How to save your time with effective search strategy!

The search can be time consuming and sometimes tedious task. How can make it easier? How do deal with situations such as:



"I just join as new postgraduate students and I am not sure how doing a literature search, What is a literature review?, Where do I begin in conducting a literature review?” 

"I have been in research for some time now but I spend a lot of time to get the articles I want., What are the best materials to include in my review and how do I locate them?, Is it worth my time to search the Internet for the literature?”
 

"I am sure I have downloaded the article, but I am not able to find it”
 

"I wanted to write a new paper, how can I manage the references in the shortest possible time?”
 

"I have many references, some of my old papers, and some of my current research. Sometimes, they are so many that I can't recall where I have kept them in my folders!”
 

"I have written an article and I am not able to find a proper Journal, Are there any shortcuts for identifying a journal for submission?”

"I want to increase the citation of my papers, how do I do?"



We need an effective search strategy can save hours of wasted research time and provide a clear direction for your research. The benefits of attending this workshop are numerous and include learning how to change the direction of searching to discover and how to use more efficient the tools that are available through the Net."Research Tools”enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize, mobilize and create creative outputs. The benefits from using "Research Tools”can be summarized as helping researchers keep up to date with current developments in their chosen field, up to date information on what is regarding as interesting and stimulating by recognised professors, the ability to choose high-quality relevant papers related to the researchers field, evaluating other researcher and journals, publishing in appropriate journals, increased visibility for publications and access to important writing tools for editing, paraphrasing and summarizing.Writing your thesis or academic paper can be daunting enough but, with the use of the "Research Tools”what seemed virtually impossible will become true to any researcher.

Sharing research results is both an obligation and an opportunity. Since there are many considerations when a study concludes, Dr. Nader provided several"Research Tools” to help with the publication process and ideas for dissemination beyond publishing in a research journal. Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is only the mid point towards receiving citation in the future. The balance of the journey is completed by advertising and disseminating the publications. Familiarity with the tools allows the researchers to increase their h-index in a short time. H-index shows the academicians influence in the specified field of research. Therefore, an academician with a higher level of h-index is deemed to have publications of higher quality resulting in higher citations.

With the use of "Research Tools” the whole painstaking process of your research will be simplified and made easy, leaving you free to use your time for discovering.
 


We would like to invite you to participate in the workshop as follows:

What is LateX?


LateX is a typesetting language that can be used for

  •   Easy formatting –change formats in minutes
  •   No runaway figures or tables
  •   Fabulous typesetting of maths
  •   Good 'global control' for managing large documents
  •   Very machine –independent
  •   Very 'programmable'
  •   At the source file level, very small and memory friendly
  •   Free



A few benefits that you can get using Latex in writing thesis and journal paper which are:

  •  Understand in using LateX editor to create and maintain your LateX documents
  •  Can add LateX markup to achieve your formatting requirements
  •  Typeset LateX documents, correct simple formatting errors, and display or print the results. 
We have good news to share with you that we would like to organize one workshop that can help you to understand more about this method which is ”One Day Workshop on Writing Thesis & Journal Paper with Ease using LateX”

     Date: 14 June 2014 (Saturday)
     Time: 8.30 am – 5.30 pm
     Venue: MPWS Training Centre, Seksyen 7, Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor

What is good about Latex?

What is good about Latex?
Why would anyone use Latex? Here are some good points:
  • Superior typographic quality. The main reason I use Latex is it produces output that is, typographically, far better than any of the alternatives. Latex has excellent built-in fonts, good algorithms for automatic spacing and the ability to fine-tune the spacing arbitrarily. Bad typography gives a bad first impression and reflects poorly on the content of a document.
  • Output device independence. MS Word has (what it is considered to be) a bug, where the formatting applied to a document depends on the printer designated as "current". Latex has no such misfeatures.
  • Compatibility with revision control. Because .tex files are plain text, the revision control software can be used to remember the history of changes. Off-the-shelf revision control software has features that far exceed MS Word's built-in history mechanism.
  • Portability. Latex runs on virtually any operating system in existence. MS Word only works on Windows, and even OpenOffice does not run on all Unixes (though that is improving).
  • Document longevity. Latex documents written 10 years ago still work and still produce the same output as they did when originally written. In contrast, Microsoft uses version evolution as a strategic tool to force people to upgrade continuously, so MS Word documents are typically useful only for 3-4 years.
  • Macros and other programmatic features. Latex lets can define define macros, canned sequences of text and/or markup, that can then be used repeatedly. It's much better than copy+paste since it can be changed by changing just the definition. Even more, Latex allows people to write programs in their documents, which is handy on occasion (mostly for people who already know how to write computer programs).
  • Mathematical typesetting. Typesetting mathematics is why Tex was first created, and Latex continues to excel at this task.
If you are interested to LEARN and KNOW more about LaTeX, you can join our workshop.
