Philip Sykas - MIRIAD critical literature review
PowerPoint accompanying Dr. Philip Sykas' Researcher Development Programme session on 23-11-16 on the critical literature & practice review.
Researcher perspective
This document discusses the importance of researcher reflexivity in qualitative research. Reflexivity refers to the researcher systematically attending to how their own background and perspectives influence the research process. To practice reflexivity, the researcher should provide their perspective on who they are, their worldview, and their relationship to the research topic, participants, and site. This allows the reader to understand how the researcher may influence data collection, analysis, and findings. The researcher must continually reexamine their perspective throughout the study as their relationship with participants and understanding of the topic may evolve. Questions are provided to guide researchers in critically reflecting on how their identities and experiences shape their research.
Interviewing skills
This document discusses different approaches to analyzing interview transcripts based on the research question and epistemological position. It provides examples of realist, phenomenological, and social constructionist research questions. The status given to the interview text and research question imply an epistemological position such as realism, phenomenology, or social constructionism. Guidelines are also provided for conducting semi-structured interviews and ensuring they are productive and ethical.
Qualities Of A Successful Phd
The document outlines several qualities of a successful PhD student, including the ability to critically analyze and relate academic papers to identify areas for further research. It also discusses understanding the research context, complying with ethics, and justifying methods. Additional qualities include perseverance to meaningfully extend knowledge, tenacity to obtain a tenure-track position, and personal effectiveness through skills like creativity and self-discipline. Strong communication skills, both written and oral, along with self-motivation, curiosity, and a respect for the scientific process are also highlighted as important traits.
Research Deisgn
This document outlines the scientific research process. It discusses both deductive and inductive reasoning approaches. The deductive approach involves first developing a theory and hypotheses and then conducting research to test them. The inductive approach involves first collecting and analyzing data to discern patterns and then developing a theory based on those patterns. The document also discusses developing a good research question, including ensuring it is interesting, important, short, direct and doable. It notes some common sources researchers draw questions from, including personal experience, academic literature and media accounts. Finally, it provides tips for conducting an effective literature review that situates a research project within existing scholarly work.

Quality reviews emphasize objectivity and expertise of reviewers. Relevance examines whether the research addresses important topics and is useful. Leadership assesses whether the research is at the forefront of knowledge internationally. Additional criteria covered include clear focus, thorough research, logical organization and reasoning, proper documentation, and strong writing mechanics. The document concludes by discussing using rubrics to systematically evaluate research papers based on predetermined criteria.
Merriam ch 1 b & b ch 1_5.12.10
This document provides an overview of qualitative research for education, outlining several key characteristics and foundations. It discusses how qualitative research emerges from anthropology and sociology, using methods like interviews, observation, and document analysis to collect descriptive data in natural settings. The goals are to understand social meanings from the participant's perspective through inductive and flexible methods, rather than to prove or generalize hypotheses. The document also briefly traces the history and philosophical underpinnings of qualitative research.
Keep A Record
1) Keeping records of your research through reading notes and a research diary is important for establishing dialogue with others and making your reasoning transparent.
2) Reading notes should represent your ideas on how readings relate to your research problem, rather than just being extracts. A research diary can show the development of your thinking and help with reflection, time management, and planning future work.
3) A research diary should include research activities, readings, data collected, directions of analysis, personal reactions, and supervisor feedback. Notes can be organized into observation, methodology, theoretical, and personal categories.
Researchers learning lives
The document discusses researchers' information literacy needs over the course of their careers. It proposes a model of "7 ages of research" that describes the changing needs and roles of researchers from masters students to experts. At each career stage, researchers have differing conceptions of research, learning needs, information behaviors, and priorities. An effective approach to researchers' information literacy recognizes these differences and focuses on empowering researchers rather than just teaching skills.
Elder regan pbrn festival-12 07 2013
Qualitative methods are used to understand why and how things occur rather than measuring statistical significance or quantities. The document discusses qualitative research basics including developing a research question, selecting participants, and collecting and analyzing data. It provides examples of participant selection methods like maximum variation and key informants. Data collection methods covered include interviews, observation, and document review. Analysis styles like template, editing, and immersion/crystallization are also outlined. Case studies are then used to demonstrate applying these concepts.
B & B Ch 3_5.24.10
- Qualitative researchers collect data by going into the field where subjects conduct their normal activities, building trust without harming subjects, and participating minimally while learning subjects' perspectives.
- Researchers must gain access and permission, establish rapport, be honest about their study and intentions, and not make promises they cannot keep.
- Collecting data involves various techniques like observations, interviews, focus groups, and using tools like audio recorders with permission from subjects. Managing relationships, biases, and exiting the field responsibly are important considerations for qualitative researchers.
المحاضرة الثالثة - سلسلة أساسيات البحث العلمي
The correct strategy is to submit your paper to one journal, and wait to hear if it is accepted. If it isn't then submit it to another journal.
Simultaneously submitting the same paper to multiple journals is considered duplicate submission, which is unethical. Withdrawing other submissions once one is accepted still constitutes duplicate submission. The proper process is to submit to only one journal at a time.

The demands of communication studies research
Research ranks among the most abused concept in the academic circle. Often times, a student who went to the library in search of facts to back up his or her term paper or assignment comes back to announce that he or she almost died carrying out research in the library. In this case, mere flipping through the pages of some books and copying some portions of the books become a research effort.
Again, some people perceive checking for the meaning of a word or an historical fact in the encyclopedia as a research activity (Osuala, 2005).
Research, however, is much more than all these. It is hardly as simple as consulting a dictionary or an encyclopedia to ascertain the meaning of a word or a historical fact that is already there in the dictionary or encyclopedia as the case may be.

The document outlines the overall research process and covers topics such as identifying research areas, the qualities of a good topic, research philosophies including epistemology and axiology, and the different methodologies of quantitative and qualitative research.
Research quality
Here are a few key points to consider in locating your study within a research paradigm:
- Align your research question and methodology - use a qualitative approach for questions of understanding experiences, and quantitative for questions of predicting behaviors.
- Consider the existing literature - does it come from one paradigm or integrate different views? Locate your study accordingly.
- Explicitly situate your study within a research paradigm (e.g. interpretivist). This provides a philosophical framework.
- Consider contrasting your study against literature from another paradigm (e.g. adding qualitative insights to a quantitative field).
- Add a unique disciplinary lens if studying generic concepts. This contextualizes the research.
The literature review is a good

Identification and formulation of research
This document discusses the process of identifying and formulating a research problem. It begins by defining research as creating new knowledge. A researcher spends time refining a research idea into a testable problem by defining a specific problem area, reviewing literature, and examining feasibility. Problems can come from various sources like ongoing projects, data sets, theories of interest, and daily issues. When selecting a problem, it should be interesting, researchable, significant, manageable, and come from known facts. The document provides guidance on narrowing a problem and cautions that preconceptions could influence research. A good problem statement clearly identifies variables and their relationship while specifying the population in an empirically testable way.
An introduction to qualitative research method
This document provides an introduction to qualitative research methods. It discusses the key characteristics of qualitative research, including that it takes place in natural settings, uses the researcher as the instrument of data collection, employs inductive analysis to identify themes, and prioritizes participants' meanings.

RESEARCH PROJECT.pptx
This document discusses research and qualitative research. It defines research as the systematic collection and analysis of data to understand phenomena. Qualitative research involves collecting data in the form of words rather than numbers through methods like interviews and observations. The key characteristics of qualitative research are that the researcher plays an important role, data is collected as words and descriptions rather than numbers, and inductive reasoning is used to analyze the data. Some strengths include an ability to examine issues in depth while limitations include difficulty generalizing findings. Common qualitative research approaches are also outlined.
Graham Harvey Reviewing the Literature Presentation
The document discusses key aspects of literature reviews and critical thinking in research. It covers 3 main points:
1. The purpose of literature reviews is to position the research question within existing knowledge and motivate the research through a critical review of prior work. This helps establish "one coherent overriding 'story' argument".
2. Papers should demonstrate a balance between citing existing literature and presenting their own analysis and voice. It is important to show how the research contributes something new.
3. Critical thinking involves justifying the research through clear evidence and a logical chain of reasoning. More emphasis is placed on intellectual maturity and critical depth than the specific findings.

Pollock and Snow "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape, Session One: Setting Expec...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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

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.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

- 1. ED 574: Introduction to Qualitative Research DR. MELANIE C. BROOKS MCBROOKS@UIDAHO.EDU SEPTEMBER 2, 2014
- 2. Research Implies various methodological traditions and orientations Implies an appropriate research design Implies systematic collection and analysis of data Implies that the research is in an established line of inquiry The word “research” means “to look again” The word “review” means “to see again”
- 3. What exactly is qualitative research? Qualitative research helps us learn about some facet of the social world It takes place in the natural world (not a sterile lab) Uses multiple methods (interviews, observations, and documents) Focuses on context Is emergent rather than tightly configured Is fundamentally interpretative
- 4. Who exactly is a qualitative researcher? Views the social world holistically Systematically reflects on who he or she is Is sensitive to personal biography Uses complex reasoning-multifaceted and iterative Able to explain the basis for each decision in the conduct of the study Documents those decisions so that others can review, comment on, and critique them
- 5. How do I become a qualitative researcher? Read with a critical eye anything and everything related to your topic and your design Be systematic and follow the lines of inquiry. Keep careful notes of design and findings and note the methodological strengths and weaknesses of what you are reading Identify and study exemplars but also seek out studies that are outside your field Find a good mentor and cultivate a support network Ask questions...and identify the unanswered questions Keep your eyes on your goals (Deadlines, publications, career, etc.)
