Report of the Activity:
As it is a well-known fact that, research is an integral part of Academics, research has now become mandatory for the purpose of promotions under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) and also for NAAC accreditation. However, academicians are not expected to go for fundamental research. They are likely to study a research problem or situation, where the intention is to identify facts that help solve the problem or deal with the situation. In fact, there is a wide scope for academicians to go for research. They may conduct a research project and also Present or publish their research findings on national and international platforms. They may get funding for minor and major research projects or write research articles as a chapter in an edited volume or they may write it for peer-reviewed journals, journals on UGC notified list, as well as even for Scopus and Web of Science journals.
With this background, it was decided to organize one day workshop under Faculty Development Program (FDP) on Developing Responsible Research Proposals and Writing for Scopus and Web of Science Journals for faculty members in The S.I.A. College of Higher Education, Dombivli (E) in collaboration with the Mumbai University’s Garware Institute of Career and Education Development, (GICED) Mumbai, was organized on 14th August 2023 at Auditorium of The S.I.A. College of Higher Education, Dombivli (E). The workshop was intended to disseminate knowledge about developing responsible research proposals and writing for Scopus and Web of Science journals. The participants included 34 faculty members (8 Male and 26 Female) who belonged to diverse disciplines including Finance, Accounts, Human Resources, Marketing, Economics, Information Technology, Humanities, Environmental Management, Foundation courses and Environmental Studies. Altogether there were 4 sessions that dealt with different aspects of research in academics.
The inaugural function was held at 10 a.m. Dr. Nitinkumar M. Patil, convenor of the Research Committee made the welcome address and introduced the resource person.

She stated the purpose behind organizing this workshop. After ice-breaking activity, the session of the workshop started. The focus of this session was on responsible topic selection for society and industry. In this session, Dr. Keyukumar sir gave some suggestions to the participants. He suggested that the researcher should focus on his own interests and career aspirations, he should read published journals and discuss research topic ideas with Ph.D. supervisors and also with industry experts. He also suggested that the researcher should consider the weaknesses of the past findings and the research gap. Elaborating on this topic he discussed the types of research gaps including evidence gap, knowledge gap, practical-knowledge gap, methodological gap, empirical gap and population gap. While discussing how to write a project proposal, he suggested that the title of the project should indicate clearly what your research question is. In addition, he revealed the areas of focus, while writing the abstract, background, rationale, research aim and objectives, research design, methodology, data collection, data analysis, ethical considerations and timeline. In the second session, Dr. Keyurkumar sir talked about how to write a winning research proposal. He emphasized the selection of the topic, the importance of a catchy title, content in the introduction, writing a literature review, a statement of the purpose of the study, methodology measurement and analysis. In addition, he discussed the sources of information, the importance of references, limitations of the methodology etc. Mrs. Booma Halpeth, vice principal and member of the research committee, shared her own experience and asked for more clarification on the literature review. This was followed by the session devoted to the creation of a profile in Scopus, IRCID, Scholar One and Google Scholar. This session was conducted in the IT laboratory of the college. Dr. Hasitkumar Nagariya, a member of the research committee provided the required technical assistance for this session. In the fourth session, Dr. Keyurkumar sir discussed research paper writing. In this session, he talked about topic selection and structure of the research paper, theory testing, reporting and publication of the research paper in Scopus, ABDC and WoS journals.
Lastly, an additional session was conducted for question answers and sharing of participants’ experiences. The valedictory function was conducted under the presidentship of the Principal, Dr. Mrs. Padmaja Arvind. Dr. Shilpa Malani, a member of the research committee proposed the vote of thanks.
