Join us in this episode of Desi Academia Podcast where we discuss the ins and out of an academic publication. Megh and Vatsal are joined by the friend of the pod Dr. Rituparna Patgiri where they talk about all the basics of an academic publication.

We tackle questions like what is an academic publication, where do we publish, who is an author, what is peer review and more!
