| Summary: | LETTERS: RECENT concerns about the publication of substandard research articles by Malaysian academics has heightened the concerns about the quality of higher education and academicians in the country.

Mentorship plays an important role in sustaining knowledge creation and professional growth of academics towards strengthening and enhancing research quality. |
