“Publish or Perish” is a critical statement that emphasizes the importance of publishing the research work. For many young scholars and researchers, publishing the research results is a very vital step for their academic career. Publishing papers is necessary to get your work seen by the academic community, to exchange your ideas globally and to ensure you receive the recognition for your results. However, very often, due to the insufficient information, the value of the research works can’t be recognized.
A good English journal paper should consist of varying elements, including selection of a topic and impressive title, structure organization, research questions, method adopted, and the study design. They all contribute to making a publishable paper. The course is aiming at leading students to read academic articles as well as assisting them to realize the procedures of submitting a manuscript. There are three major parts in the course, including paper writing, research work publication and peer review system.

Teaching approaches include lecture, group discussions, individual and group presentations.
1. Attend class, complete reading assignments, and participate in class discussions. This course has both discussion and lecture components. Teacher will give a lecture for the reading assignment first. The outline of the presentation will be prepared by teacher. Then each class will start with a discussion that focuses on the assigned readings and uses them to address larger questions. You are expected participate actively in these discussions. Question-posing to the class is especially encouraged, especially questions that may have no "right" answer. At the last period, students are required to present the discussion group by group. If the topic is complete, teacher will give an introduction on the topic at the last 15 minutes for the following week.
2. Group presentation: each student is required to present their discussion in turn each time. The presentation will be graded on the following element: fluency, content, group collaboration and being well-organized.
3. Individual presentation: Each student is required to make a final presentation about paper concept development and journal selection
The course will be graded based on the following criteria:
