It covers how to analyze a research topic, key indexes and databases for current information like Engineering Village 2 and Scopus, understanding citations, and an introduction to library services. The learning outcomes are to better analyze research topics, use appropriate sources for current information rather than Google Scholar alone, understand citations, and learn about additional library services. Demonstrations are provided of databases and other resources.
Bibliometrics
This document provides an overview of bibliometrics and discusses several key bibliometric techniques and laws. It begins with definitions of bibliometrics and related terms. It then describes various bibliometric techniques including citation analysis, citation indexing, self-citation, publication counts, direct citations, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation coupling. Several bibliometric laws are also covered, such as Bradford's law of scattering, Lotka's law, and Zipf's law. The document concludes by discussing the foundations and uses of bibliometric studies, which include measuring relationships between authors, journals, and fields as well as research evaluation and management.
Apa citations
This is my original APA citations PP that I created when 5th went to 6th. Much more tutorial based. Meant to be read on its own.
Science citation index
The Science Citation Index (SCI) was created in 1960 by Eugene Garfield to allow searching by cited references. It has since evolved into the Web of Science database, which provides access to multiple citation indexing databases covering science, social science, arts and humanities journals. Web of Science allows searching by author, cited references, and keywords to find relevant research and analyze impact metrics like citation counts and the h-index. Access is generally through institutional subscriptions.
Scientometrics
This document proposes a framework to quantify researcher diversity and its impact on productivity and awards. It suggests measuring diversity using Shannon entropy based on researchers' publication topics classified with MeSH terms. Higher diversity is correlated with lower productivity but higher awards. Future work could involve larger datasets and distinguishing specialists in the "long tail" from generalists at the "head of the tail".
Bibliographic coupling
The document discusses bibliographic coupling, co-citation coupling, and obsolescence. It defines bibliographic coupling as the relationship between two works that cite a common work, and co-citation coupling as the relationship between two works that are both cited by a third work. It outlines criticisms of bibliographic coupling and describes how co-citation coupling and author co-citation analysis evolved as alternative methods. Uses of bibliographic coupling include finding related research and understanding the development of new subjects. The document also defines obsolescence as the reduced use of information over time, and lists reasons for and criteria to measure the declination in usage of information.
BIBLIOMETRICS LAWS
The document discusses bibliometrics and bibliometric laws. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to bibliographic information, and discusses its origins and objectives. Three important bibliometric laws are covered: Lotka's law describes the frequency of publication by authors, Bradford's law explains the scattering of articles across journals, and Zipf's law concerns the frequency of word usage. In conclusion, bibliometrics is an important tool in library and information science for studying information processes and flows.
Introductionto bibliometrics
This document provides an overview of bibliometrics and scientometrics. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other media, and scientometrics as the application of quantitative methods to analyze science as an information process. The lecture covers the history of bibliometrics, key data sources, basic metadata used for indicators, and four types of bibliometric indicators: research activity, research profile, research collaboration, and impact on further research. It also discusses the use of bibliometrics in evaluating the social sciences and humanities as well as research assessment.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

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.
