4. Are you ready to Publish?
Consider publishing when you feel that you have information that
contributes to the advances in scientific field.
This can include one of the following:
One is presenting new, original methods and results
Rationalising, refining or reinterpreting the published results
Reviewing or summarising a particular subject or field
A good manuscript is clear, useful and presented in a logical manner such
that the readers can grasp its contribution easily.
5. Technical Paper
Technical paper:Writing of organized analysis of a subject to record and
disseminate information or knowledge or to present a point of view on a
selected topic.
Objectives
It is usually written for external audience
Briefly and clearly explained
Routine details need to be avoided
Computer Program may not be included.

7. Conference Paper
A Conference paper is appropriate to disseminate work in progress
research findings.
Its typically 6-10 pages. However it could also include short papers of 2 or
4 pages.
Typically contains 15 references and about 3-4 figures/tables.
A good way to start the research career.
8. Journal Paper
A Journal paper or full paper is appropriate to disseminate completed
research findings.
Its typically 10-20 pages. However it may not have any specific limit on
number of pages
Typically contains 25 references and about 5-6 figures/tables.
A good way to build a research career.
Review Paper: Provides a good way to consolidate a scientific research
career, typically consist of 10+pages, 5+figures, 50+references
9. Writing Papers is a Skill
Model – I
Model-II
Idea Do research Write paper
Idea Do research Write paper
Idea Write paper Do research
10. You need to have a Novel idea before you can write a paper
Write a Paper and give a talk about any idea no matter how
insignificant it may seem to you.
The talk opens a dialogue with others: reality check, critique and
collaboration
11. The Idea
Figure out what your idea is
Make certain that the reader is in no doubt what the idea is. Be
100% explicit:
“The main idea of this paper is....”
“In this section we present the main contributions of the paper.”
Many papers contain good ideas, but do not distil what they are.
12. Narrative Flow
Here is a problem
It’s an interesting problem
It’s an unsolved problem
Here is my idea
My idea works (details, data)
Here’s how my idea compares to other people’s
approaches
I wish I
knew how
to solve
that!
I see how
that
works.
Ingenious!
13. Many papers are badly written and hard to understand.
This is a pity, because their good ideas may go unappreciated.
Following simple guidelines can dramatically improve the quality of
your papers.
The feedback you get from others will in turn improve your
research

15. Title
Title draws readers to your work.
Its one of the factors for increasing the impact factor.
Is expected to include keywords of the contribution
Make title interesting and attractive
Shouldn’t be long (may be typically around 12-13 words max)
16. Abstract
Better write it at the end.
Used by program committee members to decide which papers to
read
Four sentences [Kent Beck]
- State the problem
- Say why it’s an interesting problem
- Say what your solution achieves
- Say what follows from your solution
Keywords
17. Introduction
Describe the Problem
Introduce the problem. //Give examples if needed//
Background and Context
Articulate the need of the study/work
StateYour contributions
The list of contributions drives the entire paper: the paper substantiates the
claims you have made
Reader thinks “gosh, if they can really deliver this, that’s be exciting; I’d better
read on”

Your idea
We adopt the notion of transaction from Brown [1], as modified for
distributed systems byWhite [2], using the four-phase interpolation
algorithm of Green [3]. Our work differs fromWhite in our advanced
revocation protocol, which deals with the case of priority inversion as
described byYellow [4].
19. Presenting the Idea
3.The idea
Consider a bifurcated semi-lattice E, over a hyper-modulated signature P.
Suppose ai is an element of E. Then we know for every such ai there is an
epi-modulus j, such that aj < ai.
Sounds impressive...but
Sends readers to sleep
In a paper you MUST provide the details, but FIRST convey the idea
20. The details: evidence
Your introduction makes claims.
The body of the paper provides evidence to support each
claim.
Check each claim in the introduction, identify the evidence, and
forward-reference it from the claim.
Evidence can be: analysis and comparison, theorems,
measurements, case studies more importantly formal proofs
21. Results and Discussion
Simulate your Ideas
Collect Data
Plot Results
Describe the direct observation first
Identify the features/characteristics responsible in achieving the results
Show how the results changes when the features/characteristics are
changed.
Note down the trends during scaling
Compare with the earlier approaches
22.
23. Figures and Tables
The captions should be short and comprehensive.
Axes in the graphs should be labeled properly.
Specify the units on each axes.
If there are multiple curves in graphs, they need to be differentiated
appropriately with proper colors or shadings
24. Conclusion
Summary of the findings.
Summarize your claims
What are key parameters
How results are related to these parameters
How good is your solution/model/approach
How does your work contribute the objectives stated in Introduction
section.
25. Impact Factor
A measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles
published.
If a Journal has an impact factor of 3 in 2013, then its papers published
in 2011 and 2012 received 3 citations each on average in 2013.The
2013 impact factor of a journal would be calculated as follows:
A = the number of times articles published in 2011 and 2012 were cited
by indexed journals during 2013.
B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2011
and 2012. ("Citable items" are usually articles, reviews, proceedings,
or notes; not editorials or Letters-to-the-Editor.)
2013 impact factor =A/B.
26. Thee 2013 Impact factor for the journal A=
Number of times articles or other items published in A during
2011 & 2012 were cited in indexed journals* during 2009
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Number of “citable” articles** published in A in 2011 & 2012
That is:
Cites in 2013 to items published in 2011 + 2012 = 9533 + 12554 = 22087
Number of items published in A in 2011 + 2012 = 343 + 366 = 709
Impact Factor = Cites to recent items/ Number of recent items published
=22087/709 = 31.152
27. Indexing
Indexation of a journal/conference proceedings is considered a
reflection of its quality. Indexed journals are considered to be of
higher scientific quality as compared to non-indexed journals
SCI (Science Citation Index)
SCIE (SCI-Emerging)
Scopus
DBLP
WOS (Web of Science)
ICI (Indian Citation Index)
28. H-index:The h-index serves as an alternative to more traditional
journal impact factor metrics in the evaluation of the impact of the
work of a particular researcher. Because only the most highly cited
articles contribute to the h-index, its determination is a simpler
process.
The h-index of a publication is the largest number h such that at least
h articles in that publication were cited at least h times each.
I10-index: Number of publications with atleast 10 citations
