Early Career Researchers: Comprehensive Guide to Research

Agriculture

The KSI (Keywords Sequence Importance) methodology is a transformative approach designed to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of scientific writing. This methodology focuses on the strategic organization and presentation of key concepts within research papers to improve readability and impact. Purpose: The KSI methodology aims to streamline the writing process for early career researchers by providing a structured framework for identifying and sequencing key concepts. It helps researchers highlight critical ideas and ensure that these concepts are logically and prominently featured throughout their manuscripts. For Whom: This methodology is especially beneficial for PhD students, early career researchers, and academics who are engaged in writing scientific papers. It is useful for both non-native and native English speakers who seek to enhance the organization and impact of their research writing. Less

I have over 22 years of experience in Soil Science and Weed Science, currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Land Management at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, since November 2019. My career began as a Scientific Officer at the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) in June 2001. I have earned a PhD in Agronomy from Universiti Putra Malaysia (2010), preceded by a BSc in Agricultural Science (1998) and an MS in Soil Science (2000) from Bangladesh Agricultural University. In my current academic role, I teach courses such as Fundamentals of Soil Science (SST3005) and Principles of Weed Science (AGR3102) at the undergraduate level, and Scientific Writing and Publication (SPS5904) at the postgraduate level. I have supervised two MS and five PhD students to graduation and am currently guiding five PhD and two MS students. I have led 20 research projects, including seven as Principal Investigator and eight as a co-researcher, with funding from esteemed organizations such as the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, DFID (UK), IRRI (Philippines), and NATP, PARTNER (Bangladesh). My research focuses on Environmental Soil Chemistry, Soil Management, and Agronomy. I have an h-index of 25 with 2592 citations on Google Scholar and 23 on SCOPUS. My publication record includes 123 journal papers (112 in citation-index journals), five books, and 15 book chapters. I developed the Keyword, Sequence, Importance (KSI) model to improve the quality and efficiency of thesis and publication writing. I have received the Excellence Service Award from the Vice Chancellor of UPM for six consecutive years (2017-2023) and earned silver and bronze medals in research paper competitions at UPM in 2010 and 2011. I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Agricultural Science & Engineering Innovation (JASEI), a Guest Editor for Sustainability, and serve as an Editorial Member for Fundamental and Applied Agriculture.
