Under the auspices of Dr. Wissam Hamdan Kazem, Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering,

a workshop entitled "How to publish research in Russian journals for graduate students" was held on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

It was delivered by Ph.Dr. Ali Fadl Baa'yi

as part of the ministry's plan to familiarize and shed light on the experiences of Iraqi scholarship recipients abroad in the methods of publishing scientific research and how to benefit from these experiences in the universities of the countries where they studied. Dr. Ali Fadl also discussed his experience in the Russian Federation, explained the higher education system in Russia, and the method of publishing scientific research within the codes and classifications of general and specific specializations. He also provided a detailed explanation of the classification of Russian journals, which number 6,000 journals registered in the Russian search and information engine E-LIBRARY.RU, and the most important databases they belong to (Scopus, Web of Science).

Additionally, the spotlight was shed on the publishing method for graduate students in Russia and the important criteria adopted in the publishing process for master's and doctoral students.

 Titled "Manifestations of Corruption in Society and Their Impact on the New Generation"

The workshop was delivered by Dr. Ali Fadl Bayoumi, who discussed corruption and how the abuse of official authority granted to individuals, whether in the realm of public finances, influence, negligence of law enforcement, or favoritism, can harm public interest and prioritize personal gain.
