Getting Published! Exploring strategies, myths and barriers of academic publi...

Prof Simon Haslett

Publications are an important aspect of the work of an academic; remaining the principal vehicle through which research is reported, opinions aired, reviews undertaken, and knowledge transferred, and writing is also a useful learning exercise. For many, it also underpins teaching and curricula, means greater success in research grant applications, and a good publication track record is still seen by many institutions as a key recruitment and promotion criteria. Yet traditionally how to get your work published has not been taught, but learnt through trial and error, mainly from rejection by journal editors. This seminar is aimed at inexperienced academic authors and explores and discusses the issues surrounding the strategy and publication of academic work, and addresses some of the myths and barriers that might discourage would-be authors after the research and writing process is complete.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.

Editor's Notes

Hi this is Dave Johnson in this presentation I'm going to explain Activity 4: How to find what you need.
The purpose of this activity is to help you become information literate. You'll understand how to use Northcentral University’s library. You'll learn how to search databases like an expert. And you'll begin to build a database of sources for your educational/professional interest. The time required to complete this activity could range from 10 to 15 hours depending on how much time you spend learning how to use the library databases and how much time you spend searching for sources. You'll need to fill out a chart that records the sources you found and also prepare a one-page reflection paper. Researching and using library databases is a critical skill to develop. In fact, you will be developing this skill the entire time you’re here at Northcentral. So, it's really important that you learn how to use the library databases, and this activity should give you a good start.
There are several readings for you to do. There is a tutorial called the Northcentral Information Literacy Tutorial for you to take. There is a video for you to watch called Search Like an Expert. There is website that gives you some contemporary research topics in business. And there is a link at the library which provides a reading that explains how to find a research topic.
The graded assignment requires you to conduct a library search for resources in your area of professional interest. You must locate three peer-reviewed journal articles. You can read about what is a peer-reviewed journal compared to a popular source at Library Home > Research Help > Research Process > Academic and Popular Resources. You must locate one book chapter, and one scholarly resource from a scholarly website or other resource. You can read about what constitutes a scholarly website at Library Home > Research Help > Research Process > Website Evaluation
Then, you need to fill out a chart that I add at the end of a Feedback Sheet I send to you on Monday as an attachment. In this chart you record the resources you found using the proper APA citation format; the name of the database you used; the keywords that you used; any search limiters you used in your search such as fulltext, date, peer-reviewed; and a note about your skills using the database and whether you still need to practice.
Not only will you turn in the chart, but you also need to prepare a one-page doublespaced paper about your search and the results. In this paper-and I would recommend that you just use these questions as headings--you need to provide the following: How useful was each database for you? What the important journals or scholars are new ideas did you discover from your search? And how might a library search spark new ideas? Did you find any new ideas and new directions for your search? Was there a direction that you took that surprised you? The deadline to submit the chart and one-page paper is Sunday midnight Arizona time.
I will provide an example using the assignment instructions so you can see what the final product looks like. You can use this as a model and use the overall organization and headings provided. You’ll notice that I provide 3 articles, 1 book, and 1 scholarly website. I cite the resources using APA. Then, I provide a one-page, double spaced reflection paper with the three headings: Usefulness of Each Database, Important Journals, Key scholars, or New Ideas Discovered, How a Library Search Sparks New Ideas or New Directions and Any Surprises. Look for the attachment in the Pre-Activity 4 Letter I send on Mondays.
Here are some tips to help you complete this assignment. First of all make sure you spread out the work and give yourself sufficient time to complete it. Then, you're going to want to read the library tutorials and watch the short videos. Below, you can see the navigation to find some helpful videos: You can watch the search like an expert video. Then, there are a number of quick tutorial videos you can find at the library that are each only 5 min. on various search topics. So, you have plenty of videos to watch that show you how to research using the library databases.
Now make sure that you find each of the following: three peer-reviewed journals, one book chapter, and then one scholarly resource from our website or some other type resource
Make sure that you fill out the chart completely. And then keep your paper to approximately one doublespaced page and make sure that you include the three topics. Again, I encourage you to just use these questions as headings: How useful was each database? What important journals, scholars, new ideas did you discover? And, how might a library search spark new ideas etc.?
I provide a template for you to use in the feedback sheet for Activity 4. I email this feedback sheet to you on Monday as an attachment. I write your assignment right in the feedback sheet. The sheet is a document labeled Feedback_Sheet_Activity_4_Foundations_SBTM.doc. In the document at the end you will find a template containing the chart and headings for the reflection paper. Just begin typing in the template and this will serve as your assignment submission. Please note that this feedback sheet is an attachment to the email I send. It is different from the feedback sheet you available from the course webpage. I have altered the feedback sheet from the webpage to insert the template. I will attach an Activity 4 Example.doc in which I do the assignment myself as a model of a finished product. Look at that document to get an idea of what the finished assignment should look like.
Once you submit your assignment the instructor has four days (until Thursday) to grade and give you feedback. I'm looking forward to receiving your assignment. Remember, developing the ability to use the library databases to find sources for a topic is a critical skill. This is something you will use throughout the time you spend here at Northcentral. So this activity should be a good start.
