---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: K.S. Raghavan <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Wed, May 27, 2015 1:53 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on Research Methods and Technical Writing in Information Studies (15-16 June 2015) Organized by Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) in association with Centre for Knowledge Analytics & Ontological Engineering (EAnOE), PES University About the Workshop There are nearly 100 universities in the country that are offering doctoral programmes in Information Studies. Although each one of the researchers actually works on a different research question, there are many common problems that most of the researchers face. The quality of a piece of research is a function of the quality of data, the data analysis tools employed and the way the research outcome is presented. Some of the questions that most researchers face are: - How does one go about selecting a research problem? - What is a hypothesis? How to formulate hypotheses? - What are the most appropriate methods for data collection and the relevant statistical tools / tests for data analysis? How to decide on the appropriate instrument for data collection and how to design one? How to analyze and present data? How to interpret data? - What is technical writing and what are the components of a good technical report / theses? How to present ideas in technical writing? Objectives of the Workshop The workshop aims at answering the questions stated above. The workshop faculty is drawn from a pool of eminent professors who have long and rich experience both as researchers in their own individual capacity and as research supervisors at the Ph.D. level. The workshop methodology will employ case studies to illustrate and explain in addition to lectures supplemented by slides and discussions. Venue of the Workshop: PES University, 100 ft Ring Road, Banashankari, III Stage, Bangalore 560 085 Workshop Fee: Rs. 2000/- for full-time Ph.D. students and Rs. 2500/- for those who are employed; Participants will have to make their own arrangements for accommodation and transport.
