Recently I came to know about  AUTHORAID  It will be very helpful to you. 

Thank you sir 

its great help

First you read full articles from reputed journals. If you do not have print journals then read articles from

online journals. After reading the articles, the idea will automatically  create in your mind. Read papers form annals of library and information studies and Desidoc journal of library and information technology.

 

Dear Sri Kalveer,

Thanks for your post.

May I request you to please go through the editorials of LIS LInks Newsletter. I believe that you will find answers to some of your questions.

I have noticed that you have asked for some topics. But pardon me; do you really think that you can write on any topic suggested by forum members? If yes, then it is absolutely wonderful but since you have "no idea of how to write and publish" I believe that asking for topics will be be sort of "Too Heavy" for you at this hour. On the contrary, why don't you select a topic by yourself? Say for instance, take any contemporary issue which is bothering or inspiring you? Start writing on them. Not necessarily you will be doing it for publication but to start practising writingI'm sure that if you do with three four issues sucessively, you will certainly develop writing skill. I am telling this from my personal experience.

In our time, when there were no e-materials, as a librarian in a busy Medical Research library,I often faced problems in acquiring articles of various foreign journals  or reprints of foreign articles. The very first article of my life was "International Cooperation for availability of Reprints: Proposal from a Third World Country"  which was published in the proceedings of 5thInternational Congress of Medical Librarianship held at Tokyo where I personally presented the paper and had great discussions with my peers throughout the world!! So, you see, the issues which make you concern in real life situation should be your stepping stone in academic writing.

I hope I could explain the insight of your issue.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray

Thank you..it helps me too

I received the following response in an Email.

Regarding the query on how to write and publish articles, I would like to give the following suggestions:

Identify a topic related to your work. Do a literature search on it and little systematic, methodologically sound research on the topic.

Look at the websites of various journals and select a journal in which your topic will be acceptable.

Write systematically in numbered sections. Provide references in the prescribed format.
Do not copy paste from elsewhere - it is illegal.

Check your article for errors before sending off.
