Why are the conference proceedings not indexed in SCOPUS?
In Malaysia, the SCOPUS indexed conference proceedings have no scholarly value. Hence, the steering committee took a conscious decision to promote only Indexed Journal articles.
I need SCOPUS indexed articles for my API. How can I get help?
Sure, we have several book chapters open which are free of cost and we encourage LGPR candidates to submit their contributions.
Please contact
lgpr@lincoln.edu.my
Can I publish in other SCOPUS indexed conferences?
Surely you can, but it will not be counted by the committee towards the LGPR points table.
If I join this programme what will be my benefit?
You can find future collaborators & potential career mobility.

Is this a valid degree in my home country?
Please note that PhD is the highest form of degree that one can achieve in a lifetime within in the global academic system. Therefore, Postdoctoral research experience is NOT a degree in any country. It is a part of the professional work experience.
Do I have to attend this programme in-person at LUC Malaysia?
No. The LGPR is designed in such a way that it supports your career progression without having to take a leave or resign from your full time job. The LGPR's essence is to conduct research in a hybrid mode.
