Increasing Visibility and Enhancing Impact of Research

Increasing Visibility and Enhancing Impact of Research

byNader Ale EbrahimYiibonn Bong
Publication is the beginning of research
impact and visibility, thus dissemination of research publications have to be
proactive. Researchers can promote their research work in three stages: (1)
manuscript preparation and submission; (2) post-publication promoting; and (3)
after receiving mentions/citations (monitoring).

Skills for managing virtual projects: Are they gained through graduate project management programs?

27th Annual Conference of the Australasian Association for Engineering Education : AAEE 2016












Abstract: Context:
Many organisations are increasingly developing virtual teams to work on
their global projects. By definition, a virtual team is a group of
geographically scattered persons collaborating to accomplish a project
or an organisational task. Managing virtual project teams is more
complex than managing traditional projects. Many engineers seeking
successful managerial and leadership positions in their career opt for
postgraduate degrees in engineering management to update their knowledge
and skills and foster their managerial skills.

Purpose: This
paper examines weather current curriculum and learning strategies in a
postgraduate engineering management program provides students with the
necessary skills to operate in virtual teams.

Approach: The
research identifies the skills required for managing virtual teams
working on engineering projects. By way of an exploratory example only,
this research also analyses subject outlines and claimed outcomes of a
postgraduate engineering management program to detect weather the
program provides students with knowledge and skills needed for working
and managing virtual teams. This paper represents a preliminary study
for ongoing research that is being designed to answer this research
question in a more rigorous and scholarly manner.

Results: It
was found that the program equips engineers with updated necessary
knowledge, skills, methodologies, techniques, and tools to effectively
manage engineering projects across a wide range of industries. Students
of the program would also develop soft skills including communication
which is of particular importance for virtual projects. The program
included practice based strategies such as discussions, role-plays,
presentations, and teamwork activities where students are heavily
exposed to the "online" world to share and exchange information. The
assignments are designed to ensure that student's clear and concise
writing and presentation skills are developed, which is highly desired
in virtual settings given the high probability of misinterpretation of
messages.

Conclusions: The program was found to recognise the
changing nature of project management, and has adopted adequate learning
strategies that provide students with the opportunity to develop the
skills required to overcome the communication, technology and leadership
issues arising from working in virtual teams. The research has
highlighted the importance of adopting innovative learning strategies in
universities in order to develop successful learning outcomes for
individuals.

Ethical And Unethical Methods Of Plagiarism Prevention In Academic Writing

This paper discusses plagiarism origins, and the
ethical solutions to prevent it. It also reviews some unethical
approaches, which may be used to decrease the plagiarism rate in
academic writings. We propose eight ethical techniques to avoid
unconscious and accidental plagiarism in manuscripts without using
online systems such as Turnitin and/or iThenticate for cross checking
and plagiarism detection. The efficiency of the proposed techniques is
evaluated on five different texts using students individually. After

Background: Citation metrics and total publications in
a field has become the gold standard for rating researchers and

Meanwhile, title, abstract and morphologic qualities of the articles
attract researchers to scientific publications. Yet, there is relatively
little understanding of the citation trend in disability related
fields. We aimed to provide an insight into...

tools to measure the research impact. Altmetrics are new metrics

Make your data discoverable on a data repository

Nader Ale Ebrahim
Previous studies have found that papers with publicly
available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar
studies without available data. In addition, new research has found that
by putting your research data online, you’ll become up to 30% more
highly cited than if you kept your data hidden. In this workshop I will
elaborate the advantages of sharing research data and introduce some
relevant “Research Tools” for increasing datasets visibility.
