A research work is assessed on the basis of a written report or a thesis submitted to a university awarding the degree. A thesis is not just a long essay. It must have a formal structure and a standard style. It requires careful planning and writing skills. Clear writing reflects clear thinking. The quality of research is mirrored in the thesis. Therefore, it is a crucial and difficult stage in research.
Realising this difficulty of researchers, the Western Regional Instrumentation Centre, Mumbai has organised an interactive workshop on Thesis Writing Skills. Topics for the workshop have been selected based on the rich experience of a group of senior professors who have guided and assessed research work.
Scope
The workshop is planned to cover the structure, style and strategies related to writing a thesis. The spirit of the workshop meticulously takes care of the following few points.
· The content of the workshop does not interfere with the research guide's way of supervising the work, but it only supplements his/her task.
· It is independent of the theme/subject of research.
· It does not intend to teach research methodology.
Contents
The workshop is aimed at giving a number of practical tips in the following areas.
· Strategic planning of writing process or what do the referees look for and how to meet their expectations.
