“Research Tools” enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze,
visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has collected over 700
tools that enable students to follow the correct path in research and to
ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more accuracy and
efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled
“Research Tools”, which is updated periodically. “Research Tools” consists of a
hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching the literature,
(2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility
and impact of the research. In this workshop some tools from the part 2
(Writing a paper) will be described. The e-skills learned from the workshop are
useful across various research disciplines and research institutions.
