| Summary: | These day, early-career academics face greater pressure to publish as a result of the
dramatic shift in higher education, particularly in rising Asia, to compete in the
international ranking league table and the race of scholars towards a metrics-driven
culture of publication. They cannot sustainably or naturally nurture them due to these
challenges. Publishing papers in the reputable journals that the western publishers
support faces a challenge that is frequently referred to as “hegemony and anarchy”. Not
only do academics from the west contribute to this atmosphere of hegemony and chaos,
but elite academics from the east who follow western principles also influence. In these
conditions, novices in developing soil frequently find it diFicult to publish. Nevertheless,
the early-career researcher also lacks exposure, competency, and confidence when it
comes to publishing. A new avenue for publication, known as “open access” provision,
has been made available to respond to the continuous rise in demand for publications.
The beginners try to publish in open access in the current context, but funding shortages
are also a major worry. Because the authors provide the funding for open-access
publications, the quality assurance system experiences criticism. For the novices, this
has led to more severe hegemony and anarchy. The diFiculties that novices face will be
emphasised in this keynote speech, along with some tactical recommendations for
dealing with hegemony and anarchy without jeopardising the researcher's natural and
sustainable development. |
