Glad you liked it! Can you please tell me more about yourself?

Hi Anum Thank you for your comment. How are you doing? How is your PhD work?

@@saeedsharif Thank you so much Prof for asking. PhD seems a rough ride but hanging in there and not giving up. I hope you are doing good. So excited to see you back on RU-vid.

@@anumzahra660 I understand. PhD is not a smooth journey but for you it became even more challenging. But I believe in you and your capabilities.

@@saeedsharif Thank you for the encouragement, honoured!

@@anumzahra660 could you please suggest a few topics for the next videos please? Research methods topics

It's a pleasure! :)

Thank you very much Farzan jan!

Great! All the best!

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your story! I'm so glad that my content was helpful! Sure. I'll make more video on significance of the study. Have you watched my video on research gaps?

Welcome! :)

I'm glad that it was helpful!

Thank you very much for your comment

Hi Jesinta, Could you suggest a few topics for my next videos on research methods? What are the areas that do you want me to cover in my videos?

@@saeedsharif Hello Sir, when i was doing my thesis i realise the questionare or the way i design my construct was not good or well planned and tested .. a deep dive would help sir...and more on likert scale data analysis...

@@jesintakumarimurugiah8984 Thank you for the suggestion. It's a good and relevant topic! Something around the development of new instruments or revising an instrument to be suitable for the study. or psychometric studies methods...

Thank you for your comment and suggestion. This is the plan. Hopefully, I'll make a video for each section of an article or thesis. The second video will be about the context of the study. Again, I've provided several examples from my past studies. I hope these videos help students and researchers find these instructions helpful.

Thanks for watching :

Sure. I'll upload the next one soon. Thank you for your comment :) Can you suggest a few topics for the next videos?

@@saeedsharif Thank you for the great contents. I would be really interested in exploring how to effectively write and manipulate the language of research papers, and what grammatical conventions should be followed.

@@socratesknows814 Thank you for the comment and suggestion. I included in my agenda for the next videos. If there is any other area that you want me to cover please let me know.

Thank you! This is part of a series on research and publication. Have you watched the second video on the context of the study?

@@saeedsharif Thank you Dr. saeed sharif. I will make sure to watch the second part.

Most welcome!

Thank you for your comment. Do you have any suggestions for my future videos?

A few years ago I was supposed to conduct a workshop in Sri Lanka. I'm not sure why it never happened 😔

@@saeedsharif you're welcome sir..writing a problem statement/significance/scope of the study and referencing tools.. sir these are my suggestions...

@@saeedsharif sir, unfortunately our people have missed a great opportunity to learn from the best

Glad it helped!

Welcome!

Welcome 🙏

I've posted the link in the description of the video :)

Thanks for the view

Hi, Thank you for your message and sorry that I overlooked it. Have you watched my other videos in this series, specifically the video on problem statement?

@@saeedsharif Hi, dr. You have answered my question, lydia from UUM.

@@lydiazhang7390 Great! :)

Thank you for your nice message. That's a great idea! I added it in the list of future videos.

What is the field of your study?

Hi Vipin, thank you for your message. What do you mean by SOTA?

Please let me know what you mean by keywords. Do you mean keywords for search papers or keywords that we report in the submission of the paper and it is reported under the abstract of the paper?

I already have a video on that. Haven't you seen it? :)

Thank you for your positive comment and the question. "Conceptual model" and "theoretical framework" are the topics of my upcoming videos. Also, in the next videos, I'll share how to link different sections of the work. I hope you find them helpful. May I ask what you are currently studying and at what level?

@@saeedsharif Digital storytelling and development of children's creativity in Kindergartens

Sorry! I overlooked your message! That's interesting topic! One of the challenges is data collection for such topics. Hope you have access to them if you need primary data!

@@saeedsharif Oh yes I am still reading more articles related to it

@@Leschampionskawuku Great! All the best with your study! Let me know if you have any question or need guidance :)

Hi, The goal of this summary section is to efficiently convey the key information from your introduction chapter, allowing readers to understand the context, problem, objectives, and overall significance of your research. It serves as a quick preview, encouraging readers to continue exploring your thesis with a clear sense of direction. You may consider addressing the following in this section: * Thesis Context and Relevance: Briefly introduce the topic's context and its relevance. * General Problem Statement: Present a concise version of the overarching problem or area of investigation. * Research Focus and Objectives: Summarize the specific focus and main objectives of your research. * Motivation and Gap Identification: Provide a concise overview of your motivation and the gap you're addressing. * Contribution and Significance: Quickly outline how your research fills the gap and its broader significance. * Methodology Overview: Provide a brief summary of your chosen research methods. * Structure of the Thesis: Give a condensed outline of the main chapters or sections of your thesis. * Transition to the Next Sections: Conclude by smoothly transitioning to the following sections within the introduction chapter. Btw, the format and outline also depend on your supervisor and institution. You should consult with your supervisor to gain a clear understanding of their expectations for this section. You can also obtain sample theses from your library that were submitted by previous students. While not all of them might be exemplary, they could still provide you with some ideas. Please let me know about about yourself and your work. :)

Hi, thank you for your comment. I have made a few videos that might help you. See the links below. I'm making a series of videos on how to do research and I believe every beginner should be able to complete their thesis or paper after watching the videos. Indeed, my goal is to teach you HOW to do it. Then, you just need to DO it! :) How and Why to Write the Context of the Study in a Research Paper: A Step-by-Step Guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zElYm_TBOnQ.html How to Write the Contributions of a Study in a Research Paper: A Step-by-Step Guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eY86SkYW-Ls.html How to Write a Problem Statement for Your Research: A Step-by-Step Guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iaGpj8ViH1w.html

@@saeedsharif Thanks for your valuable suggestions. I am in China for my study.

Interesting! Which part of China are you located? Which university?

Thank you for your comment. I didn't get your question. Could you explain more please?

Hi, tell me more about yourself and your work, please. At what level do you study? Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate student? And do you want to write your thesis or a paper?

I'm undergraduate degree and I'm médical laboratories Science student I hope to write a paper

Sorry for overlooking your message. That's great! My suggestion for your first paper is to find a few good papers as samples to follow. Watch my new video on systematic literature review. I've explained this approach for writing literature review.

Hi, thank you for your comment. What do you mean by "a combined paper"?

Hi, Here is my response to your questions: 1. I'm not sure what you mean by proving that your research model is effective. 2. Ensure you have cited some recently published works; otherwise, it may indicate that either your literature review is not up to date or your topic is outdated. 3. The choice of mixed methods depends on other factors, such as the objectives of your study too. However, since you are using both interviews and questionnaires, using a mixed methods approach sounds like a good idea. It will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the perspectives of students and teachers of English at the university level. By combining qualitative and quantitative data, you can strengthen the validity and reliability of your findings. Good luck with your research! If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask.

Thank you for the questions. 1. What I shared is best practice based on my experience. number of articles to cite depends on the context, and topic too. It is fine if you cite only 1 article to support an idea. However, citing more articles would strengthen your argument. 2. It depends on the field and topic. In the end, you have to follow the required format. But based on my experience, in social sciences it is fine to cite papers published more than 10 years ago too though you should cite some recently published articles too. If all articles have published 2 decades ago, it may mean that the topic is outdated!

@@saeedsharif Thank you so much Doctor. May you stay healthy and long to help we the young generation.

@@dasanaibrahim9232 thank you very much 😊

That's interesting! Is it a qualitative study?

I need to conduct it quantitatively Sir.

I will drop my draft of background of the study on the topic for you to advice me Sir. Thanks for your concerns.

It makes sense:)

You're most welcome! I'm happy that it was helpful. Drop me an email at saeed.pahlevansharif@gmail.com

How can I help you?
