is aimed to cascade best practices in research writing and journal publishing;
thus, ensuring quality in research publishing as well.
Topics covered during the session
were: Retrieval of digital documents from the Internet; Use of Statistical
Software; Scientific Paper Writing and Publication Process; and the Publication
Process in CSU Academic Journal.
