What AAA+ members say:

Prof. Claudia Bautista

I can't express how much AAA program has impacted my academic journey. Thanks to Sam's expert guidance, I was able to mentor my PhD student and publish two articles in top-tier Q1 journals in a remarkably short time – something I never imagined possible. This program provides me with everything from designing research questions to organizing and writing the paper. Sam's support has been invaluable, boosting my confidence and enhancing my skills in the publication process.

Nitin Shrotri

I came across Samira and AAA group through her post motivating researchers to aspire for a Nobel prize. I thought this is something exciting and exceptional. Her clarity of thought, experience and expertise were above par. After I got the details of the program I decided to join it and boy, it was so enthralling, enjoying and at the same time lot of hard work.I owe her a lot. She is terribly passionate,hardworking, a taskmaster, thorough and selfless, giving her best to her mentees. Relentless is the perfect word for her. I recommend her AAA course to all aspiring researchers, it’s HUGE value addition.

Dr. Sharon K. Gechure

As I was taking stock of my first month being a member of your program, I realized that prior to me joining the AAA PROGRAM, I’ve been on a wild goose chase. I’ve learnt so much in just one month from mindset shift to publishing in top tier journals. Thank you for the community , the unwavering support, dedication, guidance, commitment to the whole community and most of all the passion and fire that you carry. It’s a privilege to lead by you.

Prof. Viktoria Dalko

Dear Samira Hosseini, Thank you for staying true to your "One Thing" that continues to inspire and benefit us all! Your practical, well-researched, and proven techniques are truly remarkable and demonstrate their effectiveness across all areas of research. Your work is nothing short of amazing! Grateful for your contributions!

Prof. Nada Eltaiba

The AAA is an exceptional program that helped me explore better ways to advance my academic journey. During the mentoring sessions, I was motivated to work on my research, provided comprehensive feedback on improving the manuscripts, and learned to select high-rank journals for publication. In the sessions, I worked on developing publication plans and techniques to advance my research. One of the main goals of the mentoring program was to develop research leadership skills and strategies. Samira was highly supportive and competent in providing feedback. I mostly liked the rich resources the program provided and the possibility of accessing them at my convenience. There were also weekly sessions where I could join and learn about different types of research. Samira always promptly responded to my messages and questions and provided valuable advice on enhancing my academic profile. I wish I found this program earlier.

Prof. Faisal Sultan Qadri

When I learned little about the Autonomous Author Accelerator, I enrolled in the course thinking it would improve my writing skills; however, it was shocking to learn in the first session that alignment among what we love, what we are good at, what we are paid for, and what the world needs (ikigai) is the first step for reshaping life. The right mindset lesson was like a rebirth. Every session afterward was increasingly amazing. This course not only changes the way we conduct and write research studies, but it also changes the way we think. Just because of the course, I am no longer the same as I used to be. I have become very selective in my activities. I have almost no presence in television shows, withdrew my papers from Q3 and Q4, and am not just trying but doing my best, because now I know MY ONE THING. Though Samira Hosseini doesn't believe much in blind luck, I do. I consider finding her as my blind luck; I knew the other 04 types later. Since words fail me to express my gratitude, soon I will thank her through my actions, by showing my papers published in Q1 and Q2.

Prof. Patricia Caratozzolo

I met Samira in August 2018. She was already the director of the WritingLab, and I was a full professor assigned as her academic mentee. I had never published an article in an Academic Journal. We met for one hour a week via Zoom for a year. During that time, Samira took me step by step to present my research in Educational Innovation in both Q1/Q2 Journals and Scopus International Conferences. Despite my lack of experience and all the major mistakes I made initially, Samira always encouraged me and had messages of support and cheering. Her human warmth, infinite patience, and intellectual humility accompanied my first steps. I can say with conviction that she was the example to follow to define my profile as a researcher. I have nothing but words of gratitude and recognition for Samira. Six years later, I can proudly say that she is my "academic sister".

Dr. Faranak Khosravi

As a Ph.D. student striving to publish a paper, I explored various journals, both high-impact and low-impact, only to face consistent rejections. During this period, I became acquainted with Dr. Samira. Participating in her interview to contribute to the development of her valuable program for authors, the Autonomous Author Accelerator (AAA) program, was a turning point. It's truly unbelievable – after just one hour of insightful conversation with Dr. Samira, she provided invaluable guidance on the crucial parameters for successful paper publication. This experience not only imparted knowledge but also instilled a newfound self-confidence in my ability to publish my paper in a high-impact journal. After discussing my paper with Dr. Samira, I implemented the recommended changes. Subsequently, I submitted it to a high-impact journal, and within two weeks, I received an email detailing major corrections.
