In today’s rapidly evolving academic environment – shaped
by AI tools, digital publishing practices, plagiarism screening technologies,
and global research standards – scholars require skills that extend well beyond
conventional research training. This one-month online certification programme
is designed to equip participants with practical, ethical, and career-oriented
competencies in research, academic writing, and publishing within English
Studies and the Humanities.
The course carries the assurance of proven
experience. It was earlier conceptualised and successfully conducted by Prof.
Manu Mangattu on four occasions between 2020 and 2022, receiving an
enthusiastic response from students, research scholars, and faculty members.
Its revival in 2026 arises from
sustained requests from participants across India and from its renewed
relevance in an academic climate shaped by AI, changing publication ethics,
digital scholarship, and evolving research practices.
