My Ph.D. Journey….. Up, Down & then Up.

We all have heard about the term Doctor abbreviated as (Dr.) – now it depends on what we choose- an academic doctor or a medical doctor. I selected former one and started my doctorate journey. A Ph.D. journey is never easy, and it becomes even more difficult when you are doing it alongside a full-fledge business start-up in Chandigarh. But, there are many factors that helped me sail through in this journey. The first factor was my Ph.D Mentor (Dr. Balraj), Guide (Dr. Rajesh & Dr. Shashi) & support from entire research department of Chitkara University. Special thanks to Dr. Amit Mittal (Pro.Vice Chancellor, Research) for believing in me. In this journey, I have had so much to learn from mentor & guide, not just the technical paths, but most importantly the academic life lessons. I feel grateful & extremely privileged to have such a nice and dedicated team. The Second factor that helped me immensely is the wonderful support I got from my family. My son, born during the midst of my Ph.D. journey, would always help in easing the pressure & stress with his innocence.  Coming back to my Ph.D. journey…. During my journey, I met my first guide Dr. Rajesh in 2016, worked with him for almost 4 years suddenly got a call from guide that he got a government job in Shimla University. Then I was introduced to Dr. Shashi my second guide, who guided me for 3 months then he got a job in IIM K. At that time i pray to god to give me stable guide who can guide till i reach my destination. Finally, I was introduced with Dr. Balraj , who was my guide & mentor who helped me a lot & made it possible till end. Thus, I started my Ph.D journey in 2015-2016; I was happy & at the same time worried, because I was going back to the classroom as a student after a long time. It was 2015-2016, when I started my Ph.D., my new start-up business & lost my father in the same year at that time I found very difficult to handle everything. I still remember my father wordings in 2015, when i got enrolled for my Ph.D. he said TU KAR LEGA NA then he pause for 5 minutes & told I know TU KAR LEGA but meri eyes NHI DEKH PAYEGI, within 15 days from enrollment I lost my Father. I know you are always there with me in the form of blessings. PAPA APKA AMAN DOCTOR BAN GAYA….. YEH DEGREE PAPA APKE NAAM……..Always miss you PAPA. Finally, long journey coming to be end after facing many up & downs but almighty has given the rewards. It took me around 6.5 years to hold the highest level of degree in my hand.  Regards Dr. Aman Jandwani Research Task.

In relation to the extensive spectrum of Scopus-indexed publications encompassing multiple disciplines, finding the right publication by simply browsing the Scopus-indexed list can be a very difficult task for those researching them. Scopus has set up a mandatory requirement for its users to download their preferred publications by providing specific information such as – Area of interest/expertise Title of the specific journal Publisher’s name ISSN code Employing all the aforementioned information correctly will assist the individuals in locating the specific publication cited in the Scopus’ public list.  Obtaining specific information regarding the paper you are seeking for, that includes the above access details can further streamline the process identifying the specific journal. Nevertheless, in case you lack important details about the journal that you are searching for, you could conduct a broader search by directly exploring the specific field of study and conducting a more in-depth search on the topic. This method may take a little longer, but it simplifies the process because Scopus offers various ways to refine your search results based on your subject concept.  Detect Scopus list journals When determining whether the journal on the Scopus public list aligns closely to ones’ work and research, they have to bear in mind several criteria like- The daily readership of the journal The subjects that can effectively be addressed The number of researchers to consider for publication The chances of publishing research papers Its reputation and recognition in particular field/ domain While determining whether you want to submit work to a closed-access paper or an open-access journal, keep in mind that journals that are open-access generally want authors and co-authors to contribute to the processing fees stipulated by the journal in order for their research findings to be published. Formatting of paper as per required journal Begin by carefully reviewing and becoming acquainted with the terms and conditions of service of the publication in which you have chosen to publish your research. Assess previous issues of the publication, examined the articles published in it, and keep a note of the outstanding papers. By integrating each of these steps with a basic knowledge of the journal’s objectives and context, you should have a good grasp on the formatting rules and selected ways of writing for publications in that journal. Upload paper The most important step in preparing your paper so that it complies with the format, style, and tone necessary by the journal in which you seek to publish your work is to upload your final paper.
