The C.A.R.S. Model to Framing and Revising Your Introduction Section
28/05/2024
Work well begun is half done. Same applies to research papers, and poorly drafted introductions definitely damages the response towards the research paper during peer review. The traits of a poor introduction are that they are excessively broad, vague and at the same time lack context as well as a background. Unlike well-made introductions, poor introductions might ignore the research gap and they rather focus on the work of the author and not the field. One must also be cautious of not using too many jargons or unsupported statements in the introduction section, making the section unsupported, long, repetitive and... read more
Python for Simulations and Modeling in PhD Research: Advantages and Applications
23/05/2023
Simulations and modeling are essential tools in PhD research, enabling researchers to investigate complex phenomena, predict outcomes, and gain valuable insights. Python has emerged as a preferred language for conducting simulations and modeling in diverse fields of study. Its versatility, extensive libraries, and ease of use have made it a powerful tool for researchers seeking to simulate and model intricate systems. This blog will explore the advantages and applications of using Python for simulations and modeling in PhD research. Furthermore, the availability of Python implementation service providers can assist researchers in streamlining their projects, providing expertise in Python programming, and... read more
The Challenges in Writing a Multi Authored Academic Publication, More Co-authors for your research paper.
03/04/2023
Co authorship is when two or more authors collaborate to publish a research article. There has been a significant increase in multi disciplinary research which has also expanded multi authored academic research in the past few years. There are a variety of reasons for this growth, most commonly researchers attribute this growth to the incremented pressure of publication for career growth and promotions. With such a requirement, co authorship is often a lucrative return on investment. Another reason because of which collaborative writing has increased are, better opportunities for co authorship as networks have increased and advances in technological developments... read more
The making of the meshing model using ANSYS
09/01/2023
You want to build a house but before that, you need a blueprint of the house so that you can build it just the way you want. In the paper blueprint, you may not understand it totally but in the 3D blueprint, you can see every corner of the house and also change it just the way you want. Well, this is what ANSYS is. In this blog, we will know the steps to make the meshing model using ANSYS. But before that, let us know a little bit about ANSYS and the meshing model so that we can understand... read more
Identifying Fuel economy model in MATLAB simulink
12/12/2022
Suppose you have written a program on “how to add two numbers”. Now the input is the coding and the output is adding two numbers. That is the basic difference between MATLAB and Simulink. MATLAB is the programming language and Simulink is the output of the language. In this blog, we will identify the fuel economy model in MATLAB Simulink. But before that, let us get an idea about what MATLAB Simulink is and what the fuel economy model is. MATLAB Simulink is a graphical programming environment for modelling, simulating and analysing dynamic systems. It allows users to design, simulate,... read more
Evaluating the limitations and importance of quasi experiment to formulate better research questionnaire
21/11/2022
A research questionnaire is just formulating some questions for the research respondents so that you can gather and analyze their responses to know about the research topic. Now, if we do not have the idea to create research questionnaires, then how will we create better research questions? Well, there is a certain type of experiment called “quasi-experiment” that can help us formulate better questions. But is it effective? Does it have any limitations? In this blog, we will identify the limitations and importance of quasi-experiments to formulate better research questionnaires. Describing quasi-experiment A quasi-experiment is a type of study that... read more
Understanding the use of one way ANOVA to conduct quantitative data analysis
10/10/2022
Suppose you have started a business and you want to reach out to investors for money. They will see your year-by-year or month-by-month growth rate, your profit margin, your revenues, and other business financials. These are all numbers which are called quantitative data that are used to make business decisions or even real-life decisions. One-way ANOVA, which is a variance analysis test, can help us to conduct quantitative data analysis. In this blog, we will learn the use of one-way ANOVA to conduct quantitative data analysis. But first, let us know technically what quantitative data analysis is in short so... read more
Dealing with the risk of over-interpreting or under-interpreting qualitative data- the grounded theory approach
08/09/2022
What is the real reason that makes us happy? It’s not our salary or our business’ balance sheet numbers, it’s our environment, our relationships, and other personal or professional reasons. Now, identifying and analyzing this data is qualitative data basically. Now, what is the guarantee that the gathered data is correct? Suppose even if we interview some person, what is the guarantee that the person has provided us with the correct data? That is the risk of over-interpreting or under-interpreting qualitative data. In this blog, we will deal with the risk of over-interpreting or under-interpreting qualitative data by using a... read more
Collecting qualitative data using interviews for PhD research – A complete guide
11/08/2022
Have identified disciplinary orientations and design for the investigation, a researcher gathers information that will address the fundamental research question. Interviews are very common from data collection incase study research. Interviews are individual or groups allow the researcher to attain rich, personalized information (Mason, 2002). To conduct successful interviews, the researchers should follow several guidelines. First, the researcher should identify key participants in the situation whose knowledge and opinions may provide important insights regarding the research questions. Participants may be interviewed individually or in groups. Individual interviews yield significant amounts of information from an individual’s perspective, but may be quite... read more
Starting a PhD in the Pandemic: Challenges and Benefits
27/05/2022
Scholars who embark on their journey towards earning a doctorate know that they are about to undertake a mammoth task. At the best of times, starting a PhD can be quite a demanding and, at times, overwhelming academic commitment. However, when a pandemic is added to the equation, things undeniably get even more difficult. The experience of starting or pursuing a PhD in the pandemic is largely unprecedented, although it can be safely stated that it affects scholars and their daily lives in many disruptive ways. Apart from causing emotional stress and anxiety, the COVID situation can also throw up... read more
