Introduction to “Research Tools”: Tools for Collecting, Writing, Publishing, and Improving Research Visibility

“Research Tools” enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. I have collected over 700 tools that enable researchers to follow the correct path in research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more accuracy and efficiency. “Research Tools” consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact of the research. This presentation will provide an overview to the most important tools from searching literature to disseminating researcher outputs. The e-skills learned from the workshop are useful across various research disciplines and research institutions.
