Dr. Saeed was not just my PhD supervisor at Taylor’s University, he was my mentor. He taught me the nuances of undertaking a significant piece of research, publications, and through his mentorship, I was able to land multiple research grants from institutions such as Meta. My research outputs now comprise of 3* outputs as well as other impactful projects thanks to his mentorship. "Acacia361" is his way of mentoring a wider audience, and I wouldn’t just recommend early career researchers to join this program, I strongly believe that senior researchers would greatly benefit from his and the team’s expertise.

Participating in this research publication challenge has been an amazing experience. It equipped me with advanced skills in manuscript preparation, model enhancement, systematic literature review, and ethical considerations in publishing. The one-to-one consultation sessions and the introduction of AI tools were particularly remarkable. This training not only boosted my confidence in writing for high-impact journals but also expanded my global academic network and collaboration opportunities. The hands-on approach and embedded templates stand out, guiding me toward more rigorous and impactful research endeavors.

Attending the Acacia361 research and publication program has been an enlightening journey that has greatly enhanced my ability to conduct research efficiently. Moreover, I learned how the reviewers reviewed the paper that greatly avoid the rejection rate of my own papers. The journey also provided me with an opportunity to interact with other scholars from different backgrounds to learn from each other or to improve together. Last but not least, the program has also helped me to enhance my physical fitness and mental health by adopting an integrated physical exercise session. This dual focus has profoundly impacted my overall ability to tackle research challenges with more energy and tenacity.

I consider myself fortunate to have directly experienced the immense benefits provided by this distinctive program. It equipped me with extensive knowledge and essential practical skills vital for enhancing my research skills and publication abilities. With its detailed curriculum, expert mentorship, and varied learning methods and support, it truly stood out as a program that produces concrete outcomes. Throughout my time in the program, my mentor provided valuable guidance, delivered enlightening lectures, encouraged engaging discussions, and shared priceless research insights. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to partake in such a transformative educational journey.

Taking Acacia361 has been a transformative experience for me. This course is a rare gem in the world of online learning, offering a unique blend of gamification, mentorship, and a supportive community that truly sets it apart. The step-by-step guidance provided throughout my research journey has been invaluable, ensuring I am never lost and always progressing towards my goals. I was particularly impressed by Acacia361's reverse-engineering approach to research and writing. It has made complex ideas accessible and engaging, something I haven't found elsewhere. The community aspect of Acacia361 has also been a highlight. The support from mentors and peers alike has made research not only less stressful but genuinely enjoyable. It feels like being part of a motivated group, all eager to learn and help each other out. It has been an enlightening, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone aspiring to contribute real value in their field and publish in prestigious journals.

I participated in the systematic literature review program and I must say I was thoroughly impressed by Dr. Saeed's professionalism, patience, and meticulous organization. His guidance is provided in a step-by-step manner, making the process of conducting systematic literature reviews remarkably efficient.

This systematic literature review course truly lives up to its name – it's incredibly “systematic”. With clear guidance, you always know where you stand and what steps to take next. For those who are new to academic research, Prof Saeed proves to be an exceptionally patient instructor, guiding you through each stage with care. In fact, he's been so supportive that he's taken on the role of a co-supervisor, even overseeing my proposal defense. It's remarkable how accurately he anticipates the questions that examiners will ask during assessments. Throughout the course, his gentle encouragement keeps you on track, ensuring that you never lose sight of your goals. Joining this SLR program has been an immensely rewarding experience, and I have the utmost admiration for Prof Saeed.

It has been three weeks since we started this amazing programme with Prof. Saeed who is quite experienced and easy-going. In addition to the well-prepared slides and video tutorials, this programme also entails weekly individual tutoring and group discussion sections in which we are guided to learn some hands-on skills on conceiving and writing academic papers, and we are provided with novel insights from the perspectives of journal editors and reviewers. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this programme to those who are aiming to enhance their academic writing skills and gain more knowledge on publication.

An incredibly valuable and user-friendly course! Despite having no background in quantitative studies, I found it remarkably easy to grasp each study point through interactive learning with Saeed and fellow classmates. This course not only provides a comprehensive understanding of deep theories and practical applications but also incorporates physical exercise, fostering both mental agility and physical well-being. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to delve into quantitative studies!
