The inability of most academic works from Nigerian universities to attract publication in reputable international journals has prompted the National Universities Commission (NUC) to assemble experts to address the situation.
The workshop tagged ‘Academic Publishing for Junior and Mid-Career Academics’ was declared open by NUC’s Executive Secretary, Professor Abubakar Rasheed, in Abuja.
Prof. Rasheed said the need to acquire requisite knowledge, skills and confidence to increase the quantum of academic papers published by Nigerian academics in high impact journals worldwide informed the weeklong seminar attended by academic staff drawn from public and private universities in the country.
