How to Publish in a Q1 Journal Event

June 27, 2023

Last week on Thursday we held a very successful and lively workshop with Dr Jan Ali and Mirela Cufurovic on the topic ‘How to Publish in a Q1 Journal’. This session was facilitated by Dr Eva Nisa and we had many attend. It was wonderful to see PhD students and ECR’s attend from many different universities across Australia and overseas.

Dr Jan Ali presented on how to publish in a Q1 journal, what is required for authors when choosing to publish in a Q1 journal, addressed the ins-and-outs of the publishing process from the perspective of a guest editor, and explored how to market oneself to a Q1 journal.

Mirela Cufurovic presented on the importance of collaboration, especially for PhD students and ECR’s, the importance of sticking to the journal template when publishing in a Q1 journal, and how to actively and respectfully engage in the editing process upon receiving reviewer feedback.

AAIMS would like to thank Dr Jan Ali and Mirela Cufurovic for their presentation. We have received positive feedback and hope to host more events like these in the future! A big thank you to Dr Eva Nisa for facilitating the presentations and guiding the Q&A’s. It was great to see engagement and interest from the audience.

If you attended the event and would love to leave some feedback, please email AAIMS at info@aaims.org.au.  We value your feedback!

All the best,

4th Islamophobia Report Launch

March 21, 2023

Today, the Islamophobia Register Australia together with Charles Sturt University and the Islamic Sciences and Research Academy (ISRA) released the 4th Islamophobia Report at Old Parliament House in Canberra. This day is significant, too, for being a UN declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

The report covers data between 2020 and 2021, with data from 2014 onward. The Islamophobia Register Australia was founded in 2014 in response to growing anecdotal evidence of incidents of Islamophobia from across Australia. The Register is the first of its kind in Australia to provide a unique platform for incidents of Islamophobia to be reported, recorded and analysed into a published report.

AAIMS Member and Associate Professor, Derya Iner, is the leading scholar and researcher behind this report. Congratulations Derya!

 

Until next time,
