Research Process
When you think about a research process, what comes to mind about the first and the last steps? The first step might be identifying the subject to research or a question to answer. Then, you design the experiment and start working on it. Once you have the results, you will write a paper and submit it. When it's accepted and published, that might be the last step.
However, there are other aspects to a research process, such as securing funding, being cited, and making a social impact. Elsevier Researcher Academy lays out the process from these aspects. It starts with funding, covers manuscript preparation, selecting the right publication, navigating a review process, ensuring visibility, and concludes with making a social impact.
It is an excellent resource. Take a look here:
