The Date Palm Research Center at the University of Basrah organized a seminar on scientific publishing in reputable international journals.
The seminar, delivered by Dr. Ahmed Madhi Waheed, aimed to introduce a comprehensive roadmap for publishing in global indexing databases and to enhance researchers’ skills in selecting appropriate journals and publishing their work according to international standards.
The seminar included an explanation of journal performance indicators such as the Impact Factor and CiteScore, in addition to a practical application for calculating the h-index to evaluate researchers’ scientific impact. It also addressed methods for selecting suitable journals using search tools provided by major international publishers, as well as scientific approaches for preparing and refining research papers to ensure their acceptance in high-ranking journals (Q1 and Q2).
