30 tips for successful academic research and writing

30 tips for successful academic research and writing | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blogs.lse.ac.uk - November 14, 2020 11:18 AM
Choosing something that you are passionately interested in to research is a great first step on the road to successful academic writing but it can be difficult to keep the momentum going. Deborah Lupton explains how old-fashioned whiteboards and online networking go hand-in-hand, and offers advice for when it is time to just ‘make a start’ or go for a bike ride.

As part of preparing for a workshop on academic publishing for early career academics, I jotted down some ideas and tips to share with the group which I thought I would post here. In the process of writing 12 books and over 110 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters over a career which has mostly been part-time because of juggling the demands of motherhood with academic work, I have developed some approaches that seem to work well for me.

Organization is essential in every situational field in life, with this in mind, it is also crucial for the academic writing field, to keep our head focused on what is necessary to leave our thoughts on paper, organizing the pdfs where are somehow "patented" some ideas we have in mind or that we want to look for. also, think strategically to start writing, to connecting ideas effectively.

From blendedlibrarian.learningtimes.net - September 3, 2016 12:33 PM
At the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community we have delved somewhat infrequently into the world of Open Educational Resources (OER) and what we can do to promote their use to our faculty. In the past John and I have engaged the community in conversations about digital learning objects (what many folks now point to as OER in repositories such as MERLOT II). In addition we have engaged in discussions about OER, such as when we invited Quill West to  be our guest.

From www.theatlantic.com - November 21, 2014 2:46 PM
Scholarly articles, filled with indubitable knowledge and analysis, only exist for the general public behind pricey paywalls. So one lecturer is advocating for them to be free of charge.

10 Great Tools for Academic Research You Should Know about ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

10 Great Tools for Academic Research You Should Know about ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 11, 2013 7:56 AM

Compared with how academic research was carried out in the pre-internet era, It seems like technology is really a godsend gift to researchers. From easy and unlimited access to journal articles to web tools that do the referencing and auto-syncing, everything has been digitized making it way easier for todays researchers to add to the body of the human knowledge than any time in history.

As a web 2.0 researcher and a graduate student in the faculty of education in Mount Saint Vincent University, I have had the chance to experiment with a wide variety of web tools that can make your academic life much more easier. Below are some of the web tools I have been recommending to undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and PHD students, and professors. Check them out below and make sure you share them with your colleagues, they could be in dire need for them.
