkaido University of Japan and Melbourne University, Australia.
As faculty and postgraduate research scholars at GADVASU are engaged in socially useful research and innovation of the highest quality, supplementing the scientific information pool with high-quality publications becomes equally important, so that the knowledge thus generated can be used by any innovator and researcher for public good.
