How to Guide Students in Research and Development?

Research and development are the mandatory parts of any educative version of the world. Without proper research and the related events, nothing can be correctly formed and carried on. But, investigations embrace a certain amount of uncertainty, recasting, doubts and sometimes inappropriate black and white answers. Most of the discoveries are the results of mistakes.

The PIL or Project Information Library has recommended that:

One should define research as per its application to the discipline and assignment. Divide the duties into essential sections. Review the measures for source evaluation. Then, it’s time to discuss the plagiarism and the following consequences to avoid them in future. The explanation of the research can be evaluated. The students should consult a library and collect detailed databases with the sources. If appropriate sources are compiled, the students can direct towards the collaboration of the library sources with the research assignments.

• Don’t let the sources drive you. Instead, you push them. Focus on the problem and investigate accordingly.

• Never try to follow others and copy their styles and points into your paper. Every research paper must be unique. If a specific issue isn’t the exact fit for your topic, don’t include it just because your colleague is putting it. Be your own in-charge.

• Include the current points as much as you can. Give attention to the source dates. Keep your paper updated with the writings collected from decades’ information. Try to avoid earlier versions if possible. The evaluator is going to check your acquaintance with the updated researchers.

• Never fix your ideas. You will come across various sources with farfetched studies. Don’t finalize any viewpoint and you can change it later with any modification. Customize your ideas and justification till the revision time.

• Break the research topic into small parts and investigate on the minor sub-topics individually. Good researchers always study each tiny heading in minute units. They can draw more significant interferences on each subtopic. Interpretation critically can make you a winner.

• Always take help of the subject professor and discuss your ideas with him or her before finalizing them. Loads of data and mindless collection of your surveys cannot fetch you the aspired degree.

• Don’t go overboard with the language. You have to record and vanquish. Take readable and complete notes for your research. The paper checker is going to check everything from first to last. Therefore, you will never be able to keep straight and comprehensive notes you collected from various authors and put them completely on your paper.

• An entire bibliographical citations containing article name, journal name, author, URL, page number, etc. is extremely important. Moreover, the information will help you during penning down the footnotes and bibliography composition. Don’t take the pain to find them repeatedly wasting a lot of time.

• Giving you a golden tip for sure shot 100% easy and better research:

Get help of a reference management software. Ask the college authority. If it’s not available there, you can opt for Zotero, Endnote, Wizfolio and Refworks.

• An important notification:

• Never act like a person who is not sure about his or her research work. Your exploration must culminate a stable conclusion about the investigation you have pointed in it. Never end your interference by writing “Finally/ In the end/ Therefore, we can’t be convinced that….”, or “Though the research is showing ‘this’ in the paper, I opine that….”, etc.

• Don’t reveal that you are not sure about your experimentation. A convincing ending will get you the deserved marks.

• Take care of the footnotes. Don’t miss them at any cost. Many professors are very particular about footnote styles. Learn if you are not aware of them. Each subject deserves separate styles like MLA, APA, APSA, CBE, AIP, etc. If you can’t get help from the university, Google is always there to help you.

• Timing is the most crucial aspect of the completion of a well-versed research paper. Leave some time for writing, revising, editing, add-ons, etc. Spend half of the time researching and half of the entire time in writing.

Your master’s thesis or doctoral research and development must process towards the development of the procedures and products you have to spend your sweat and blood. Success will surely hug you if you follow the given suggestions correctly and devote your hard and smart work accordingly.
