Thanks bro haha~

Well, my scholarship requires Q1 and Q2 ISI journals only haha 
Yeah, most seasoned researchers will say that the comments given are always very critical and well-thought of, they may not be sweet to them ears/eyes, but then its for our own good 

Bro, what do you mean "don't publish the whole idea to journal prior to submission of your phD"?
Sorry noob here hehe

I understand how you feel bro, its all about KPI nowadays in Universities all over the globe...
those who fail to perform will be kicked out... 
Personally I don't think its very fair since certain fields are not as popular as others... so publishing papers won't as easy 

yeah Ivan helped me to convey the meaning of that sentence.

Normally a PhD would have several 'research objectives'. I have seen comments from other forums saying they are producing 3 separate journals out of their PHD thesis.

My currently targeted journal "Journal of Accounting Education" doesn't carry an impact factor, and their reviews were sharp and piercing to heart lol... but at least they do expressly encourage the writer, otherwise submitting a phailed journal will result in humiliation =D

Thanks bro, why are you here? You're still a long, long way from postgrad life 
Well, its not easy to steal idea for my field, so not really worried there haha
But then will still be careful; later all my hard work go to waste

Many thanks for the advice bro, appreciate it~ 
Yeah, one phD title doesn't mean one journal hehe, its quite common in my field since each project might touch on different aspects/ fields and sometimes not all of these can be accepted or will be too messy for a single publication

There are ppl who practice "salami slicing", now those are unethical

Words of advice, enjoy degree life while you can yo... go on trips during them semester breaks, if not no chance le 

means that 1 part of the research were split into few papers instead should be 1 part = 1 paper.
some kind of shortcut way to publish more papers but with limited data/experiment...

correct?

i agree. since Malaysians usually very polite, even when want to scold someone.
where as the foreign editor always straight to the point. no means no.

usually for publishing paper the university/supervisor/lecturer would require student to publish in International Journals.

for me, the requirement to complete my study is to publish 2 papers in any International Journal.

Yup, nice way of putting it bro

so... when are you joining us? hehe 

Yeah, no point getting stressed and worrying 24/7 all over a few darn papers
Relax from time to time, chill out with friends, chat with supervisors, it'll help release the tension... at least it works for me whenever I feel stressed

Attended a research talk about reviewer's point of view in getting a journal paper published.

very informative, and of course got hadiah in the end hahah!

bro, going to USM?

I am thinking master by research at USM, yup engineering and it would be fun there.

where should I start if going to be 'graduate research assistant'? kind of clueless
