Life on the face of Earth today is several times more comfortable than it was centuries before. This all is because of the research carried out overtime by our predecessors. Good research demands good research attitude, and it is an inevitable requirement for meaningful, productive and significant contribution to the existing pool of knowledge. Novel researchers in Pakistan and abroad usually face multiple problems in the process of research paper publication. The problematic areas may include:1) inappropriate temperament for research, 2) incongruous understanding of research, 3) issues in academic writing, 4) unawareness regarding research publication venues, 5) lack of awareness in targeting the relevant research journals, 6) lack of expertise in meeting research journal requirement for publication, 7) fear of plagiarism, and last but not the least, 8) unwillingness for collaborative research because of stereotypical known as well as unknown reasons.
