“…The author also referred to other studies that found that factors, such as lack of incentives, language proficiency, international recognition and unfamiliarity with publishing systems, make researchers disuse these journals. Hence, it was concluded that the higher education system needs to be reformed and new standards need to be adopted to encourage scholars to publish internationally (Kindelan, 2009;L opez-Navarro et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of a study to explore the Egyptian social science scholars’ academic writing behaviour in local and international context. Understanding the challenges that scholars in social science and humanities face while publishing in the international outlets would help to suggest strategies to improve academic writing in non-Arabic journals. Design/methodology/approach This study deployed mixed methods approach. The quantitative data were collected using an online questionnaire. Interviews were conducted with a group of scholars in the five faculties to elucidate the publishing behaviour of the sample. Findings The interviews and the questionnaire showed that social science scholars in Egypt prefer local publishing outlets. The number of scholars who publish internationally is very low compared to scholars who publish locally. Scholars who tried to publish internationally faced many challenges, such as language barriers, lack of academic writing skills and lack of appropriate training. Research limitations/implications This study was conducted in one university in Egypt. While the results can be generalised to Egyptian and Middle East universities, it cannot be generalised to non-Arab communities because of the differences in culture and education system. Originality/value This study provides insight on publishing practices in the international context among social science scholars in Egypt using a mixed methods approach. This helped to capture the scholarly publishing practices and the attitude toward international publishing and the main challenges that scholars face who attempt to publish in international outlets.

“…The dominance of English in academe and the pressure to publish in top-tier journals is widely accepted internationally as the norm for researchers needing to engage in scholarly communication (Gea-Valor et al, 2014;Kindelan, 2009). These publications also add prestige to the research and is essential to career performance and trajectory, especially those seeking promotion and tenure (Flowerdew, 2008;Lillis and Curry, 2010).…”

“…Another challenge is to avoid procrastination by favoring a predisposition to write about research results [1]. Furthermore, in non-English speaking countries students have to familiarize themselves with the rhetorical characteristics of a foreign language [7] and to assimilate different ways of defining and understanding problems [8].…”

This paper addresses education on scientific publication skills for post-graduate engineering students. In particular, a project-based learning strategy is proposed to lead students through the preparation a research paper. Expected learning outcomes are related to finding and evaluating the quality of references, editing and formatting text in \LaTeX, writing scientific papers with appropriate style and structure, peer reviewing, and making technical presentations. This approach has been developed to increase the internationalization and visibility of young researchers by improving the quality standards of their published works. The purpose of this innovative practice is that students confront the major challenges of the publication process in the classroom, which is in contrast with the traditional self-taught approach experienced by the authors and many senior researchers. The proposed strategy is being applied as a required course in the Master in Mechatronics Engineering of the University of Malaga. This paper offers preliminary results from this experience.
