We have proposed a system which provides user the facility to formulate query by identifying his information need without changing the context of research paper reading. The proposed tool provides navigation to all major parts of the article and allow user to select and add data from any part of the article. This navigation is internal navigation providing links to all sections of the article like headings, title, author and references. A text box contains the query term along with the information need identified by the user during the process of query formulation.
Research Type
Our research type is Explanatory research. As it proposes a Query Formulation Tool and explains its effect in making search while reading online research papers.
Unit of Analysis
In any social science study the unit of analysis is the first decisions. It is the person, collection of persons, or object which is the target of the investigation. Unit of analysis include individuals, groups, organizations, countries, technologies, objects, and such others.
In this research study our unit of analysis is individual (i.e. users). We will study that to what extent the use of Search Facilitation pane helps an individual in performing Search while reading online research documents.
Classification of Variables
Variables are those entities that change their values during the experiment. Variables may be classified on their intended use, as
1. Independent
2. Dependent
3. Moderating
4. Mediating
5. Control
d. Controlled experiment: an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time
RI.3.5 Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently.
When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as
We used Wikipedia and Google Search our guide research beginning. Our researchers start off at Wikipedia which is we
Unit of analysis is the group of the key entities that are examined in the study. Examples from the unit of analysis in the High School Longitudinal database are socio-economic status composite, parent’s highest education level and parent’s employment status.
Seigel was able to demonstrate in details how to search for different topics of study and how to accurately search for this information. She gives in depth instructions on how to access the library’s database to search for necessary resources. Also, she provided additional information on how to use different strategies to accurately search for information in the database. The information was delivered clearly and in a matter for everyone in the class to follow along. Furthermore, additional resources were given that the library provides for students such as different library events, workshops, and research tutorials. Finally, the most important information given was the citation resources available online in order to avoid
Research can be used in many methods, for example: questionnaires, television, leaflets, books etc. it allows us to keep up to date on the new findings or discoveries e.g. a new type of cancer or a new vaccination. Research is the investigation into
6) This is an experiment because it is in a controlled environment where the variables and the situation are manipulated. The dependant variable is the preference of the participants. The
Utilizing the internet to search for information is always quick and painless. In a matter of seconds, the information needed is at your fingertips. The internet along with its speed cuts down time that can be utilized
Using the index you can alphabetically pinpoint the information you’re looking for and turn to that page to read about and implement the information into to your research.
This phrase is applied to social sciences to point to the location, size or scale of a research target. It is unique from the term ‘unit of observation” as the former relates to an integrated set of relationships while the latter is about the distinct unit from which data will be gathered. The levels of analysis are not mutually exclusive but an in critical discuss analysis research generally falls under micro level and the macro level of analysis.
A search for information can take a variety of routes. It might entail a visit to the university library or to some other organization that maintains information on a particular subject. Academic libraries are indeed a critical tool in information
(B) Research type based on methodology: The authors mentioned the types of research that falls under this typology, which they said are; (i) quantitative vs. qualitative (ii) experimental vs. non-experimental (iii) historical and descriptive research.
Anything that has a measurable characteristic that varies is variable which may change from group to group, a person to person, or even within one person over time. To understand more precisely of what is variable we will deal with the two types of concepts: those that refer to fixed phenomenon and those that vary in quantity, intensity, or amount. The second concept and measures of the concept are variables. A variable is defined as anything that varies or changes in value. It represents a quality that can exhibit differences in values, usually magnitude or strength, it is said anything that may assume different numerical or categorical values. Variables is everywhere to support this we can take examples like, gender is a variable. Two values, male and female, marital status is also a variable, never married, married, divorced or widowed. A person’s attitude toward women empowerment is variable; it range from highly favourable to highly unfavourable. A variable may also be situation specific, example gender is variable, but if in a particular situation like in a class if
A variable is referred to as any event, situation, behavior, or individual characteristic that changes or varies. Any variable
