Term Research Assignment FAQ’s This is an overview of ques.docxbradburgess22840
Term Research Assignment FAQ’s
This is an overview of questions received regarding the assignment. It is not all inclusive and may be
added to throughout the term.
Q. If I am working on this assignment with a partner, do we both need to turn in an
assignment?
A. No, only one assignment needs to be turned in by one of the partners. Please make sure both
names are on the memo. One of the partners must upload the assignment into D2L.
Q. Do I have to use Word to complete the assignment?
A. Yes. This is another use of what you learned this term using Word. Combine the two parts of the
assignment in to one file. You will be graded on how you used Word as well.
Q. Are there any Word format requirements?
A. Yes, the assignment must be single spaced (DO NOT use the default spacing in Word), with a 1”
margin. The font must be 10 or 11 point Times New Roman.
Q. What exactly should the completed assignment include?
A. The completed assignment is made up of two parts – both completed using Word.
1. A 1-2 page typed persuasive memo – written to Ava Stevens – from you (representing
your business, non-profit, government entity, or committee). This memo outlines HOW
you plan to persuade your audience and what your main persuasive point(s) will be and
how you will back these points up with your research. Basically it is a narrative or
outline of your argument. Think of me as your boss, and this memo is being used to
prove to me that you have the needed information to continue with this persuasion. How
you organize this memo is your choice – but you may find bullet or numbered points
helpful in presenting some of the information. Remember you cannot end a memo with
a list. There needs to be at least a one sentence close to end the memo (don’t just
stop…write for the reader). Don’t forget to use the correct second page heading for the
second page of your memo.
This memo is NOT your entire argument – it is designed to prove you are ready, with the
necessary resources, to write the persuasive argument. Don’t make the mistake of using
this memo to argue your point. Remember to write to your audience – Ava Stevens
– what does she need from you to know you are ready to write the persuasive
argument to your audience?
2. A 2-4 (or more) page typed annotated bibliography – the minimum number of sources on
this annotated bibliography is 6. Of the 6 sources, at least 3 must be from peer reviewed
academic journals. (Information is provided below to explain how to verify if the journal,
and therefore the article, is peer reviewed.)
Each source will have two paragraphs. The first paragraph is an overview of the
article. DO NOT use the abstract to write this – read the article and explain the overall
idea of the article using your own words. You are uploading this in D2L and it will be put
through Turn-it-in. Please don’t earn zero points because you plagiarized. The second
paragraph is WHA.

Impact factor (using impact factor to assess the impact of a journal)shri mangalambikai
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
Impact Factors are useful, but they should not be the only consideration when judging quality. Not all journals are tracked in the JCR database and, as a result, do not have impact factors. New journals must wait until they have a record of citations before even being considered for inclusion. The scientific worth of an individual article has nothing to do with the impact factor of a journal.
Research metrics are quantitative analyses used to assess the quality, impact, and influence of scholarly research outputs. Key metrics include journal impact factors, author metrics, article metrics, and altmetrics. Journal impact factors are calculated based on the number of citations a journal's articles receive. Author metrics measure researcher impact and productivity. Article metrics track citations of individual works. Altmetrics provide broader measures of online attention and impact.
1) Citation analysis is used to measure the impact and quality of scholarly works by counting how often they have been cited by other works. It can be used to analyze articles, authors, journals, and more.
2) Several citation indexing databases and tools exist to perform citation analysis, including Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of coverage and capabilities.
3) Citation analysis data can provide information on the number of papers an author has published, how often their work has been cited, and their h-index score, which considers both productivity and citation impact.
This document discusses various metrics used to evaluate academic journals and research, including impact factor, H-index, indexing, citations, and open access publishing. It describes what academic journals are and their purposes of peer review and sharing new research. It also discusses the rise of predatory journals and how to identify them, as well as advantages and disadvantages of open access publishing. Key metrics for evaluating journals include impact factor, eigenfactor, SJR, and indexing in services like PubMed and Scopus. Metrics for evaluating individual researchers include H-index and citations. The document emphasizes that quality research should be the priority over metrics and impact.
Citation indexes and impact factors are important measures for research. Citation indexes allow researchers to find the impact of articles on later publications and identify the latest areas of research. The impact factor of a journal is calculated based on the average number of citations received by articles published in that journal in the past two years. It is used to measure the importance and rank of journals. Other measures like the h-index, eigenfactor, and z-influence can also provide insights into the influence and quality of published work. Citation analysis using these metrics helps evaluate the impact of authors, journals, and research.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Impact Workbook
____________________________________________
Should you require this workbook in another format such
as large print or Braille please contact us at
jrul.researchers@manchester.ac.uk
3. Introduction
This workbook is to accompany the training session about Bibliometrics.
The book covers the three main providers of citation metrics, Scopus,
Web of Science and Publish or Perish. It does only cover the main
measures, journal impact, to identify the journal titles that are most
worthy to be published in and the ‘H’ Index that measures an
individual’s contribution. It should be noted that other measures are
available, but we are unable to cover all of them here.
The aim of this workbook is to demonstrate how you can find the
indicators using resources that you have access to. This workbook and
the session that it accompanies are not intended to debate metrics
and their use.
The ‘H’ Index
The H-Index is a metric which tries to measure the output and impact of
a particular researcher’s work. The H-index was devised by J.E. Hirsch
in his paper An index to quantify an individual's scientific research
output, arXiv:physics/0508025 v5 29 Sep 2005.
A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations
each, and the other (Np-h) papers have no more than h citations
each.
Eg. Robert Winston has an ‘h’ index of 31 (according to Scopus). This
means that of the total number of documents that are available (68),
31 have been cited 31 or more times.
