If I want to pursue a topic out of my own interest - how do I go about publishing a paper on it (& get it peer reviewed). Are there ways to collaborate with university research labs for example some universities have AI labs but you have to be a student. How do we involve in research while working and publish a paper?
Do you have any research experience (eg master thesis)? If you have never done that, you may (or may not) find the effort is much more that you expect.
Yes there are. Approach your mgmt with your idea and have at ready a list of universities and professors you think might want to participate. This should help get your mgmt to support you. Once you have their support, reach out to the professors and see who is interested in collaborating. From there, you negotiate with professor and your mgmt in terms of who does what.
Thanks so much. So then - the first step is to reach out to a professor and then propose the interest or topic and then connect them with the management? I don’t have a team who will be interested in working with me on the paper yet. But just a rough research topic and methodology in mind.
No first step is you getting a list of prof that you think might be interested. Then you approach your mgmt with list. You're asking permission to make official contact with the profs about research opportunity.
