If you DO NOT know how to combine mutiple PDF files into a single PDF file, you look at the Internet to see how to do it. For example, this site explains how to combine multiple PDF files into a single one in a Windows, MAC, and in a Linux computer. You can also visit this Adobe site to see how to combine multiple PDF files into a single PDF file online for free.


  1. Papers
    DO NOT upload papers, if it is available online. For exanple, if your publication is indexed by SCOPUS or Web of Science, you NEED NOT upload anything. For Print ONLY journal, upload only the first page of the article which clearly shows your name as the author, publisher's name, and the name of the journal. Combine all such 'first pages' into a single PDF file, if possible.

  2. Books
    If you have authored any books, we need the cover page of the book, where your authorship and publisher's name is clearly displayed along with the title and the ISBN. In case you have multiple such books, you should combine the copies of the cover pages of all books into one PDF file, if possible.

  3. Translation Work
    In this case, we need the title page of the work, where your role along with the publisher's name is clearly visible along with the ISBN of the work (in case of a book) or the DOI number (in case of an article). Combine all the pages into a single PDF file before uploading, if possible.
