By Edmond Sanganyado | Nov. 6, 2023 |
Introduction
Research publishing is an opportunity to communicate with a global audience, and it is probably essential for career progression and research grant acquisition. However, most researchers struggle to publish their research, because they lack resources and critical knowledge of the publishing process. This toolkit is meant to provide a list of resources to help you during the writing, illustration, and submission process.
