Lecture Postscript
On 15 August 2025, New Era University College （NEUC） organised the workshop “From Literature to Publication: Academic Search, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Scopus Journal Submission Practices” at Lecture Hall B309. The session featured Ms Liang Bianyi, a PhD candidate from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, as the speaker, and attracted around 70 postgraduate students.
This workshop was part of the “Bridging Ideas” Research Workshop Series, jointly organised by the Graduate School and the Institute of International Education. The series is designed to provide postgraduate students with academic guidance, helping them develop confidence, clarity, and structured thinking as they advance in their research journey.
Under the theme “From Literature to Publication,” Ms Liang systematically shared a full methodological framework for academic research. In the academic search segment, she demonstrated how to construct efficient search strategies using Boolean logic and wildcards, supported by practical case examples. She also compared the applicability of core databases such as Web of Science and Scopus, enabling researchers to locate relevant literature with greater precision.
In the Scopus journal submission segment, Ms Liang drew on her own publishing experience to discuss key aspects ranging from journal selection and manuscript preparation to responding to peer review. She highlighted the importance of scope alignment, journal ranking, and review cycles, while also sharing practical tips on writing a cover letter. She emphasised that researchers should clearly present the innovative value of their study within 200 words.
