PUBLISH HELP A breakthrough Free TIIKM project to make your research publication possible. Preliminary reviews for your full paper with the world-class publication "Steering Committee" prior to the conference. One of the major issues faced by novice researchers/authors in the present setting is the lack of perspectives to improve writing for academic publications. "PUBLISHelp" is introduced by TIIKM to help authors develop their full papers before the conference. Once the request has been made, a steering committee member will be assigned to provide the author with developmental comments for the improvement of the full paper.
