Essential skills in health research and scientific writingDr Ghaiath Hussein
This presentation is of the training on "Essential Skills in Health Research and Scientific Writing" that was help in Soba Teaching Hospital in Khartoum, in collaboration with the Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA).
It was a 4 days training given on a rate of one session per week. It was almost all skills-based hands-on training.
Day 1: The theoretical part was an Introduction to the Knowledge Management Cycle and where research fits in this model. The practical part was how to conduct an online review of literature
Day 2: The theoretical part was about the responsible conduct of research, and scientific misconduct, with focus on plagiarism. The practical part included the installation and the use of Reference Manager, including how to import the references found in the LR (given in session 1) in a database in the Reference Manager software.
Day 3: The theoretical part covered the basics of scientific writing in English. The practical part included writing, and re-writing some pieces, using the provided phrasebanks and verbs 'cheat-sheets'.
Day 4 was on the writing for publication, including detailed description of the peer-review publication model and how it works. We also touched very briefly, due to time constraints, to an overview and two examples of ethical issues in research. The practical part included writing an effective cover Letter to the editor, choosing proper manuscript title, and writing an informed consent.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

11. Mixed Methods
Research
• Any combination of research methods
• Qualitative
• Quantitative
• Participatory
• Action
• Design
• Equal attention to all stages of
research process
• Findings should be iterative &
informative
(Kazmer in Radford & Connaway , 2017, p.
232-233)
12. Triangulation
• Term coined by Webb et al. (1966)
• Multiple methods of data collection
(e.g., interviews – individual &
group, observation, literature,
archives)
• Agree, or at least don’t
contradict (Miles & Huberman,
1994, p. 266)
• Multiple investigators
• Multiple contexts/situations
13. Mixed
Methods
“Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña also
pointed out that although designing
and conducting a mixed method
research project involves careful
planning and more effort in execution,
the benefits greatly outweigh the
difficulties (including philosophical
ones).”
(Connaway and Radford 2017, 229)
14. Justifications for
Combining Mixed
Methods
• Triangulation: convergence, corroboration,
correspondence, or results from different
methods.
• Complementarity: elaboration,
enhancement, illustration, clarification of
results from one method w/ results from
another
• Development: uses results from one
method to help develop or inform another
• Initiation: discovery of paradox &
contradiction, new perspectives /
frameworks, recasting of questions or
results from one method to another
• Expansion: extends breadth & range of
enquiry by using different methods for
different inquiry components
15. Key Questions in
Implementing Mixed Methods
& Multi-Strategy Research
1. Are the methods employed simultaneously
or sequentially?
2. Which method, if any has priority? And why?
3. What is the function of the integration – for
example, triangulation, explanation, or
exploration?
4. Are quantitative and qualitative data
collected simultaneously or sequentially?
5. How do the mixed methods impact on data
analysis – analysis by method & analyzed
sequentially, integrated analysis, cross-
method analysis?
18. Principles for Applying
Outcomes Assessment
• Center on users
• Assess changes in
service/resources use
• Relate to inputs
• Identify “best practices”
• Use variety of methods to
corroborate conclusions
• Choose small number of
outcomes
• Need not address every
aspect of service
• Adopt continuous process
19. Steps in
Assessment
Process
• Why? Identify purpose
• Who? Identify team
• How? Choose
model/approach/method
• Commit
• Training/planning
20. Ethnographic
Research
“a way of seeing how
individuals interact and
behave in situations by
utilizing different
qualitative data
collection and analysis
methods”
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 263)
21. Participant/Immersive
Observations
• Move into the setting as deeply
as possible
• Disturb participants as little as
possible
• Participant observation
• Open, direct interaction and
observation as part of the
group
(Connaway & Radford,
23. Ethnographic
Analysis
• Use people’s own
categories
• Avoid assuming what
one will find
• Complementary to
quantitative methods
(Asher in Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 264)
24. Behavioral
Analytics
• “the widespread use of smart
phones and other smart devices
by researchers for data collection”
• Benefits include emotional well-
being and personalized health
• Watch out for privacy issues:
• Spatial and temporal
information can identify credit
card spending and predict
depression
• Ask: “Would I be comfortable
if I were one of the subjects
of this study?”
(Singh in Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 90)
25. Usability Testing:
Definition
• Degree to which a user can
successfully learn and use a
product to achieve a goal
• Evaluation research
methodology
• Observation and analysis of
user behavior while users
use a product or product
prototype to achieve a goal
(Dumas and Redish, 1993, p.22)
28. Log Analysis
• Can be integrated with other
methods
• Unobtrusively identify user
patterns and systems
• Macroanalysis
• Analysis of aggregate use
data & patterns
• Microanalysis
• Analysis of individual search
patterns
• Don’t underestimate time to clean
data
• Data susceptible to researcher
bias (Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 348-349)
(Jansen in Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 348-349)
29. Text Mining
• “a digital means of reading
across large quantities of
text in a very short time”
• Works best for finding
factual content
• Can be used for
contextual information
• Python and Perl are some
text mining languages
• Need to know sources for
searching
• Need to prepare data for
mining
(Seadle in Connaway & Radford, 2017, p.
350)
32. Publish More!
Advice for Increasing Productivity
• Be open to ideas
• Put 1st things first (set priorities)
• Find your rhythm (what works for you?)
• Work to your strengths and interest (focus &
enjoyment)
• Break into incremental steps (baby steps)
• Set target dates (personal deadlines)
• Create a plan
• Capture ideas (notebook or online app)
• Find time
• Block time for research/reading/writing
• Utilize small amounts of time
• Have multiple projects at multiple stages
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 8)
33. Synergize & Multitask:
Everything Does Double Duty
• Focus on your research interests
• Publish on innovations
• Pilot studies
• Assessment activities
• Submit to scholarly/professional
conferences – poster, paper, panel
• Convert to publication
• Workshops into publication
• Committee work into publication
• Rework papers for different
audience
• Research methodology publication
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 8)
34. Publish or
Perish: How to
Boost
Productivity
1.Wait
2.Begin early
3.Work in brief,
regular sessions
4.Stop
5.Balance
preliminaries with
formal work
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 7; Boice,
2000)
35. Publish or
Perish: How to
Boost
Productivity
6. Moderate over-
attachment &
overreaction
7. Moderate negative
thoughts
8. Moderate emotions
9. Let others do some of
the work (Collaborate!)
10.Limit wasted effort
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 7; Boice,
36. Blockbusting:
What to do When
Writer’s Block Strikes
• When we find writing to be a particular
challenge, it can be useful to ask yourself
the following questions:
• What barriers do I have to writing?
• What resources do I have to overcome
these barriers?
• What articles, topics or books do I want
to write?
• How could I organize myself to write
more?
• What specific steps would I have to
take to have more time to write?
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 11)
37. Blockbusting:
What to do When
Writer’s Block Strikes
• Do something routine (like
checking references) and try
again later.
• Do something else (take a walk!
or a shower!) and try again
later.
• Put your shoes on, if previously
writing barefoot, this has
benefits for some).
• Stop in the middle of a
sentence next time, this
technique helps some to get
going again.
• Use a carrot (a latte if you finish
xyz) or a stick (no latte until you
finish xyz).
(Connaway & Radford, 2017, p. 11)
38. Improving
the Grant
Proposal
• Critical approach
• Sufficient experimental detail
• Realistic amount of work
• Acceptable scientific rationale
• Sound experimental reasoning
• Sound future directions
• Experience in essential methodology
• Knowledge of relevant published work
• Focused research plan
• Conveys an original idea
