Location: UET Meeting Room

The UTHM Research Publication Strategy was discussed during a productive meeting at UTHM Education and Training (UET). The session focused on developing a collaborative publication initiative to strengthen research quality, publication planning and international visibility.

The discussion involved Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Edie Ezwan Mohd. Safian, Head of Department, Faculty of Technology Management and Business (FPTP); Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siti Sarah Omar, General Manager of UTHM Education and Training (UET); and Mrs. Nurul Hazleena Mustafa, Executive.

UTHM Research Publication Strategy

During the meeting, the team discussed suitable publication timelines and potential journals for future manuscripts. A clear timeline can help researchers manage the writing, review and submission process more effectively.

In addition, the discussion focused on identifying suitable journals that match the scope and quality of the research. Selecting the right publication platform is important for improving the visibility and impact of scholarly work.

The team also highlighted the importance of preparing manuscripts according to international publishing standards. As a result, researchers can strengthen the quality of their work and improve their readiness for journal submission.

Strengthening Research Quality and Visibility

Furthermore, the discussion explored ways to support researchers in achieving their academic and institutional publication goals. Strategic planning can help researchers manage their publication activities while maintaining high academic standards.

The initiative also supports efforts to increase research visibility through internationally recognised indexing platforms such as Scopus. Moreover, stronger publication planning can contribute to wider research dissemination and greater academic recognition.

The UTHM Research Publication Strategy reflects a shared commitment to strengthening research excellence through collaboration. By combining expertise, planning and academic support, the initiative can create a more structured approach to scholarly publication.

Moving forward, UET will continue to support meaningful collaboration that connects quality research with wider academic visibility. Through strategic publication planning, researchers can strengthen their scholarly contribution while supporting UTHM’s commitment to research excellence.

Together, we continue to bridge quality research and global recognition through meaningful collaboration and academic excellence.
