Introduction to the Research Tools: Tools to Enhance Research Visibility and ...Nader Ale Ebrahim
Researchers are more likely to read and cite papers to which they have access than those that they cannot obtain. Therefore, disseminating and improving an article's impact is an essential phase of the publication life cycle. However, most of the researchers stop their work after publishing their article and do not give any thought about the importance of their research visibility and impact. There are several “Research Tools” available on the internet that enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicize research outputs. In this webinar, you will find some tools that will help you to collect, write, publish and enhance the visibility and impact of your research.
How to Use Bibliometric Study for Writing a Paper: A Starter GuideNader Ale Ebrahim
Bibliometric analysis is an essential statistical tool to map the state of the art in a given area of scientific knowledge. Bibliometric is one family of measures that uses a variety of approaches for counting publication, citation, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, keyword co-occurrence, and co-authorship networks. Bibliometric methods involve the use of several tools that can help researchers to identify a relevant and current research problem. Bibliometric paper can be written before writing a literature review article and at the introduction section of any research papers. Researcher who develops a research project based on bibliometric analysis has the possibility of presenting the objectives and methods of his work clearly and concisely. In this workshop, you will learn “How to Use Bibliometric Study for Writing a Paper”.
Ways to Increase Research Visibility, Citation, and H-indexNader Ale Ebrahim
H-index is a common index for assessing the output and impact of researchers, departments, and universities. H-index will increase by citation of academic papers that also can be influential in improving the university ranking. One of the key ways to increase citations is to expose the research output to the widest possible audience. Publishing a high quality paper in a scientific journal is only half the way of receiving citations in the future. The rest of the journey is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”. Citations to an article strongly depend on the visibility, rather than the merit of the article. Researchers have spent plenty of time and effort on writing their research for publication. However, most of the researchers stop their work after publication. Dissemination and archiving an article is an essential phase of the publication life cycle. There are tools that help to increase citation, H-index and research visibility. Effective use of these tools, which will be elaborated in this webinar, can result in increased visibility and, thus, improve the paper citations, sequentially researcher H-index, and university ranking.

How to Improve Research Visibility and Impact: Session 6, Document publishingNader Ale Ebrahim
Unpublished papers, white papers, datasets, and teaching materials can be a source for increasing the author’s visibility. Getting author's documents (the full range of work produced by scholars and researchers) under control is a key driver to enhance research visibility and impact. With document and data publishing tools, authors can put all of their key research outputs online where they're immediately accessible to the researchers that need them. Previous studies have found that papers with publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data. In addition, new research has found that by putting your research data online, you’ll become up to 30% more highly cited than if you kept your data hidden. In this workshop I will elaborate the advantages of sharing research data and introduce some relevant “Research Tools” for document publishing.
“Research Tools” can be defined as vehicles that broadly facilitate research and related activities. “Research Tools” enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has collected over 700 tools that enable researchers to follow the correct path in research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more accuracy and efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled “Research Tools”, which is updated periodically.
Higher education is increasingly becoming a global business. The main factor to distinguish between different universities is university ranking. Numerous university ranking systems directly or indirectly rely on research visibility and impact. The visibility for high quality research and publications are usually high. However, very few researchers may do high quality research that causes them to receive well-known awards like the Nobel Prize. The majority of researchers are doing moderate quality research, which needs to be promoted well for being visible and getting impact in the future. In this webinar, Nader elaborates the effect of research visibility and impact on university rankings and introduces some “Research Tools” which allows the researchers and universities to increase the research impact and visibility for their publications.

Open Science, Why not?
Presented at the Agreenskills meeting
Paris, 15 February 2017
Abstract: Imagine YOUR research some time in the future! Abandon all preconceptions, and imagine an idealised way of how research might be done in the future. What does it look like? Is the knowledge you’ll create in the future constrained to your pencil scribbled notebook, to your lab, and to the pages of an elite journal? Or does it flow seamlessly across disciplines and collaborative teams. Is the knowledge you generate in the future categorised, labelled and published according to rigid disciplinary taxonomy, or is it being applied by people you never met and may never meet. Is the fruit of your labour so discoverable, accessible and re-usable that it advances knowledge, fixes real world problems in research directions that you never thought of possible anticipated? And imagine all that happens even while you are sleeping, but attributing full credit to you? That future may become the default setting sooner than you might guess.
The presentation will briefly introduce Open Science in the context of an open, transparent, re-usable and reproducible research lifecycle, and present strategic and career arguments, such as why research of relevance to societal challenges can not afford not to adopt Open Science as the default setting.
Improve Research Visibility and Impact by Contributing to WikipediaNader Ale Ebrahim
Research visibility refers to how well other scientists publicly know you and your research. We all want to be known in our research area as a good scientist. Wikipedia is a tool for collaboration, information sharing and knowledge/content management for improving research visibility and impact, which anyone can edit. Wikipedia is widely used by students during the research process. So, due to Wikipedia popularity, contributing to the Wikipedia website is one way of increasing research visibility and impact. In this workshop, I will try to explain about the ways of posting in Wikipedia and its effect on the research Altmetric score.

Citation Tracking: Enrich Research Visibility and ImpactNader Ale Ebrahim
Citation tracking is used to discover the most influential articles and how often researchers own published papers are cited. Citation tracking allows you to find out which bits of your work are appreciated and used by other academics. As a general rule, high quality articles attract a greater number of citations. There are some indexing services which keep track of citations; however, no single database covers all works that cite other works. Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Google Scholar, ResearchGate, are some examples of Citation Tracking tools. In this webinar, I will introduce some important tools for tracking your scholarly output citations and know how often (and by whom) your paper has been cited already?

The number of citations a paper receives helps to determine the impact of your research. Even if your research is excellent, if no one finds your paper, it won’t be cited. Similar to a company for marketing a retail product, Academic Search Engine Optimization (ASEO) of your journal papers is important to market your research findings. ASEO is almost obligatory if you would like to increase readership of your papers, increase citations and acknowledgment and to create an overall stronger academic visibility, both offline and online. By optimizing your articles, you guarantee that your articles are indexed and gain a higher ranking in general and academic search engines, such as Google Scholar. This presentation provides guidelines on how to optimize scholarly literature for academic search engines like Google Scholar, in order to increase the article visibility and citations. The closer your paper is to the number one search result, the more likely it will be read.
Research Skills Session 4: Evaluate a paper qualityNader Ale Ebrahim
Assessing the quality of a paper is a challenging issue. So, there is a requirement to evaluate a paper based on some other metrics which cover many aspects of publication quality. The quality of the article can be estimated by many aspects, such as, the number of citations, the journal IF, the author h-index, the Altmetric score, number of views, and the paper content itself. The workshop concentrates on how to evaluate and measure a paper quality by introducing some indicators.
Writing for Impact: How to Prepare a Journal ArticleNader Ale Ebrahim
You should write an article not just to get an acceptance but also for the impact it’s going to have. Science is all about impact. However, researchers' first priority is to publish in a high ranked journal and they only think about the publication itself and do not give any thought about the importance of publication impact. Even if your research is excellent, if no one finds your paper, it won’t be recognized. By optimizing your articles, you guarantee that your articles are indexed and therefore will gain a higher ranking in general and academic search engines, such as Google Scholar. In this webinar, you will be introduced to some tools that will help you achieve your goal in preparing a manuscript with the highest possible chance of getting accepted and having an impact.

Assessing the quality of a paper is a challenging issue. So, there is a requirement to evaluate a paper based on some other metrics which cover many aspects of publication quality. The quality of the article can be estimated by many aspects, such as, the number of citations, the journal IF, the author h-index, the Altmetric score, number of views, and the paper content itself. The workshop concentrates on how to evaluate and measure a paper quality by introducing some indicators.
Writing for Impact: How to Prepare a Journal ArticleNader Ale Ebrahim
You should write an article not just to get an acceptance but also for the impact it’s going to have. Science is all about impact. However, researchers' first priority is to publish in a high ranked journal and they only think about the publication itself and do not give any thought about the importance of publication impact. Even if your research is excellent, if no one finds your paper, it won’t be recognized. By optimizing your articles, you guarantee that your articles are indexed and therefore will gain a higher ranking in general and academic search engines, such as Google Scholar. In this webinar, you will be introduced to some tools that will help you achieve your goal in preparing a manuscript with the highest possible chance of getting accepted and having an impact.

Abstract
The internet era, large-scale computing and storage resources, mobile devices, social media,
and their high uptake among different groups of people, have all deeply changed the way knowledge
is created, communicated, and further deployed. These advances have enabled a radical
transformation of the practice of science, which is now more open, more global and collaborative,
and closer to society than ever. Open science has therefore become an increasingly important topic.
Moreover, as open science is actively pursued by several high-profile funders and institutions, it
has fast become a crucial matter to all researchers. However, because this widespread interest in
open science has emerged relatively recently, its definition and implementation are constantly
shifting and evolving, sometimes leaving researchers in doubt about how to adopt open science,
and which are the best practices to follow.
This article therefore aims to be a field guide for scientists who want to perform science in the
open, offering resources and tips to make open science happen in the four key areas of data, code,
publications and peer-review.
The Rationale for Open Science: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
One of the most widely used definitions of open science originates from Michael Nielsen [1]:
“Open science is the idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as
is practical in the discovery process”. With this in mind, the overall goal of open science is to
accelerate scientific progress and discoveries and to turn these discoveries into benefits for all. An
essential part of this process is therefore to guarantee that all sorts of scientific outputs are publicly
available, easily accessible, and discoverable for others to use, re-use, and build upon.
As Mick Watson has recently wondered, “[...] isn’t that just science?” [2]. One of the basic
premises of science is that it should be based on a global, collaborative effort, building on open
communication of published methods, data, and results. In fact, the concept of discovering truth by
building on previous findings can be traced back to at least the 12th century in the metaphor of
dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants: “Nanos gigantum humeris insidentes”1.
While creativity and intuition are contributed to science by individuals, validation and
confirmation of scientific findings can only be reached through collaborative efforts, notably peer-
driven quality control and cross-validation. Through open inspection and critical, collective
analysis, models can be refined, improved, or rejected ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
