Dr. Upaka Rathnayake recently had the pleasure of delivering an engaging session at the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL), focused on the critical topic of scientific writing for high-impact journals. The session, titled “Writing your manuscript targeting a high-index journal: selecting a journal, writing philosophy, and preparing the manuscript”, aimed to demystify the publication process for aspiring researchers and professionals.

Representing Atlantic Technological University, Dr. Rathnayake shared practical strategies for identifying suitable journals, developing a coherent and compelling manuscript, and understanding the nuances of academic writing that resonate with editors and reviewers alike.

It was a rewarding experience to connect with a vibrant audience of engineers and academics, whose curiosity and enthusiasm made the session truly interactive. Events like these reflect our ongoing commitment at MISHE to build global research capacity and foster a culture of excellence in scholarly communication.
