Episode 11 : Research Methodology
In discussing how and when objectives will be accomplished, it is important to denote clearly the responsibilities of the various personnel involved in the proposed project.
The Personnel section should describe all professional staff, state how much time each of the staff will spend on the project, and what the specific role of each will be.
In describing personnel, the proposer should carefully point out the competence and experience of each related to his/her project assignment.
The proposal should include resumes for key personnel, emphasizing background and relevant current publications which substantiate personnel ability to conduct the particular project.
Those papers which are in preparation, submitted, or in press, and which pertain to the project should
also be listed. Preprints may be included in an appendix.
It may, in fact, be necessary to prepare resumes suitable for the specific project.
Although resumes need not be included for support staff who play minor roles, it is essential to explain their tasks and to justify their appointments.

Diploma in Ophthalmology (DO) from the then IPGM&R (now it is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University BSMMU) in 1993. Felllowship in Ophthalmology FCPS from Bangladesh College of Physician and surgeon in 1997. Now I am working as associate professor in General Ophthalmology in National Institute of Ophthalmology Dhaka Bangladesh which is the tertiary centre in eye care in Bangladesh.
When I was secretary of Bangladesh Academy in 2011-2012. During my tenure I had pulblished four academic journal. The ISSN of the journal is 1818-9423. I have seen that the format of original article was not maintained. though there was "GENERAL INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS" but many of the author did not follow that guideline. From that time I am trying to build up "HOW TO WRITE THE SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPT" among my students, colleague and senior fellows. and do two workshop about this topic.
I am hopeful if any of you write a scientific manuscript according to this format with correct statistics power and language it will be no longer rejected.

Cette conférence a eu lieu le 18 avril 2023, à l'ESSTIC.
This presentation is intended to novice researchers who are not sure about what they want to research on but want to write a good paper as soon as possible! I used it to insinuate my collleagues into research by making them believe it is very easy!
A literature review is a survey of academic sources on a particular project topic. It gives an overview of the ebb and flows information, permitting you to distinguish significant hypotheses, strategies, and holes in the current research.
A literature review is to show your reader that you have read, and have a good grasp of, the main published work concerning a particular topic or question in your field.

Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
Lot of preparation is required for a typical young faculty while pursuing his/her career. He is constantly challenged and he/she has to excel in various dimensions such as teaching, research, extension/outreach, administration and professional recognition.
This is about the challenges faced by teacher in the scenario of onslaught by digital environment. One needs to tackle it by being sensitive to the needs of the hour and also by properly embracing the technology.
This presents an overview about relevance and significance of statistics as a valid tool in enhancing quality of research. It also touches upon some misuse and abuse of statistics.
a perspective which intergates trusteesip, commmunity and holistic views is proposed for conducting a value based evaluation of supply chains. It is envisage that such a perspective will motivate sustainability for various stakeholders in the chian.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

11. Journal Impact factors
Impact Factor indicates how often articles in a
certain journal are cited within the two years
following the publication date. For example, the
ISI Impact Factor for ABCD in 2015 is
calculated as the sum of all 2015 citations of
articles published in Ecology in 2013 and 2014
divided by the total sum of all articles published
in ABCD in those two years.

18. Preliminaries: Abstract & Title
VITAL! VITAL!
May be all that is read
structure abstract if so required
make it tell the whole story
tell it well; may be all that is seen
will influence editor
title: choose with care (not too clever)
19. Importance of Documentation
It is important to understand the importance of documentation.
One must be comfortable in documentation. You must be in the
habit of writing.
A regular habit is to be formed wherein writing skills are to be honed.
The writing could include: summary of a paper, some observations
about a phenomenon, a critique of the literature, etc.
The following could be opportunities to hone such skills:
Minutes of the meeting between guide and you
Minutes of the proceedings between an expert and you
Observations based on a recent Ph D viva voce attended
Summary of the proceedings of a conference /workshop
attended.
19
20. Proper Articulation
In the end, what matters is proper articulation of
ideas and work in the form of paper
The paper cannot be built upon unless its
components such as background, literature
review, methodology, discussion, conclusions,
etc. are formed and woven properly.
Intermediate findings must be communicated-
may be through conference papers/social
media/notes/journal papers .

22. Visualizing the End First
Taking a clue from Stephen Covey’s habit of “Visualizing
the End First”, one must visualize how his paper is going
to look like and then start preparing for the same.
One must write a tentative outline of the paper to say he/she
visualizes sections in the paper .
The tentative titles of these sections must be written and
one should start preparing folders for each of these sections
Keep revising the contents of these folders as you mature. A
thumb rule could be : revise every week !.
22
23. 10 Tentative Titles
Based on the outline of the broad topic of the
paper , one must write at least 10 tentative
titles of the paper.
Keep revising these titles, as one proceeds.
These titles could be : Some studies on ,
Some Investigations into ----, Development
of a model: A case of …… etc.
23
24. Define the Goal, Timeline and the
Deliverables
One must define the goal , timeline and the
deliverables that are expected from the paper.
He/she may browse through the past work done
by the students of his/her guide and /or work
submitted in his/her
department/institute/university.
This will help in understanding the expectations
from his/her work.
24
25. Collect Relevant Papers
One must collect as many relevant papers as
possible for his/her research.
These could be downloaded from a variety of
sources.
The date and source must be written in the
folder.
One should also not forget to take a regular
back –up of these folders.
25
26. Tentative Classification
A tentative classification scheme of the
literature /taxonomy must be designed.
Accordingly, start analyzing and criticizing
the literature by highlighting the
contribution in each of these classes.
Develop a mental habit of
revisong/reviewing
classification/categorization: This helps in
understanding the literature
26
27. Prepare a list of 25-30 possible key
words
One must also prepare a list of 25-30
possible key words in the broad area of
research.
Then start collecting (downloading) paper
based on these key words.
Keep updating this list
27
28. Prepare a list of 25-30 tools/techniques
Based on the broad are, prepare a list of 25-30
tools/techniques that are going to be used.
Prepare a write up on each of these tools/techniques
based on the fundamental paper on that particular
tool/technique.
These techniques could include: AHP, ANP, GA,
Regression, Factor Analysis, SEM etc.
28
29. Use Proper Vocabulary and Terminology
Befitting to his/her areas of research.
A thumb rule is that a write up on the
Glossary of at least 50 concepts which are
going to be used in the research must be
prepared.
Prof NK Sharma is very particular about this !!
29
30. List of at least 25 Good Journals
A list of at least 25 good journals along
with their impact factors must be prepared.
This list must be utilized in communicating
the research work.
The editorial policy and a sample of at
least 2-3 papers in these journals must be
filed.
30
31. Visualize Contributions
In any research work, the contributions are sought after. One
must visualize these contributions (from the eyes of his/her
examiners) first. These contributions could be:
Methodological contribution (devising a new
method/algorithm)
Critique of the existing literature (wherein an objective
assessment o the literature is done)
Borrowing concepts from one domain to another (like
Genetic algorithm borrowed from biology and applied to
engineering)
Combining apparently dissimilar ideas (from multiple
domains and synergizing these to one’s advantage)
Visualize a bigger picture and be able to work on one or many
of the above. This will strengthen the research . 31
32. Learn to interpret & digest
rejections
Rejection is part of the research process:
don’t get upset !
Take it in proper stride
“Unacceptable” or “Unacceptable in its present
form”; seldom is the harsh word “reject” used
First, remind yourself that you have a lot of company;
most of the good journals have reject rates
approximately (or exceeding) 50%.
Second, read the reject letter carefully because there
are different types of rejections.
32
33. Learn to interpret & digest
rejections (Cont.)
Third type - you probably should consider the
necessary repairs/damage control
Second type - you should probably not resubmit
the same manuscript to the same journal, unless
you can make a convincing case to the editor.
First type - if the manuscript is really bad, you
probably should not resubmit it anywhere, for
fear that publication might damage your
reputation : revisit your concepts /models .

35. Dangers!
Lack of patience
Expectation for quick outcomes
Isolation/sole worker
Suspicion about quality/quantity
False comparison and JEALOUSY!
Pressure of peripheral issues – Emotional Drain!
35
37. Remedy 1: Be Proactive!
Go through OLD THESIS
Entrepreneurial THRIVE
Interaction with GUIDE/MENTOR
Interaction with PEER-RESEARCH scholars
Learn from the mistakes of others – Attend
pre-synopsis , synopsis seminars
37
38. Remedy 2: Be Sympathetic!
Failures and Fear are part of publications
Feeling drained of energy is OBVIOUS!
Receiving rejections is LEARNING!
Little irritation and agony are OBVIOUS!
Be sympathetic to yourself!
Celebrate each small achievement!
Share pain and gain !!
38
39. Remedy 3: Be Courageous!
Learn to DARE!
Think novel ideas and convert into
application!
Challenge/ Criticize views of other
researchers!
Assertively support your work during
your presentations!

43. Enhance citations
Your audience no longer skim journal contents
lists: they use internet searches
Search engine robots search for KEY WORDS
Include them in your title, repeat them in the
abstract, and in section headings, all in as
natural a way as possible.
Also, cite your related publications and those
that cite your work. Make a practice to cite work
of fellow students from your dept/inst
