Aims
The idea of writing a sustainable research paper or developing a topic of research interest that can lead to a PhD / Doctorate degree or proposal is always an endless thinking of where, when, why, what and who. Therefore, becoming an experienced researcher and writer in any field or discipline takes a great deal of practice. This Keynote Lecture will highlights the possible solutions in response to the lack of competence demonstrated by young researchers and PhD / Doctorate students, and the understanding of what contributes to knowledge gap.
