Academic staff from the Department of Physiotherapy at Tishk International University actively participated in the National Workshop: Research Insights – From Idea to Research Publication, held on 27 January 2026. The workshop was organized by the Department of Business and Management, FASE, in collaboration with the Research Center Unit of the university. This valuable academic event focused on guiding participants through the complete research process, from developing an initial idea to producing a high-quality publishable manuscript.
The participation of Physiotherapy Department staff in this workshop reflects the department’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence, professional development, and research advancement. The sessions provided practical knowledge on manuscript writing, research types, publication pathways, indexing systems, institutional best practices, and strategies for enhancing research productivity. Such topics are highly beneficial for academic staff, as they strengthen research skills, improve scientific writing abilities, and increase understanding of the requirements for publishing in reputable journals.
A special highlight of the event was the contribution of Dr. Mohammad Siddiq, who shared his valuable experience after participating in the FAIMER Regional Institute program. During the workshop, he presented insights gained from his professional development journey, including his participation in training opportunities in Cairo, Egypt.
