We take this proud privilege to announce the formation of Young Professionals Affinity Group in IEEE UP Section recently in the month of May, 2016. As the opening activity of this affinity group under UP Section, this event “TECH-FOCUS” has been hosted as YP Student Transition and Elevation Partnership Program (STEP) ---- in the form of A One Day National Workshop on “Research Paper Writing and Publication Ethics”.

The Department of Computer Engineering & Applications, GLA University, Mathura organized this workshop and was sponsored by IEEE Asia-Pacific (R10) Young Professionals STEP, IEEE U.P. Section Young Professional Affinity Group, IEEE CS GLAU student branch chapter. The activities in this workshop focussed towards developing research awareness for beginners (graduate students, research scholars and young academicians/faculty). The talks/interactive sessions have been conducted from eminent dignitaries on topics like Plagiarism, Research Paper Writing, Patent filling issues etc. Lastly, the session concluded with YP group activity along with Open Discussion Forum, focusing on pursuing research as career beyond graduation, current challenges and constraints faced by young professionals.

The Chief Guest, Prof. (Dr.) S.N. Singh from IIT Kanpur and IEEE R10 CTS Coordinator, inaugurated the event along with Prof. (Dr.) J. Ramkumar, (Chairman, IEEE U.P. Section) also from IIT Kanpur, Mr. Dhanukumar Patansethi from IEEE Bangalore Section. The inaugural event was graced with the presence of GLA University’s Pro-Vice Chancellor, Prof. Anand Mohan Agarwal, Prof. Anoop Kumar Gupta, Dean of Research and Development, Dr. Anirudh Pradhan, Head of Computer Engineering and Applications Department, Prof. Anand Singh Jalal and Prof. Dilip Kumar Sharma who lighted the lamp to initiate the workshop. The welcome speech was given by Prof. Anand Singh Jalal & the theme was introduced by Prof. Dilip Kumar Sharma. Dr. S.N. Singh during his inaugural address spoke about the five-point spells for good education. He mentioned
that academicians should be expert in TRPIP i.e. the Teaching, Research, Publication, Institutional and Professional activities. Pro-Vice Chancellor, Prof. A.M. Agarwal during his address to YP delegates mentioned that the subject of the workshop is very important a skill development. Because, a better and skilled presentation makes a research to claim national and international recognition.

Dr. Singh also gave a talk on the topic “Effective Writing and Publishing Research Papers”, stating that in order to write a research paper the necessary content, language and the image content should be correctly analyzed and placed. Also, the usage of various tables and results for the comparative analysis and study should be used for enhancement of paper. He also added that by using the precise vocabulary one should appropriately define our research. It is equally important to summarize the results and key findings. Referral sources used should be appropriately cited and duly mentioned at the end of the research paper in a chronological order.

Prof. J. Ramkumar, delivered an expert talk on "Effective Patent Filing and Related Issues'. He mentioned in his talk that patents in different countries are filed in a number of ways. In India, 20 years of patent term is certain. He stated in his discussions that a research paper can be well used for scientific identification and investigation of technical and social issues. The first writing experience may be scary but if one focuses and organizes his mind then this process can be made easier.

Later, Er. Dhanukumar Pattanashetti, spoke on “IEEE Xplore Digital Library: Delivering Research Better Than Ever” said that the in the age of information, knowledge is expanding rapidly. Today, every organization has a need for the digital library. In this way, students learn about new authors and get various information from these digital libraries, but due its no-availability in some institutions students are being left behind. During the workshop Prof. Sheerish Chowdhury delivered a lecture on “English for Research Paper Writing”. In his lecture, he mentioned that only with correct language, one can express the thoughts and views correctly to communicate a research. He discussed upon the relevance of language usage in research letters, articles, proposals and projects.Prof. Aniruddha Pradhan spoke on “Effective Research Proposal Writing and Related Issues”. He emphasized upon need and relevance of a research grant proposal in R & D activity. Prof. Dilip Kumar Sharma delivered a lecture on the “IEEE Plagiarism Guidelines”, that plagiarism is a crime, which puts up questions on the research of academicians. He described it as the act when a research of another person is re-published without making any changes in it, which is an offence.
Lastly, a YP group activity was also conducted: wherein, the participants were divided into small teams of 5-8 each. The team consisted of a mixed group of faculty, scholars and students. A common team activity was assigned to all the groups and was given 10-15 minutes time and asked to pen down the major challenges faced by them in pursuing research or in defining their research problem? Each team was then asked to present the same verbally before host and the host gave them some solutions, guidelines or suggestions. The activity was concluded an open discussion forum for participants. The guests were given mementos by the official of the workshops as a memory of this YP event at GLA University.
