He said, the best way to communicate consciously is clarity. Therefore, the text and writing should be given the most importance so that it is easy to understand and interesting for the reader. Without patience, persistence and determination, it will not be possible to stick to the path of publication. So, you can’t back down in any obstacle. That is why we must continue to learn in a refined way. New technologies must be embraced. Because this world library is very dynamic. So, we need to be open-minded in learning and sharing with each other citation styles, referencing tools, and online platforms that can improve our research.
Among others, UITS treasurer Professor Dr. Siraj Uddin Ahmed, Dean of Faculty, Heads of Departments were present.
It was informed on the occasion that 12 students of UITS have already passed the written examination at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in China.
