Research: What ? • Research – Diligent process of inquiry and investigation to seek or revise facts, principles, theories, applications, etc. • Purpose of Research – – – Create, review and synthesize knowledge Provide solutions to a problem Explore and analyze general issues Construct a new procedure or system Explain new phenomenon (facts) Generate revenue by R&D
Identification of Research Problems • Research Problem – A research problem is a question, which needs an answer or a researcher wants to solve – Identification and formulation of a research problem is the most daunting task in the research process
Sources of Research Problems
The Research Process
Why Do We Publish? • Editors, reviewers, and the research community don’t consider these reasons when assessing your work
Daily Life of a Researcher
Goals of a Research Publication • To conduct academic and professional training from the paper writing • To add contribution to the body of knowledge • To make recognition in your field • To compete with your colleagues • To keep yourself in-touch with the research community • To stress on quality rather than quantity in publications – Elimination of garbage papers or low quality papers (re-inventing the wheel) – Impact to the research field (citations, impact factor, commercialization, sustainability, etc. )
What is the goal of the research? • Classification (summary) of existing knowledge • Structuring someone else’s ideas • Create new knowledge – Slowly advance the frontier of what we know – (And don’t know)
What your research really is • Your idea is a single sentence – Try explaining it to your colleagues first – Then to your peers in other places – Then to “generally smart people” from other fields – Then to your grandmother or child • In short: TALK TO PEOPLE!
Good and bad research questions Good • Creates new knowledge • Probably, not “Big!” – You can’t seriously believe you are the first – Shoulders of giants • Formulated as a goal, hypothesis (let’s check) Bad • Classification • Getting astray into parallel field (or orthogonal…) • Formulated as an openended question without any reference to previous work (let’s see, a new “theory of everything”)
How to find an idea? • Be curious • Read related media (newspapers, magazines, internet, local news, law cases, a particular blog or a column) • Important: It should be a daily habit • Reiterate back to academic literature
How to find an idea • • • News of physiotherapy update in the world You: What? Why? Reading: Literature. Internet access Historical examples, explanations, figures, numbers, models, recent data, recent papers, conference papers/talks, specialized (ETSG) conference talks, Etc.
Four Purposes of Literature Review 1. To motivate why the research is interesting. 2. To show what original contribution is being made. 3. To provide a context for interpreting the research 4. To demonstrate that you have read the literature
Literature Do’s and Don’t’s Wrong: • List of papers/authors • “Classical papers” • Summaries of dozens unrelated papers • No clear structure • Too long entries • “Referat” style Correct: • Relating to your research question • Comparison of findings • Critical review (differences in approach, data, methods, results) • General conclusions • Quite brief (one or two sentences per article)
Violation of Academic Integrity • Improper Referencing • Duplicating others’ work without referencing • Taking too large amounts of others’ work, even with references • Too small share of own efforts (“Conclusions”, generalization) • Submitting the same paper to more than one outlet
Dissemination • Try to present your paper as many times as possible. • Why? – Feedback! • Which outlet is the most important? – Seminars in other institutions – Department Seminars – Working Paper Series – Conferences
