Bibliometric Analysis Tutorial by Dayu JinDayu Tony Jin
This slide presents practical ways to conduct bibliometric analysis. Based on my own experience on bibliometric analysis research, I wrote this step-by-step guide to help students and professionals who will use citation, co-citation, biliographic coupling techniques in their research. Visit my service research blog for more updates: http://servicesresearch.blogspot.com/
This presentation is useful for all who are preparing their projects in colleges. This presentation helps you in giving proper reference of data source.
While writing your research paper, you might often refer to existing work published by other researchers in your field. However, it is extremely important to acknowledge all such sources clearly and completely. Attempting to use the ideas, words, or work of another person, without giving them due credit, is considered extremely unethical and is termed plagiarism.
This slide deck briefly explains 4 common types of plagiarism in academic publishing, how journals detect plagiarism in research papers, and the consequences of plagiarism.
Zotero reference management tool helps in organizing scholarly references used for writing journal articles, theses, and dissertations, term papers, etc.

This presentation has been used to guide workshops on research and academic writing conventions for upperclassman and first-year graduate students. However, it could be adapted for a first and second year student audience. The content is rich, emphasizing reflection, research/inquiry, as well as grammar. This material also demonstrates how to use new media as part of an overall research strategy. The presentation is designed to be presented interactively with writers across the disciplines, multilingual writers, and any writer unfamiliar with the academic writing process. The content is not linear, as many slides could be clipped and customized for integration into a first-year writing course, or even a session or workshop for graduate student writers of any classification.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

analyse it? How does it fit
within your research?
◉ Write a plan
40. (what?) Packaging designed using unsustainable materials is becoming
a major issue for multinational brands (why?) that exacts an enormous
toll on the planet’s natural resources. Understanding the causes of this
escalation, thus, is an imperative research agenda. This research,
(when?) to be carried out in summer 2015, will survey (who?) a sample
of 30 – 55 year old health and beauty product consumers (where?) in
Hampshire, UK. (how?) It will use a qualitative approach, combining
focus groups and in-depth interviews to identify consumer
perceptions of these issues.

48. RESEARCH PROBLEMS STATEMENT
There is a rising popularity of social media that might help local brands to enable two-
way communication with customers worldwide (Gensler et. al., 2013). However, the idea
of using social media as a powerful brand communication tool is still being
underestimated; almost half of brand professionals did not feel they had the ability to use
social media effectively other than just as a marketing tool (Interbrand, 2012).
POTENTIAL OUTCOME
A design-led strategy and framework that use social media as a platform, in order to improve local brand’s online customer
engagement in order to build long-term relationship with their customers and enhance local brand’s online presence and
experience.

AIM
To create a strategic design-led framework for local brands using social media as a
platform in order to get global customers to build long-term relationship with them.
METHODOLOGY
KEY RESEARCH QUESTION
How can local brands maximise the use of social media in order to be well received in
multiple countries and get the customers to build long-term relationship with them?
OBJECTIVES
1 To study factors that affect brand-customer relationship & review existing branding strategies that influence customer loyalty.
2 To compare and contrast the level of local brands’ current online presence as compared to its physical retail presence.
3 To discover challenges that local brands currently face upon communicating their brands within the social media during the
customer journey experience.
4 To investigate the key variables that different range of social media platforms have, and identify opportunities and barriers
that social media might have as a brand communication tool for local brands.
