In the pursuit of academic excellence, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) has taken significant steps to elevate the quantity and quality of its research papers. One of the key partners in this endeavor is Enago, a renowned name in academic publishing support. Recently, UBD hosted a webinar where Ms. Nicole Aryna, a representative from Enago, provided valuable guidelines on crafting high-quality research papers and unveiled the extensive range of services that Enago offers to aid young researchers at UBD.

Nicole Aryna began her presentation by offering insights into the ever-evolving academic publishing landscape. She emphasized the importance of publishing research in reputable journals and the impact it has on a researcher’s career and the academic community.

 A noteworthy statistic she shared was that approximately 75.23% of UBD’s research publications involve international collaborations, highlighting the university’s commitment to global knowledge exchange.
