The publications indexed in the databases such as Scopus and ISI Thompson only are considered as publications at the global level.

Objectives of the Program: -The ways of producing good research and writing eminent papers with scientific reporting -Gain exposure to creating new approaches and solve research problems -The content of a good research, good review and revision The program will address the following questions. • How to produce quality research publication? • How to reflect the research carried out through the publication? • What are the measures for research impact? • What is the best way to disseminate research? • How to structure the research publication? • How to assess the reviewed publication? • What is indexed research? • How to integrate the research in the process of global review and indexing? • How to increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity? • How to improve English language presentation and proofread the language without language experts? • How to find collaborators and form the collaborative network in research The program will discuss the ways to optimize the research publication activities and the structure of research publications, review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications, demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other citation and evaluation metrics. Who can participate? Researchers, academicians & scientists, librarians and administrators from Colleges, Universities, Research Laboratories and Scientific Agencies.

Pl. send all your communications to hrmohan.ieee(a)gmail.com With regards HR Mohan *======================================================== * *Articles* *Top Tech Trends In 2019* Technology is now central to every industry — from building construction to healthcare administration to food production. CB Insights looks at the top tech trends poised to reshape industries in 2019 in its 57 pages report. . Report <https://hs-763793.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/c/*W56tXpd2MP34cW7bTB1z5t2gwB0/*W4…> *Global priorities research* Governments, foundations and individuals spend large amounts of money on efforts to improve the world. However, there is currently little research to guide them on what priorities they should focus on at the highest level. Global priorities research applies techniques from economics, maths, and social science to help organisations choose which global problems they should spend their limited resources on, in order to improve the world as much as possible. Full Post <https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/global-priorities-research/> *Ministry Of Home Affairs Issues Handbook For Students/Adolescents On Cyber Safety* Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, in consultation with Cyber Security experts prepared a 38 pages Handbook for Students/Adolescents on Cyber Safety. The Handbook aims at creating awareness among citizens, especially students, about various cyber threats that can impact them and ways to safeguard themselves against cybercrimes. Handbook <http://www.legaleraonline.com/Ministry-of-Home-Affairs-issues-Handbook-for-…> *10 Principles Of Organizational Culture* How often have you heard somebody — a new CEO, a journalist, a management consultant, a leadership guru, a fellow employee — talk about the urgent need to change the culture? They want to make it world-class. To dispense with all the nonsense and negativity that annoys employees and stops good intentions from growing into progress. To bring about an entirely different approach, starting immediately. These culture critiques are as common as complaints about the weather — and about as effective. How frequently have you seen high-minded aspirations to “change the culture” actually manage to modify the way that people behave and the way in which they work? And how often have you seen noticeable long-term improvements? Full Post <http://www.strategy-business.com/feature/10-Principles-of-Organizational-Cu…> *What Happened after India Eliminated Cash* Two years ago, the Indian government abruptly wiped out most of the nation’s currency in hopes of ending black money and curbing corruption. Has the experiment worked? Full Post <https://www.strategy-business.com/article/What-Happened-after-India-Elimina…> *YouTube, persuasion and genetically engineered children* On Sunday, Nov. 25, the scientist He Jiankui claimed the birth of the world’s first genetically engineered children: twins, created by IVF, their DNA altered at fertilization. Changes like these, because they’re inheritable – “editing the germline” – are widely prohibited by law and avoided by scientific consensus. If He really did this, it’s a very big step across a very bright line. Also, He announced the feat in a YouTube video. The strangeness of this choice cannot be overstated. Groundbreaking achievements normally appear in prestigious journals, with extensive data, after rigorous peer review. Announcing the accomplishment on YouTube is the social media equivalent of walking out the front door and yelling, “Guess what, everybody? I’m the first to engineer a human being! And the kids are already here – they’re twins!” The timing of the video’s release – on the eve of a major international conference on genome editing, where He was scheduled to speak – clearly had more to do with publicity than science.

It has recently been accused of perpetuating fake news, funding child abuse and interfering with democracy. Facebook, which makes most of its $US40 billion a year revenue from digital advertising, has been in the firing line, but many other businesses across the digital advertising supply chain are now feeling the pinch. It is not surprising then, that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has taken steps to toughen up regulation, or that new government legislation is being considered. Full Post <https://theconversation.com/tech-giants-need-to-take-more-responsibility-fo…> *Teaching For Intelligence: Recognizing and encouraging skillful thinking and behaviour* The claim is often made (in this issue as well as elsewhere) that schools give a disproportionate emphasis to logical/mathematical and verbal material and intelligence. My sense is that this is only superficially true. The content may have this character, and lip service may be given to these forms of intelligence, but the actual educational process remains focused on low level skills. The real development of thinking skills, even within these areas of intelligence, is usually as neglected as the rest of our mental capacities. If this changes soon, Professor Costa will be one of the reasons. His recent book, Developing Minds; A Resource Book For Teaching Thinking, provides a comprehensive overview of the growing Thinking Skills Movement, and he has also recently been elected president of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. He is currently Professor of Education at California State University, Sacramento. This article aims at clarifying and expanding our sense of what intelligent behavior is and how we can encourage it.

It was good advice when Benjamin Franklin said it, and it's good advice now, no matter your age. But your 20s are a particularly crucial time in life. Many call these the "formative" years, and the habits you form now can carry you through the rest of your life. So what's the best way to spend this time?
