From Bahrain to the World: IPA and Enago Join Forces to Help Researchers Take Their Work Global

Bahrain, November 2026 – New collaboration gives IPA-affiliated researchers access to professional editing, publication support and expert guidance through the international publishing journey

Great research does not end when the study is complete. For researchers, the next challenge is communicating that work clearly, navigating the requirements of international journals, and getting it in front of the global scholarly community.

To support researchers through that journey, the Institute of Public Administration (IPA), Kingdom of Bahrain, and Enago have launched a collaboration providing IPA-affiliated researchers and authors with access to professional English editing, publication support and author education.

Through the collaboration, researchers will be able to access services including:

• English editing
• Journal selection
• Plagiarism checking
• Pre-submission peer review
• Journal submission support

A dedicated IPA Author Services Portal will provide a central platform through which researchers can access the services.

The collaboration also goes beyond manuscript support. IPA researchers will have opportunities to participate in workshops, webinars and online support sessions, giving them practical guidance on navigating the scholarly publishing process.

“Research has the power to create impact far beyond where it begins. For that impact to be realized, researchers need the right support to communicate their findings and navigate the international publishing landscape. Our collaboration with Enago is a step toward giving researchers affiliated with IPA access to that support and helping connect their work with the wider global research community,” said H.E. Dr. Shaikha Rana Bint Isa Bin Duaij Al Khalifa, Director General at Institute of Public Administration (IPA) – Bahrain.

For Enago, the collaboration represents an opportunity to bring its publication expertise closer to researchers in Bahrain.

Dr. Zaki Sulaiman, General Manager of Saudi Arabia and MENA, Enago, added: “Every piece of research represents time, expertise and ideas that deserve to be communicated effectively. Yet the path from a completed manuscript to an international journal can be complex. Through our collaboration with IPA, we want to make that journey easier to navigate by giving researchers access to both professional publication support and the knowledge they need to make informed decisions along the way.”

Founded in 2005, Enago has supported researchers in more than 125 countries and provides research communication and publication services across more than 1,300 subject areas. The company also works with universities, publishers and scholarly societies globally.

Under the collaboration, IPA will promote the services across its institutional network, while Enago will provide the technology, services and ongoing author support.

The collaboration reflects a shared goal: helping research originating in Bahrain reach the audiences, journals and scholarly communities where it can contribute to the global exchange of knowledge.
