Research Methodology for Ph.D. Coursework

Research Methodology, an important subject in itself, is taught to research students of sciences, engineering, home science, language and literary studies, management, and social sciences, to aid them in making precise analysis. This book, therefore, covers all the aspects of research methodology and intends to forego the strict classification of streams of arts and sciences, in favour of a slew of reforms in research, based on NEP-2020.

To meet the requirements of multidisciplinary curricula, chapters such as Entrepreneurship, Future Perspectives of Research, Scientific Search Engines, Online Servers, CPCSEA Guidelines, Academic Integrity and Research Quality, Social Networking Site, Demographic Software, GIS, Regulatory Issues in Biotechnology, Simulation of Data, Paper Formatting Software, Indexing and Citation Database, Document Writing with LaTeX, Report and Digital Note-taking Software, the Impact Factor of Journals, Journals Indexed in UGC-CARE, Scopus, and Software for Detection of Plagiarism, are included. At the same time, the inclusion of Ethics in Research, Use of Tools/Techniques, FTP and Computing Systems, Presentation in a Seminar/Conference, Index Number, Time Series Analysis, Life Table and Measures of Demography, and Vital Statistics distinguishes this book from others in the field and adds to its novelty.

The book reflects deep knowledge, innovative ideas and the lucid style of the author to explain the text and processes clearly and systematically.
