Research Writing Workshop

 I am Nidhi Jethava and I am a Student of MK Bhavnagar University. We had a session on Friday. This blog is about the learning outcome of three sessions in a workshop conducted on 7th Jan 2022. 

Here is the link to the teacher’s blog. https://blog.dilipbarad.com/2022/01/avoid-plagiarism-research-in-digital-era.html

The chief guest of the session is Dr. J.P. Majmudar. This workshop was in three sessions. It's very helpful in our research and writing. 

1. Importance of research by professor j.p. Majumdar 

2. Avoid plagiarism: qualitative research in the digital era by Barad sir 

3. Citation: tools and techniques by Vaidehi Ma'am 

So let's discuss three sessions in detail. 

Importance of research by professor j.p. Majumdar 

This session helps us most about understanding research and writing. As we know that research should be systematic and scientific. We can not get any authentic information about anything without research. Dr. Majmudar is connected with the market and management so he mostly gave examples of research connected with the market and MNF's survey. Actually, it's very necessary for any field. Research is a very necessary thing and one can not do research without knowing the proper way or we can say systematic way of it. This workshop helps a lot for our dissertation writing and research. As we know that research should be systematic and scientific. So we can understand the value of authenticity and how much reservation helps us in various fields like marketing strategy, management, and literature. In short, research is an important part of any study. 

Avoid plagiarism: qualitative research in the digital era by Barad sir.

The second session was taken by prof. Dr. Dilip Barad sir. He also talked about plagiarism. How to pronounce, how to identify plagiarism, the importance of citations, at which level it's acceptable. What are the measurements? How to identify CCP ( cut, copy, paste). So it's also very useful for us. Nowadays plagiarism is becoming the talk of the town. So many cases result in this kind of thing. Many people have to leave their high positions and medals because of it. Ex. The president of Hungary, Pal Schmitt, resigned from his largely ceremonial post on Monday amid a storm of criticism over what he called “unfounded allegations” of plagiarism in his 1992 doctoral thesis.(Palko Karasz, The Newyork Times)

Here I am putting the link to the worksheet, which helps us to understand which source is authentic. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KYq7WA02rRD3u5vlnmb9BxeVcfeQ27b0/view?usp=sharing

Citation: tools and techniques by Vaidehi Ma'am

Last session was taken by Vaidehi Hariyani  ma'am. In that we all students practiced various tools of citations. We all were divided into five groups and we did the practice citation. Madam also helped us and gave more information about citations. It was a very fruitful day. It enhances our knowledge and also makes us aware of plagiarism, the importance of research, and citation.  

Thank you.
