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.
