good luck to all who undertake M.Sc & Ph.D .. paper publishing is not an easy task. dealing with international publisher/editor/reviewer takes a lot of patience.

for me - paper got reject is normal, paper got accepted is abnormal.

my latest paper, got rejected once, edit/modified and then resubmit

Try targeting at non-ISI journal if you thrive for the feeling of getting your paper published. By the way the comments given by international reviewers are useful in your PhD writing too =)

Remember don't publish the whole idea to journal prior to submission of your PhD.

hurm, for me it is OK to target a non-ISI journal; easier to publish, less strict editor/reviewer. but my supervisor keep on insist to publish on those ISI journal. wants to keep up his records, don't want to publish in those journal without a high impact factor. pity for us students attempt to publish into those high impact factor journal usually resulted in paper rejection. as a result ---> morale down...

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
*
humiliation, rejection, sharp piercing to the heart comment;
that the barrier we authors need to face if we want to publish international papers.

Unethically publishing alot of journals from a single title, even when its more appropriate to mix certain topics together... hard to explain haha laugh.gif
Someone help?  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

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 guess we Asians, particularly Malaysians are not that familiar with foreign cultures at giving criticisms I guess laugh.gif
Ppl here tend to beat about the bush when criticizing ppl  sweat.gif

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.

For those who teach and taking masters/PhD at the same time, this is the standard set by my uni.

Research 50%
Publication 20%
Teaching 25%
Admin 5%

make sense? I teach 15 hours a week.
*
15 hours a week? that a lot of time..

then how do you can focus on your study?
which uni are you now?

Hello guys. Glad I found this thread.

I'm just completed Msc in Human Resource Development. I already submitted one paper (I'm the main author) for Australian journal and now waiting for the referees' report. Before this my supervisor submitted one paper (I'm second author) for Romanian journal and already accepted for publication this coming December. 

Anyway guys, aside from becoming a lecturer. What other academic jobs we can apply in uni? Is research fellow worth it?
*
If you are very interested in the field of your research, then by all means do proceed. I don't think research fellow would have a high salary compare to industrial job.

Alternatively, last time when I'm completed my master, I went to work in Intel, they accept fresh graduate even for M.Sc and Ph.D. Thing is, you'll need to go for multinational company if you want to be paid based on your master level. Some of the local company would not pay the supposedly amount for M.Sc graduate.

By the way, congratulations on your 1st publication and I wish you good luck for your both journal and your viva presentation in the near future.

Thanks. Actually I don't really like giving lecture. I'm more interested to conduct academic research. Right now I'm lean towards academic line rather than corporate/industrial jobs.

Yes, I do agree with you that local companies pay lower that what a master graduate should earn as they only only looking for bachelor's degree graduates. I already passed viva voce and already submitted the final manuscript. Now I'm just waiting for graduation.

BTW, currently are you working or studying PhD? How much you got paid by Intel with master's degree? Hope you don't mind to share. Thanks again.

rm3.5k for M.Sc fresh graduate. Currently I'm doing Ph.D.
