Literature Review Made Easy


Literature Review Made Easy

Technology  has changed the human life in all walks of life and so is of researchers.

The people who are involved in research activities are no more indulged in variety of clerical works. You as researcher do not need to compute 10 pages formulas and statistical derivatives to produce Alfa score or P value.

Similarly, as researcher you do not need to read 100s of document A-Z to note down the concepts and tag them manually.

Q: do we need to make manual citation andbrowse data randomly 

A: not at all. Give this job to EndNote to browse and cite and manage references from you. Now you no more do very broad and open search to get article. what you need is a strategy to browse and search data. Use you strategy of searching and ask EndNote to do it for you. you also do not need to learn forms of output style and cite in text and reference list. let the EndNote do this job for you

Q: do you need to manage 100s of documentaround your table and mark or highlight them 

A: not at all. NVivo software helps you manage articles, authors profile and segregates data into 1000s of categories according to you needs. NVivo find relevant word and concepts for you with complete reference and context. now you can ask NVivo to give you basic concept, find intensity and weight for concept and create models to present graphically.

what is browsing strategy and how build concepts through NVivo is agenda of IRP module. IRP trains researchers on how to combine strengths of these two software and utilize for needs of doing literature review.

Researchers are invited to adopt such technologies/IT application to expedite their research worked and stay focused on intellectual development.

IRP training module helps researcher to learn how to use combine effects of both software to produce excellent literature review.

The module offers 50% expert lecture and 50% hands on practice of software

 Lesson:

Research should adopt the latest IT techniques to improve quality of research work and bring efficiency
