FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION (FAQs)

q. Who is this course intended for?

This course is designed for medical students, researchers, and healthcare professionals who wish to enhance their research skills, particularly in the areas of narrative reviews, and systematic reviews.
Students from disciplines for allied sciences like fields of Biology and Pharmacology can also derive value from the Module.

q. How Will I get a Manuscript Published? What are the topics? Where will the manuscript get Published?

Towards the end of the Research 101 module, students will be asked to:

Attempt a short skill testing based on everything that was taught over the module.
The skill testing would be graded and the winners would be allowed to pick Research topics of their choice and lead a team as the first author.

(Our mentors have a list of PubMed and Scopus indexed journals that are valued. Some of them are Free of cost and do not require a fee during submission, the Article Processing Charge (APC). While SWRGs are free add-ons to the Research 101 course, the Article Processing Charges are not included in the fee of the Module)

Q. Is a publication guaranteed upon application? Why is the module paid

The Research 101 workshop is designed to teach students the essence of Review Research and help them get their first publications. The Charaka Project charges a small fee to incentivise the Mentors who invest their time and energy in creating the resources under the module.

We follow a simple course of action where we train students and then help them develop their protocols that are then acted upon by the applicants based on the insights the module offers. Students are helped with creating a framework a timeline and a plan which when worked upon would result in a manuscript that is then submitted to a journal.

The Publication of the Manuscript depends on the team's actions and hence requires constant zeal and motivation to finish what was started. The Charaka Project guarantees to help students finish the manuscript and ensures everything needed for a publication has been acquired. Manuscripts that are being worked on must be completed to have them published. The Charaka Project ensures that it acts as a guiding beacon to make the entire process, from training to tasks, seamless.
