Introduction:

“Research Tools” can be defined as vehicles that broadly
facilitate research and related activities. Scientific tools enable researchers
to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research  outputs.
Dr. Nader has collected over 700 tools that enable students 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. “Research
Tools” consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1)
Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals,
and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact of the research. Several free tools can
be found in the child nodes. In this workshop some tools as examples from the
part 1 (Searching the literature) will be described. The e-skills learned from
the workshop are useful across various research disciplines and research
institutions.
