Theveli International Conference 2025 organised a post-conference workshop titled “Review Smart, Cite Confidently for Academic Excellence” on 21 August 2025, focusing on academic writing, research literacy and responsible scholarly practices. The workshop, facilitated by Dr. Rukhsana Ahmed, was designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers.

The workshop covered key academic writing skills, including critically reviewing scholarly articles, searching for relevant sources, synthesising information and applying citation styles correctly. Through practical guidance and group activities, participants were introduced to common academic writing pitfalls and ways to avoid plagiarism.

The workshop also addressed the importance of proper referencing and responsible use of academic sources in maintaining academic integrity and producing credible scholarly work.

Through this initiative, The Maldives National University (MNU) contributed to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, by promoting relevant academic and research skills in higher education and supporting opportunities for lifelong learning.
