Anggerik Meeting Room, Level 3, IPS, UM

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, and six auxiliary nodes. Several
free tools can be found in the child nodes. Some paid tools are also
included. In this workshop some tools as examples from the four main
nodes will be described. The e-skills learned from the workshop are
useful across various research disciplines and research institutions.
