Dateline Dehradun: An authorship workshop was organized at Swami Rama Himalayan University, Jolly Grant. Faculty members and students of the university participated in this one-day workshop.

She also provided information on citation methods and various other indices related to research publications. Furthermore, she detailed the differences between theses and articles, manuscript writing, types of journal manuscripts, selecting journals, submitting manuscripts on the OUP platform, the submission process, the journal publication cycle, understanding open access and its types, and the read-and-publish model.

He mentioned that the primary objective of the workshop was to focus on the methods of publication in Oxford University Press journals.
