Dear All,
SLSAJ Research Journal and Research Session - 2007
SLSAJ has
decided to hold its Research Session for the year 2007, namely, RS-2007 on 2nd,
September 2007 in AIEJ Hall, Komaba Tokyo. As you may be aware Research
Session (RS) is potentially the biggest event of SLSAJ though it is only
five years old. Last year, we could send the Annual Research Journal of
SLSAJ to Sri Lankan universities and other research institutions and in
return, SLSAJ has been appreciated very much by those institutions. Our idea
towards this end was to share research activities of Sri Lankan community in
Japan with that of in Sri Lanka.
We kindly invite you to contribute to the RS-2007 through
submitting your papers, in sequel to be published in the Annual Research
Journal of SLSAJ 2007 or doing a presentation. Some of the authors (in some
cases, few non-authors) would be selected and subsequently invited do
presentations for the RS-2007.
To maintain the standard of the research journal the committee of SLSAJ
decided to form a panel for the RS in this year too. The main idea is to
enhance the standard of the papers. This is an ideal opportunity for authors
to get expert advice, important feedbacks, etc. and the Panel would perform
giving every possible encouragements, support, etc for every author.
