Preamble
Any systematic investigation towards increasing the sum of knowledge can be termed as research. Writing of
organized analysis of a subject to record and disseminate information or knowledge or to present a point of view
on a selected topic is research paper. One of the major purposes of basic research is to create new Knowledge. It is
the purpose of scientific research to go beyond experience and common sense, which frequently are quite limited
and inadequate. Research is best conceived as the process of arriving at dependable solutions to problems
through the planned and systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. This workshop is intended to
advances a framework, a process, and compositional approaches for designing qualitative, quantitative, and
mixed methods research in the human and social sciences. Increased interest in and use of qualitative research,
the emergence of mixed methods approaches, and continuing use of traditional forms of quantitative designs have
created a need for this workshop.
Backdrop
Research is a creative process “research includes far more than mere logic. It includes insight, genius, groping,
pondering – 'sense' … The logic we can teach; the art we cannot”. Research requires (or at least works best) with
imagination, initiative, intuition, and curiosity. The most important element in the acquisition and development of
scientific knowledge is the method used to investigate questions. Research may be defined as the process of
creating hypothetical answers to questions and then designing methodologies to defend or prove those
statements. The appropriate choice of a method can yield results that justify the research effort, while using
inappropriate methods can result in incorrect conclusions and irrelevant or inaccurate theory, which may be a
great waste of time and may cut worst cause significant misunderstanding. Some of the important questions in
the area of research is concern the fundamental nature and characteristics of research. It is necessary to examine
some of the principal concepts and procedures used in conducting research consistent with the scientific
method. Research designs are plans and procedures for research that span the decisions from broad
assumptions to detailed methods of data collection and analysis. This plan involves several decisions, and they
need not be taken in the order in which they make sense to research and order of the presentation. The overall
decision involves which design should be used to study a topic. Informing this decision should be worldwide
assumptions the researchers bring to the study; the procedure of inquiry; and specific methods of data collection,
analysis, and interpretation. The selection of a research design is also based on the research problem or issue
being addressed, the researcher's personal experiences, and the audience of the study. The workshop will
address the following issues
1. Knowledge is conjectural absolute truth can never be found. Thus, evidence established in research is always
imperfect and fallible.
2. Research is the process of making claims and them refining or abandoning some of them for other claims
more strongly warranted. Most quantitative research, for example , starts with the list of theory.
3. Research seeks to develop relevant, true statements, ones that can serve to explain the situation of concern or
that desirable the casual relationship of interest.
4. Being objectives is an essential aspect of competent inquiry; researchers must examine methods and
conclusions for bias.
Program Objectives
1. To provide knowledge on Research Methodologies and design aspects.
2. To provide hands on training on data analysis tools such as mean, mode, factor analysis and application of
Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) and R2.
3. To get knowledge to the participants to how to write scientific manuscripts writings and review process.
4. To provide a comprehensive review of sources and characteristics of constraints typically found in
construction of research design;
5. To review current trends and practices and researches in regards to constraint modeling;
6. To study the Socializing Library Services/Social media applications
7. To understand Social and Human Elements of Information Security
8. To discuss current issues, recent developments and their impact, and future challenges.
