THE JOURNAL OF PEDAGOGY, TECHNOLOGY AND SYNERGY (JPTS)

The Journal of Pedagogy, Technology and Synergy (JPTS)
In order to achieve something on the notion that research is an integral component of the academic life at PACIFICTECH, a special issue of the refereed journal of The Journal of Pedagogy, Technology and Synergy (JPTS) will be released aside from the yearly publication. Both print and online versions will be available for researchers, faculty and students. They can obtain the full-text materials through the OPEN JOURNAL System of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) even before its print publication date. \"Scholars need the means to have a new generation of journals committed to open access and to help existing journals that elect to make the transition to open access...\" (Budapest Open Access Initiative 2002). A seminar-workshop on Getting Research Papers Published in Refereed Journals is a regular short course for faculty members of TVIs and HEIs. The objectives of the one-day Seminar for the faculty development program of PACIFIC TECH are as follows:
1. To consider the range of work of faculty attendees that can be published in refereed or peer-reviewed journals.
2. To explain how to get started as a faculty researcher-author.
3. To explain how to avoid the factors that will contribute to failure to publish or better known as immunity to PoP Syndrome.
4. To demonstrate how to plan a publishable paper (participants are required to bring with them a sample unpublished manuscript of a recent research work).
5. To explain how to write the proposed paper for publication in a newly-established refereed journal of Pacific Tech Institute known as The Journal of Pedagogy, Technology and Synergy better known as JPTS.
6. To elaborate on how to deal with a refereed or academic journal.
7. To discuss further work on the research topics presented by the participants.
Several researchers, professors, scholars and other specialists are being approached by PACIFIC TECH to support this research publication journal as members of the Editorial Board and referees.
