 Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education at the Skanna Girls University College, University of Allahabad. And I am discussing nowadays topics and the research methodology in which today, this time I am taking a topic, good quality research, means what do you mean by good quality research, which type of research you can say it has good quality, when we are doing research we have to understand the parameters of good quality research and the lecture will be in bilingual mode and it is obviously useful. Okay, let's start. First of all, research. So, research is a common activity in academic institutions all over the world. So, academic research has been defined as research that has the sole purpose of creating or furthering knowledge. Research may be defined as a systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles or theories resulting in the prediction and possibly ultimate control of events. If you want to go into the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, then you will know that the definition given is quantitative research because it has systematic objective analysis. We observe in controlled conditions, we record them, then we go to generalizations, principles or theories, development and we can also predict and we also want to control them. So, you know that the characteristics of quantitative research or experimental research are special. Research in any discipline of thought is an ongoing process of enhancing the existing fund of knowledge by exploring new frontiers that challenge the human quest for understanding reality. The question of the quality of research underscores whether the research in any branch of knowledge enriches the ecosystem in a significant manner. The question of the quality of research has become the centre of academic, professional and higher education policy debates all over the world. Good quality research provides evidence that is robust, ethical, stands up to scrutiny and can be used to inform policy making. It should adhere to the principles of professionalism, transparency, accountability and auditability. Good research is anchored on a sound research question. The question of the quality of research in any discipline of thought is the quality of research in any discipline of thought is the quality of research in any discipline of thought. Good research uses relevant empirical data and proper data analysis methods. It has limitations and provides suggestions for future research. All these points are for quantitative researchers. In general, when we talk about research, we talk about quantitative. That is why we have to talk about qualitative separately. Okay. Because quantitative is still too much of a problem. Okay. Because quantitative is still too much of a problem. Okay. And if you are writing the first chapter, then you have to tell the limitations and delimitations. That is to say, the limitations mean that we have already decided that we will not be able to deal with this. Suppose that you are going to study on girls. So, you first make a limit that you are only going to deal with the city girls. You are not going to reach the rural girls or it is difficult to reach them. What so ever. But what are the limitations? What are the limitations? What are the limitations? What resources have limited you? Your limit is so great that you cannot do it. Like we write in the delimitation that the positive of time, lack of resources, lack of money, lack of funding or lack of whatever it was, it has not supported your research. So, you could not do it. This is the delimitation. This is a very common question that we get asked in Viva. Tell us about the limitations and delimitations. Okay. And your research has to provide suggestions for future research. Because when we work, when we are in the field, then we know that it can work on this too. It can be on this too. It can be on this too. So, for future researchers, you have to give suggestions. Then your research will be called good quality research. And the must, the last but not the least, that you cannot leave at any cost, is that ithical. And you know that I have already talked about ithical issues in research. That here our big, big means is not plagiarism. That we will not use any material plagiarized. Big, big means. We are talking about it. In good academic research practices, you will know that UGC is still looking at our higher education. In the policy of 2020, it has been said that we will remove UGC. We will bring an HECI. HECI means Higher Education Council of India. It will have four verticals. There are not many things. But it is still not workable. It is working on how to bring it to work. So, we will talk about UGC. So, UGC is committed to raising the standards of research at institutions of higher education in India. So, UGC is committed to raising the standards of research at institutions of higher education in India. So, UGC is committed to raising the standards of research at institutions of higher education in India. This means that how is this standard? It is useless. This document reiterates the values underlying research integrity to help create a culture of responsible and quality research in the academic and research community. They are saying that the values of research integrity should not be good. And we want to create a culture of responsible and quality research in the academic and research community. So, what does research integrity mean? The integrity of the research enterprise rests on honesty and trust. That is, honesty and trust are two such values that have no impact on the integrity of the research. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, research integrity includes the use of honest and verifiable methods in proposing, performing and evaluating research. That is, we propose that we are going to do this work, do the work, and do the work. We have to use honest and verifiable methods in all of them. And reporting research results. Look, this has been said somewhere that when we do research, research is a personal activity which has social extension. I mean, we are doing the work, but it is not that we will keep our research closed by doing the work. This does not happen. You disseminate its findings, publish them, in a book, in a journal. So that its results can reach more and more people. That is why it is important to do it. We have to do the reporting of the results. But we have to pay attention that we will follow the rule, regulation and guidelines. Following commonly accepted professional courts and norms. And we will publish the report. Then it was a little bit like this. Which factors are responsible for research integrity? Ethics. We have to work with regards to rigor. We should be relevant. We should be transparent. We should respect. We should respect someone who we have made our own sample. This is our core researcher. Impartiality. We should not be at the place of partiality in research. Independence. We should be aware of whether you are doing it independently or with someone's help. And accountability. Accountability is very important. In our case, most of our participants give us our consent. We have to be accountable towards our people. When we have poured their consent form in order to use this data for our research purpose. You can not use it anywhere else. This is your integrity. You are so ethical. Then framework for good academic research practices. I want to tell my students that if you follow this, it means that your academic research practice is good, so what will happen? There are three big things. Research design, conducting research and dissemination. First, we make research design, then we actually research and then we pressurize it. So what is research design? First, we will plan which areas we want to research. Then we will make research questions, we will do documentation, then we will review literature in a very good way. We will get to know what work has been done, what has not been done, what has not been done. In that direction, we will start working ahead. We will keep an analytical approach with data research methods. When we go to do research, what will we do? Execute documentation and data storage. Nowadays, a lot of data is feed into the computer because of online. But earlier, this was not the case, so I was writing all this work by hand in the form of data storage. Then we will put a check on whom? I had told you in the ethical research in practice, FFP. What was it? Falsification, fabrication and plagiarism. So we do not have to do anything like falsifying, fabricating, misrepresenting and not following plagiarism. And we will take care of collaboration and authorship. And there is a lot of talk about intellectual property rights these days. You will also take care of that. And then what will you do? Dissemination. That is, your result is here, your finding is in your hands. So selection of the right medium for publication. We will choose the medium from which we are the best medium. Under which we can publish it. Using the right journal. When you know that there are a lot of predatory journals in the market these days. We have to save them. We have to publish our article in a good quality journal. And translation of research. You must know that in NEP 2020, a lot of multi-lingualism has been talked about. There are a lot of emphasis on regional languages. So if you have written it in English, you will do it. You will translate it in regional languages. So that it reaches more than a lot of people. Okay. So here are the parameters of good quality research practices. So whenever we want to do research, as a student, we are nil. We have no idea where to go, what to do, what to do, what not to do. I think that this lecture will be fruitful for those. Okay. Thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel. Explore it again. Then from my side.
