Indian
academics are witnessing a significant contribution on research
publications from faculty members and doctoral scholars. Good
publication not only contributes to the theory but addresses the
societal issues. However, the academic fraternity in India is struggling
for publication in top tier journals such as ABDC/ABS/SCOPUS ranked
journals. UGC has mandated Scopus indexed journals as minimum criteria
for publication. However, despite growing concern by universities and
faculty members to get more research publications, very few people know
the right research design, correct methodology and appropriate format
for developing a research paper that can meet the requirements of
international journals. Thus, this article attempts to address the
concerns and provide solutions to these research publication issues.
