About The Book

Publication is one of the research outputs to fulfil the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in UTM. Research publication consists of publications in High Impact Journal in Web of Science (WOS), Scopus Indexed Publication, Proceedings, Edited Volume, and Books. Since every academic staff is required to publish in WOS/Scopus indexed publication and  proceedings  as  an individual annual KPI, this year the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSH) has made an initiative to conduct a series of workshops on publication  to ensure  that  every  academic staff could publish his/her work. The series of  workshops  includes  Writing  Abstract, Introduction & Systematic Literature Review, Writing Methodology and Findings, and Writing Discussion and Conclusions.

As a follow up to this, another initiative taken up is to compile the contents of the workshops conducted to form a written guideline for staff and students at FSSH. This publication, aptly named ‘Writing Academic Articles for Social Sciences and Humanities’, is divided into the following topics:

1. Writing for Academic Purposes
2. Publication Ethics and Ethical Issues
3. Writing an Abstract
4. Writing an Introduction
5. Writing a Systematic Literature Review
6. Writing Methodology
7. Writing Findings
8. Writing Discussion
9. Writing Conclusions

Every topic in this book deals with a specific sub-section of a journal article and assists readers to produce an effective writing for suitable for publication. The topic ‘Writing for Academic Purposes’ gives a general overview of academic writing especially in Social Sciences and Humanities Journals. An important aspect of publication is dealt with in the chapter on ‘Publication Ethics and Ethical Issues’. The next topic on ‘Writing an Abstract’ provides a guideline on how to write a summary of a research work to suit the needs of a journal article. ‘Writing an Introduction’ is one of the important sections in a journal article.
