Annual Research and Publication Review Workshop: Ensuring Excellence, Integrity, and Impact
Overview:
The Annual Research & Publication Review Workshop is the foundation of our institutional dedication to scholarly excellence. This culminating event offers a thorough, high-level assessment of the year's research outputs, promoting a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and transparent governance. It is where we collectively evaluate our progress, acknowledge impactful work, and uphold the rigorous standards that define our research community. We have successfully hosted 12 Annual Research and Publication Review Workshops, and we are hosting the 13th this year on January 28 and 29, 2029. In this review workshop, we assess both ongoing and completed research and publications from this year.
Objectives:
The objectives of our annual research and publication review workshops are:
• Review the progress of research and publications from the year
• Evaluate compliance with research and publication policies and guidelines
• Identify challenges and obstacles in research and publication delivery
• Share research findings
