1. Introduction

The search can be time consuming and sometimes tedious task.
How can make it easier? How do deal with situations such as:



“I just join as new postgraduate students and I am not
sure how doing a literature search, What is a literature review?, Where
do I begin in conducting a literature review?”



“I have been in research for some time now but I spend a lot of time
to get the articles I want., What are the best materials to include in
my review and how do I locate them?, Is it worth my time to search the
Internet for the literature?”



“I am sure I have downloaded the article, but I am not able to find it”



“I wanted to write a new paper, how can I manage the references in the shortest possible time?”



“I have many references, some of my old papers, and some of my
current research. Sometimes, they are so many that I can’t recall where
I have kept them in my folders!”

……..



“I have written an article and I am not able to find a proper
Journal, Are there any shortcuts for identifying a journal for
submission?”



"I want to increase the citation of my papers, how do I do?"


We need an effective search strategy can save hours of
wasted research time and provide a clear direction for your research.
The benefits of attending this workshop are numerous and include
learning how to change the direction of searching to discover and how
to use more efficient the tools that are available through the Net.“Research Tools”enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize, mobilize and create creative outputs. The benefits from using “Research Tools”can
be summarized as helping researchers keep up to date with current
developments in their chosen field, up to date information on what is
regarding as interesting and stimulating by recognised professors, the
ability to choose high-quality relevant papers related to the
researchers field, evaluating other researcher and journals, publishing
in appropriate journals, increased visibility for publications and
access to important writing tools for editing, paraphrasing and
summarizing.Writing your thesis or academic paper can be daunting
enough but, with the use of the “Research Tools”what seemed virtually impossible will become true to any researcher.



Sharing research results is both an obligation and an
opportunity. Since there are many considerations when a study
concludes, Dr. Nader provided several“Research Tools
to help with the publication process and ideas for dissemination
beyond publishing in a research journal. Publishing a high quality paper
in scientific journals is only the mid point towards receiving
citation in the future. The balance of the journey is completed by
advertising and disseminating the publications. Familiarity with the
tools allows the researchers to increase their h-index in a short time.
H-index shows the academicians influence in the specified field of
research. Therefore, an academician with a higher level of h-index is
deemed to have publications of higher quality resulting in higher
citations.



With the use of “Research Tools
the whole painstaking process of your research will be simplified and
made easy, leaving you free to use your time for discovering.


2. Objective

The concept of the workshop is to make best use of the "Research Tools"
