The first session on Academic Publishing touched on the
importance of publishing papers in English, before presenting
practical advice and quick tips on effectively using academic
English to write better scientific manuscripts. Other points
addressed in detail included the importance of a good literature
review, effective planning and preparation of manuscripts for
publication, selecting the right journal, and correctly structuring
papers and references before initial submission.
The next session was on How to Deal with Journal Rejection,
where the audience was explained why manuscripts are rejected by
journals and clarifying how the peer review process works, along
with listing the obvious mistakes authors should avoid in order to
prevent a rejection. The ultimate aim of this session was to help
researchers maintain a positive outlook while dealing with journal
rejection, equipping them with the tools to resubmit with
confidence.
"This interactive workshop was specifically designed for
Lithuanian researchers to gain better understanding of academic
publishing and learn the nuances of the various stages involved in
order to increase their chances of publication in the English
language," said Rajiv Shirke, Vice
President, Global Operations, Enago.
Eleonora Dagienė, Director of VGTU Press, commented, "We
appreciate Enago for organising such successful workshops here in
Lithuania. It was truly a pleasure
to be a part of it. The topic covered was a crucial one and the
participants did not have a notion of the aspects involved in the
publication process. This has also raised the overall level of
inquisitiveness, which is always beneficial as VGTU maintains its
educational role while VGTU Press works on ensuring the quality of
publications. The positive feedback and acknowledgement continues
to flow in, and I can surmise that the objective has been fully
accomplished."
Dr. Ieva Cesevièiute, Head of
Research Information Services, KTU added, "English is the
international language of science. The expertise shared by Enago
has given Lithuanian academics the opportunity to increase their
international publishing potential, and therefore, will reaffirm
Lithuania's standing on the
scientific stage."
