ZAHRA August 3, 2010 at 7:01 PM: Hello Dr.Tahriri,

I have a question. I will be grateful if you answer it. I have written two papers based on my thesis and wanna submit them to two good journals.
Shall I write the name of my supervisor as my co-author? I mean ... well... is it a must? Will I be blamed for not including her name even in one of the papers?

I am waiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance for your attention and help.

Cheers,

Zahra
Abdorreza Tahriri August 3, 2010 at 7:21 PM: Hello

If your supervisor has not contributed to your thesis, it is not a must to include her name. However, in Iran it is customary to do so. If you need her help or recommendation in the future, it will be more reasonable to include her name.

Best wishes,

Abdorreza
ZAHRA August 4, 2010 at 7:51 AM: Thanks for your reply

God bless you for being kind.

Cheers,

ZAHRA August 4, 2010 at 8:06 AM: Oh, sorry. One further question:

Are we going to have a national TEFL Ph.D. entrance exam in this academic year?

Thanks again.
Abdorreza Tahriri August 4, 2010 at 10:55 AM: You're welcome. As far as I am concerned, they have such an intention to hold a national exam but it is not finalized. I think they will not be able to operationalize in the near future. You may refer to the site of the Ministry (http://www.msrt.ir) from time to time.

Good Luck
ZAHRA August 4, 2010 at 6:03 PM: Thanks a universe for being kind and helpful.

I wish you luck and happiness.
