n Information Retrieval Strategy Search Techniques n DULS subscribes different article databases. n All databases, though look a little different, work in the same way. n There is Basic Search for basic keyword searching. n There is Advance Search to search certain fields or create complex searches using Boolean operators or limits. n Some databases also contain thesaurus searching, which guides to the correct subject to search for the topic. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 5

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 1: STATE WHAT YOU WANT TO FIND First, in one or two sentences, state what you want to find. Example: n Cognitive Architecture of the Depressed. n Globalization and its impact on the Indian Working Class. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 6

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 2: IDENTIFY KEYWORDS Underline the main concepts in the statement. Example: n Cognitive Architecture of the Depressed. n Globalization and its impact on the Indian Working Class. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 7

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 3: SELECT SYNONYMS AND VARIANT WORD FORMS List synonyms, alternate spellings, and variant word forms of each. Example: Alternate terms of Software Reengineering: Computer software reengineering, reengineering of Software, software renovation, software renewal, software engineering, software maintenance, computer software reusability, etc. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 8

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 4: COMBINE SYNONYMS, KEYWORDS, AND VARIANT WORD FORMS. Using different searching techniques/ connectors / operators. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 9

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 5: GIVE A CONTEXT Ø Class Conflict Ø Ø India, 2014 -2017 Alimony Ø divorce UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 10

Information Retrieval Strategy STEP 6: CHECK YOUR SPELLING A Search engines return websites with words that match your keywords. If you misspell a keyword, your results will contain websites where that word is also misspelled. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 11

Information Use Ethics Ethical use? UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 41

Information Use Ethics Research does not take place in isolation. We do research by building on the works of others. We quote, summaries or paraphrase other existing information sources to defy or support our ideas. Plagiarism is a research misconduct by fabrication, falsification or plagiarism. Plagiarism may be intentional or unintentional. But one is responsible. There are serious penalties. Self plagiarism violets the right of publisher. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 42

Information Use Ethics How to avoid Plagiarism? Be Honest and cite properly. Be Organized from beginning till end of research. Use your own language. Properly Quote, Paraphrase and Summarize. Example Use one citation format correctly. Check for similarity before submission. Turnitin UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 43

Enhancing Research Visibility and Impact Visibility Citation Impact UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 44

Engage in networking communities Another great way to achieve visibility is through active engagement in research networking communities. Networking Communities will allow you to: create profiles, showcase your research outputs, identify communities of interest and participate in discussions by posting and answering questions in your network. Let you know about impact of your activates like: downloads of your publications, views of your profile and levels of your activity as compared to others in the network. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 63

Engage in networking communities Research. Gate It was launched in 2008 and is a very popular academic social network where you discover scientific knowledge and share your own research. Includes 100+ million publication pages, 13+ million researchers, and 700 k+ projects. It is multidisciplinary in scope and has relatively more features compared to its competitors. It can be used for sharing publications, connecting with colleagues, collaboration, Q&A and job searches. It is also one of the few platforms that assign scores to members. UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 64

Engage in networking communities Research. Gate It allows members to create detail profile, upload files and monitor impact of their outputs and their own activity in the network. Metrics available in Research. Gate relate to: publication count by type (articles, conference papers etc. ); publication views by country & by institution; full-text downloads; dataset downloads; full-text requests; Google referrals (for publications); open reviews; citations and impact points. member profile views by country & by institution; Google referrals (for profiles). questions asked; questions answers; numbers of followers and RG Score (a score with a secret algorithm that is calculated based on how other researchers interact with your content). UOU, 2020 Rajesh Singh, DULS 65
