Following the success of the 2019 and 2020 research camps, IAIS Malaysia, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, organised its annual “Research Camp for Academic and Policy Research” via online on 22-23 June 2021. The camp provided researchers, lecturers, and postgraduate students with in-depth insight into how to produce high-quality academic papers and manage academic references efficiently.

During the two-day event, participants learned the basics of how to formulate policy issue papers, utilise the Oxford style of writing, write newspaper articles, reference Islamic sources, and manage academic references.
