Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research

Interdisciplinary research (IDR) can be one of the most productive and inspiring of human pursuits—one that provides a format for conversations and connections that lead to new knowledge. As a mode of discovery and education, it has delivered much already and promises more— a sustainable environment, healthier and more prosperous lives, new dis- coveries and technologies to inspire young mi…

Measurement Problems in Criminal Justice Research

Accurate, reliable, and valid measurement of crime and criminal vic- timization is becoming increasingly important. American anxiety about violent crime remains high even when rates are plummeting. However, rates of violent crime are again on the rise, and as advances in technology continue to make the world ever smaller, new types of crime are emerging. This workshop grew out of a need to d…

Responsible Research: A Systems Approach to Protecting Research Participants

The current extraordinary advances in basic biomedical and social sci- ences have unprecedented potential to improve the human condition. These insights, together with the human genome project and its successor proteomics, will require an enormous commitment to translational research to harvest their applications for medicine and public health. The progress in political and social theory, lin…

Research Ethics in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies

Situations involving conflict and forced migration have become in- creasingly commonplace in today’s world. The need to understand the causes, consequences, and characteristics of these situations is creating a burgeoning field of research. But given the nature of complex emergency settings, traditional research guidelines may be inappropriate. The research and policy community has recognize…

How to write a research journal article in engineering and science

Writing a research article can be a daunting task, and often, writ- ers are not certain what should be included and how the information should be conveyed. Fortunately, scientific and engineering journal articles follow an accepted format. They contain an introduction which includes a statement of the problem, a literature review, and a general outline of the paper, a methods section detai…

Scientific Research in Education

No one would think of getting to the Moon or of wiping out a disease without research. Likewise, one cannot expect reform efforts in education to have significant effects without research- based knowledge to guide them. Scientific research in education can shed light on the increasingly complex and performance-driven U.S. education system. Such research covers a wide range of issues, includi…

EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

Research purifies human life. It improves its quality. It is search for knowledge. If shows how to Solve any problem scientifically. It is a careful enquiry through search for any kind of Knowledge. It is a journey from known to unknown. It is a systematic effort to gain new knowledge in any kind of discipline. When it Seeks a solution of any educational problem it leads to educational research.

Research Design and Methodology

This investigation was concerned generally to see how new technologies come into the everyday lives of different people, and how in turn these people engage with these offerings: the way they are appropriated, including adoption, learning and struggling, but also other strategies for non-adoption, or arms length appropriation. Particular issues include the influence of knowledge, use and re…

Step'by-step guide to critiquing research. Part 1: quantitative research

When caring for patients it is essential that nurses are using the current best practice. To determine what this is, nurses must be able to read research critically. But for many qualified and student nurses the terminology used in research can be difficult to understand thus making critical reading even more daunting. It is imperative in nursing that care has its foundations in sound rese…

Citing Your Research Using MLA or APA Style

There are several different sets of “rules” that academics use for citing research. The two most commonly used in writing classes and used by academics working in the humanities (things like English, history, philosophy, Women’s studies, and education) and the “soft sciences” (psychology, sociology, political science, and so forth) are the guidelines of the Modern Language Associa…

Textbook Methodology: Undergraduate Research Methods as Depicted in Textbooks

As participants in the Teaching and Learning Conference in past years have become aware, there is no single unified approach to teaching the subject of research methods at the undergraduate level—or even to the more basic question of whether or not such a course should be required of students. This heterogeneity appears to be at odds with the fairly homogeneous approaches used in the instr…

Design Science Research in Information Systems

This page is dedicated to design science research in Information Systems (IS). Design science research is yet another "lens" or set of synthetic and analytical techniques and perspectives (complementing the Positivist and Interpretive perspectives) for performing research in IS. Design science research involves the creation of new knowledge through design of novel or innovative artifacts (thing…

BASIC LEGAL RESEARCH TECHNIQUES

This chapter is intended to serve as a guide for public librarians assisting users who have legal reference questions. In many ways, a library user seeking legal information is no different from any other library user. You use the same reference skills to assist users seeking legal information as you would with users seeking information about, for instance, history or biology

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

One of the vital keys to any research work is the research and analysis of its steps that are implemented. These steps must be appropriate to test hypotheses or questions of the research and also to facilitate the access ability of overall design of the research such as collection of data and analysis of data

Issues for Science and Engineering Researchers in the Digital Age

“The summation of human experience is being expanded at a prodigious rate, and the means we use for threading through the consequent maze to the momentarily important item is the same as was used in the days of square-rigged ships. But there are signs of a change as new and powerful instrumental- ities come into use.” (Vannevar Bush, 1945) Digital computers and networks are revolutionizi…

BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODS

An Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States

A number of other criticisms have been leveled at reputational rankings of graduate programs.10 First, such studies inherently reflect perceptions that may be several years out of date and do not take into account recent changes in a program. Second, the ratings of individual programs are likely to be influenced by the overall reputation of the university—i.e., an institutional “halo effect…

Investing in Research Infrastructure in the Behavioral and Social Sciences

The topic of research infrastructure deserves a much more in-depth investigation than can be done given NSF/SBE's time constraints. This report, therefore, is limited to recommendations about process, rather than the many other important issues about research infrastructure. CBASSE's judgment is that the current process for the selection of infrastructure investment in the behavioral and social…
