Workshop: Conducting Successful Research - From Problem Identification to Research and From Outcome to Translation in the Field of Information

Have you had an experience of publishing in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST)? If not, the following workshop is for you.

Lead by experienced researchers and journal article authors, this workshop, through commenting on your work and the subsequent mentorship, will show and guide you through the process of turning your ASIS&T (and other) conference papers into JASIST articles. The workshop will be led by Professor Javed Mostafa, the Editor-in-Chief of the JASIST; Professor Caroline Haythornthwaite, the Senior Associate Editor of the JASIST; Dr Sam Chu, the top 66th author in the world for his publications of library & information science; and Dr. Hong Huang, a member of the Editorial Boards for Library & Information Science Research, Online Information Review and Journal of Information and Knowledge Management.

Universities worldwide are now emphasizing on the societal impact of academic researches. Therefore, besides showing you how you may transform a conference paper into a journal article, presenters in this workshop will also share their secrets of success and help you to prepare for designing a research that is more likely to result in significant societal impact, including how to propose important research questions, be creative and innovative in seeking research grants, carry out research strategically, write up research results rigorously, and, most importantly, translate research outcomes into real-world solutions.
