Research Publications

The “research publications” is defined as books, book chapters, journal articles and/or conference publications which are the result of research activity, and are characterised by:

  • substantial scholarly activity, as evidenced by discussion of the relevant literature, an awareness of the history and antecedents of work described, and provided in a format which allows a reader to trace sources of the work, including through citations and footnotes

  • originality (i.e. not a compilation of existing works)

  • increasing the stock of knowledge

  • being in a form that enables dissemination of knowledge

Please view the website of Aro, The Scientific Journal of Koya University for more details

Research Activity

The “research activity” is defined as:

  • Creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of human knowledge, and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications.

  • Any activity classified as research which is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity’s stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably increased.

  • Pure basic research, strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development.

The peer-review requirements

The publication must have undergone a peer-review process that involves assessment of the publication:

  • in its entirety – not merely an abstract or extract;

  • prior to publication; and

  • by appropriately qualified experts that are independent of the author
