Background

A great deal of value is attached to published research. Writing research paper is an option for undertaking short period research investigation. Ph.D. Scholars are required to publish 2/3 research papers in refereed journals before the submission of thesis. A substantive research effort is invested in research paper writing by a large number of teachers, industry experts and scholars. However, several authors do not know how to write a research paper with the result that a large number of papers are rejected by peered reviewed quality journals. Writing a research paper is an art as well as a sophisticated knowledge based skill. Very few among the academia understand the finer nuances involved in writing a research paper which is publishable in a high quality refereed or peer reviewed journal. This workshop is expected to fill up this gap to some extent. SPSS is a leading global provider of predictive analytics software and solutions. The companys predictive analytics technology improves business processes by giving organizations consistent control over decisions made every day. CONTENTS OF THE WORKSHOP
