Abstract
Publish or Perish! Publishing is one of very important components for a scholar and faculty members to disseminate their research results. While some of us are frustrated on getting our paper published, we may wonder why some are very successful.

This workshop will discuss the reviewing and publishing process, using IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, as an example. The topic includes the overall process of submission and handling, the review process, the responses to the comments raised by the reviewers, and the techniques to prepare a better readable paper.
