On March 19, 2025, four students and four faculty members, Dr. Yu, Dr. Gao, Dr. Fong and Dr. Lai, from the Faculty of Business at Macao Polytechnic University attended a workshop led by Prof. W.M. To. The session took place in computer room A211 from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.

During the workshop, Prof. To outlined the crucial steps necessary for publishing a research paper. He emphasized the significant time and effort involved in conducting research and getting a journal paper published. However, he stressed that the work does not end with publication; researchers must ensure that their research publications are discoverable, visible, accessible, and ideally citable. Furthermore, he pointed out that research should have a positive impact on society by driving innovations and influencing policy decisions. Prof. To also discussed various platform for archiving and promoting research findings, including ORCID, ResearcherID (Web of Science), Scopus ID, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Scholarmate, Mendeley, and Growkudos. Participants had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with some of these tools. At the conclusion of the workshop, Prof. To addressed research ethics and cautioned that generative AI should be used carefully in academic research. A student inquired about the function of a specific academic AI, and Prof. To offered an answer.
