JRMG Special Issue – 2nd Research Management and Administration Symposium, 23-24 November 2023
1.0 Type of Articles: Short Communication/ Case Studies
Short communications should be similar to a research article, but with shorter sections on Materials and Methods and Discussion. The total length should be about 2,000 words not including the abstract, references, and appendices.
2.0 Manuscript formatting
2.1 Text
Single-spaced with a 12-point font ( Times New Roman)
Use of italics font rather than underlining (except with URL addresses)

Indicate the corresponding author (CA) with an asterisk*.
3.0 Outline of Articles

3.2 Abstract
The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. The abstract should be self-contained and citation-free and should not exceed 250 words.
3.3 Keywords
The authors should provide up to 7 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid for example, “and,” “of” etc.). Separate each keyword with a semi-colon (;).
3.4 Introduction
This section should be concisely written with no subheadings.
3.5 Materials and Methodology
This part should contain sufficient detail so that all procedures can be repeated. It can be divided into subsections. Provide references for previously published methods.
3.6 Results and Discussion
This section may be divided by subheadings or may be combined. Results should be clear and concise.
3.7 Conclusions
This should clearly explain the main conclusions of the work highlighting their importance and relevance.
3.8 Acknowledgements
All acknowledgements (if any) should be included at the very end of the paper before the references and should include supporting grants. This section should be removed for the blinded manuscript.

Aim The purpose of the workshop is to provide a structured approach to learning about bibliometrics, to allow participants to understand and acquire a good command of the basic skills needed for interrogation of the research landscape.
Learning Outcomes • Understand and interpret a wide range of publication- and citation-based statistics • Use Web of Science and InCites to effectively conduct bibliometric analysis • Reflect critically on proper and improper use of bibliometric and scientometric information in the evaluation of scientific research
Benefits • A report on the overall research performance of your institution • All participants will enjoy up to 2 MONTHS FREE ACCESS to INCITES after the workshop

THE ASSOCIATION OF RESEARCH MANAGERS & ADMINISTRATORS (MYRMA)
Here at The Association of Research Managers & Administrators (MyRMA), we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. MyRMA is a platform for Research Managers (RMs) and Administrators (RAs) from both public and private institutions to interact and exchange ideas. Also for the RMs and RAs from universities and research institutes to meet with Funders.
The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s fresh ideas and passion for the range of activities we’re involved in. Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
