    Study Notes

    Research Process

    • Step Seven: Interpretation and Report Writing involves preparing a report detailing the research conducted.
    • Writing a report includes three components: preliminary pages, main text, and end matter.

    Research Groups

    • Formation of five research groups is necessary for collaboration on projects.
    • Graduation Project 1 covers four out of the seven steps in the research process.

    Prioritizing Problems for Research

    • Dr. Howeida H. Abusalih leads a lecture on selecting and prioritizing research topics.
    • Objectives include understanding selection criteria and applying rating scales to research topics.

    Criteria for Selecting a Research Topic

    • Relevance: Choose a topic that is a priority problem with significant impact.
    • Avoidance of Duplication: Investigate if the topic has been studied previously; identify unanswered major questions.
    • Feasibility: Assess the ease of implementation, availability of resources (personnel, time, equipment, funding).
    • Political Acceptability: Topics should align with current political interests and relevance to authorities, especially during crises like COVID-19.
    • Applicability: Evaluate how directly applicable the research findings will be.
    • Urgency of Data Needed: Determine the timeline for the need for information (immediate, short-term, or long-term).
    • Ethical Acceptability: Consider potential ethical issues associated with the research.

    Justification for Research

    • A clear justification should outline expected outcomes and how the findings will address specific problems.
    • Address the need for the study and potential benefits to health and society, along with consequences of inaction.

    Hypothesis

    • A hypothesis forms a testable theoretical explanation, often indicating a causal relationship.
    • Example: H1 - There is a relation between vaccine hesitancy and its underlying factors among mothers.

    Essential Sections of a Proposal

    • Include methods like study design, population inclusion/exclusion criteria, sampling techniques, data collection tools, statistical analysis, and ethical considerations.

    Scales for Rating Research Topics

    • Various scales assess the relevance, duplication, feasibility, political acceptability, applicability, urgency of data, and ethical considerations associated with research topics.
    • Scoring can help prioritize research topics based on their overall applicability and urgency.

    Writing Introduction

    • Objectives include understanding methodological literature search and introduction writing techniques.
    • The introduction should cover the significance of the research topic, the context, and clearly define the research question.

    Methodological Search of Literature

    • Utilize various databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and others for comprehensive literature reviews.
    • Keep a record of search terms, combinations, article volume, and selection criteria for relevance.

    Finalizing Your Introduction

    • Should be structured logically, presenting broad context before narrowing down to specific research questions.
    • Clearly articulate gaps in current research to establish the need for the study.

    Plagiarism Avoidance

    • Ensure proper paraphrasing, use quotation marks for direct quotes, and provide clear citations for all referenced works.
    • Maintain a comprehensive reference list to ensure transparency and academic integrity.
