  1. 0:01Hello everyone, this is the second the episode about research progress.
  2. 0:06we stopped last time talking about indicating keywords.
  3. 0:10here in our example, they are phenomena productivity,
  4. 0:13variable 1. Salary, variable 2. meals.
  5. 0:16We move to the idea of "How to search?"
  6. 0:20Most of us use the very powerful, simple, straightforward search engine “Google”.
  7. 0:27Let's for example search for "productivity."
  8. 0:31Ok, I wonder what the results would be when we search for the word productivity.
  9. 0:36The fact, we will find millions of results not just ten thousand or thousands,
  10. 0:41we have here around 602 Million results just for the word productivity.
  11. 0:46I am questioning if all of these results that we need about productivity
  12. 0:50from Wikipedia or another general website
  13. 0:53or we are just looking for something scientific,
  14. 0:55the fact that we need something scientific.
  15. 0:58So rather than using just Google.com for searching
  16. 1:03as google is searching for everything.
  17. 1:06we are looking for scientific results,
  18. 1:08Google has another search engine that is much better
  19. 1:11because this engine is searching just inside books
  20. 1:15Search engine “ Google Books”
  21. 1:21It will search for "productivity" inside websites that are related to books, how?
  22. 1:29Let's see, how it's working. Now we can write productivity within books.
  23. 1:38Click search.
  24. 1:42Approximately the results that we received previously were around 600 Million
  25. 1:47it usually is at around 10% of the exact previous number itself.
  26. 1:5260 or 70 for example,
  27. 1:54Now you cannot see the exact the number for the results
  28. 1:58but what we can see here just books about productivity
  29. 2:02why we cannot use Google.com
  30. 2:04because Google search for all results, you'll try to select but it's harder from 600 million.
  31. 2:11But it has to be as we said that there will be millions.
  32. 2:13I choose a good book, no problem.
  33. 2:16You will find Millions of book results
  34. 2:22There will be 7, 10, or 12 million books,
  35. 2:26Whoever wants to write about this topic he can.
  36. 2:30I choose a good book and start to read, no problem.
  37. 2:32when you start to search they have another accurate and proper product
  38. 2:37that's better for scientific research
  39. 2:40Now we will close normal Google, and also Google books.
  40. 2:44and we will move to Google Scholar.com
  41. 2:49we could have the interface in Arabic "Scientific research"
  42. 2:53that is called Albahs Alemi (which means Scientific Researcher)
  43. 2:56Actually, it promises to provide for you a specific matter that is very important.
  44. 3:01We agreed previously there are ways to write and produce huge scientific research,
  45. 3:06"deductive and inductive"
  46. 3:08and what are the products of it? "Applied and Basic"
  47. 3:12Great when you search for "productivity"
  48. 3:18I will get you the results that related to the ways "Applied and Basic"
  49. 3:26in any products that have been created with "Applied or Basic"
  50. 3:29or by "deductive or inductive"
  51. 3:31this what you will get in the result.
  52. 3:33What if the search engine will notify you that this a book aside.
  53. 3:37On the side, look, click it or not, it's up to you.
  54. 3:41we have now 3.7 Million instead of 600 million that was before
  55. 3:52when we have done General search in just in Google,
  56. 3:57It was in Google.com it was 600 million and more
  57. 4:01In Google books around 60 million.
  58. 4:04so in papers thesis and dissertation and applied and basic
  59. 4:09and that are made by deductive or inductive
  60. 4:12It will be around 3,4 or 5 million,
  61. 4:16it depends on the topic that you are forcing on searching.
  62. 4:20What should I do now?
  63. 4:24How to read and choose from the 3 or 4 million?
  64. 4:28my advice to you is to read the very first 100, 200, or 300 titles.
  65. 4:35What are these titles as you can see here in the hyperlinks?
  66. 4:39"What determines productivity?"
  67. 4:43"Beyond productivity paradox"
  68. 4:44this is what you need to read.
  69. 4:46what should I read? just this title or author or the journal?
  70. 4:50or the publisher or the abstract that has been written under
  71. 4:52Now you just need to read the title.
  72. 4:57How many should I read? the minimum around 100 or 200 titles.
  73. 5:04I prefer to get to 300 or 400 titles, it depends on the depth or the time
  74. 5:07or also that specialization that you are searching for
  75. 5:10if I found out a title that is interesting for me
  76. 5:13that I need to read out its details afterward
  77. 5:15we take this link and we'll put it in another tab
  78. 5:19Now we are moving to search and continue reading
  79. 5:23Now I'm moving with the search result in Google
  80. 5:27I moving from the first page to the second page.
  81. 5:31How is diversity and productivity-related?
  82. 5:35Therefore, if you have a variable that you search afterward "diversity"
  83. 5:39so this title is important for you for, so now we can put it aside and save it.
  84. 5:42We keep reading.
  85. 5:44"psychological theory of educational productivity"
  86. 5:47Keep in mind that we are just searching with one word "productivity"
  87. 5:51Therefore, if you are searching for a topic that is related to education
  88. 5:54or psychological theories put this paper link and save it.
  89. 5:59"Trade and productivity"
  90. 6:02if it is not education and not trade, "performance pay and productivity"
  91. 6:07Keep in mind that we had keywords before that, we used salary and meals,
  92. 6:13if you see that the topic is related to this performance and pay
  93. 6:17So you can choose this paper.
  94. 6:19Continue, "Quality" Keep in mind this is a book do not check it out this now.
  95. 6:24the pioriry now is for scientific research.
  96. 6:27"Human capital investment" Indeed, this one could important.
  97. 6:31Most likely while surfing like that, you'll find around 1 or 2 titles per page
  98. 6:37or maybe 3 or 4 titles.
  99. 6:39so if you will keep surfing around 100 topics as each page has 10 results
  100. 6:48Each page you might like 2 or 3, we talk about 20 up to 30 titles
  101. 6:52that you need to read and comprehend them.
  102. 6:57"The frequency distribution of scientific productivity"
  103. 7:00For example, all the titles that they are related or close to your search.
  104. 7:06Like industry information technology,
  105. 7:09keep in mind that now we are not really focusing on the results
  106. 7:14that have a specific product
  107. 7:16We just need to read about productivity in general.
  108. 7:19Let's look around until the other pages will load.
  109. 7:23Let's just add one more word.
  110. 7:28Word number 2 that you have chosen, here it was salary then click enter.
  111. 7:33Do you remember the search results that we had before and how many?
  112. 7:36it was around 3.7 million
  113. 7:39I'm wondering how many results when we just add one more word.
  114. 7:43it has been reduced up to 90%, now it is 401 thousand results
  115. 7:48here in this part.
  116. 7:51why you would reduce results like that?
  117. 7:56because the search engine started thinking with you
  118. 7:59You want to search for results not just "productivity" but also "salary"
  119. 8:03so this word for us is a variable, what we're going to do afterward?
  120. 8:06When we had just one word and we've read around 200 or 300 titles.
  121. 8:11My advice to you the more words you add you just read the first two pages around 10, 20 titles.
  122. 8:17Whenever you look for more titles that is related to your topic
  123. 8:21that is in your imagination
  124. 8:24"The impact of productivity based insensitive on faculty salary based compensation"
  125. 8:29If my topic is related, so I will put this link in another tab
  126. 8:35I will keep it because I will have a look at it after, then keep reading/surfing.
  127. 8:39"Wage research" no to related
  128. 8:43"Evidence for Academic scientist.."
  129. 8:46"Gender differences in faculty productivity satisfaction and salary what really separates us"
  130. 8:54If the word satisfaction or salary are from the variables, I can choose it.
  131. 8:58we still have another variable.
  132. 9:00Now we can add meals after the word salary then click enter
  133. 9:06the search results was "productivity" 3.7 million
  134. 9:10when we added "salary" became 400 thousands
  135. 9:13when we add the third word or the third variable "meals"
  136. 9:17Can you imagine how much will it get reduced? Up to 90% again, so now it is 34000.
  137. 9:23So you think that you now can add your own title and put it in Google,
  138. 9:29we are not sure that you have written it accurately
  139. 9:32you have written it with correct terminology and with the right variables.
  140. 9:35after you've added the third variable and now you have around 34,000
  141. 9:39now you can choose the links or title that's related to your topic.
  142. 9:43I am in Egypt, the United Emirates, Saudi Arabia, or Algeria Tunisia, but the results are in the UK.
  143. 9:49Now it's not important but we just need to choose as close as we can
  144. 9:53to these the three variables that we have.
  145. 9:56It will matter for us the way he explains the problem there.
  146. 10:00then we will understand how to write the problem in this topic
  147. 10:02then we can read literature that the researcher has used in the topic
  148. 10:05in general before the part related to the UK.
  149. 10:08It will be useful for us.
  150. 10:09that's how you keep reading, now we can imagine two matters.
  151. 10:15Now I want to get closer to the "Banking industry"
  152. 10:19if you want to get close to the banking industry as an industry or as keyword
  153. 10:23you can add it but after you've added the main variables
  154. 10:26Now it gets lower but not the same rate, we reached around 22900
  155. 10:31or if you like a specific word while reading for example "factors"
  156. 10:36so now you can add the word "Factor"
  157. 10:39or you can add a word that is more accurate in the specialization.
  158. 10:42Not just any banking "retail banking"
  159. 10:45so search results will get reduced again
  160. 10:49Here we reduce the number of search results and are very focused.
  161. 10:53and the number that got reduced is feasible and related to our topic,
  162. 10:56"The impact of compensation on employee
  163. 11:00performance empirical evidence from the banking sector of Pakistan"
  164. 11:05I'm here in Egypt or United Emirates..etc.
  165. 11:11if this paper is in the main area focus of your research
  166. 11:14and you can put so you can read how the researcher has written it.
  167. 11:16what literature has he used?
  168. 11:18What ideas has he used? How he has collected data, etc.?
  169. 11:21Right after adding the second word,
  170. 11:25we just read the very first 10 or 20 titles, or the first two or three pages.
  171. 11:29What is the result of that?
  172. 11:31Now you can have around 20 to 30 opened tabs.
  173. 11:37Keep in mind that Google Scholar is a search engine or database
  174. 11:41no, it is just search engine
  175. 11:44what I mean that just get you what you're looking for
  176. 11:47and get you to the database or the owner
  177. 11:49but it's its responsibility to provide you with the document itself
  178. 11:53so I will go to one of these websites that I found before.
  179. 11:57Most likely it will be one of the databases that has this paper or thesis
  180. 12:03and if you want them you have to register and read this paper, you will pay or subscribe.
  181. 12:08"What determines productivity"
  182. 12:11The minimum they will provide you is the title, the abstract for free
  183. 12:17tell me who is the author, and name of the journal or the publisher
  184. 12:22when I click here to download full text
  185. 12:25it will be completely free or it will ask me to pay.
  186. 12:29So if we look around the 30, 40, 50 titles
  187. 12:33just around 10% for free so what shall I do for the rest of the 90%
  188. 12:40How could I get without a subscription or paying to get them freely.
  189. 12:44the alternative is to increase the number of search results
  190. 12:48for example around 100 titles that you'll read not just around 20 to 30
  191. 12:52because just 10% of 20 or 30 will be just around two or three papers.
  192. 13:00So if I don't have a subscription and I cannot register
  193. 13:03and my University does not provide me this subscription
  194. 13:06because it's normally a Master student or PhD student or professional researcher
  195. 13:09universities provide for them, even now in Egypt, we have "Knowledge Bank"
  196. 13:14that they provide a huge amount of science with its different branches in papers and theses and journals.
  197. 13:21So what am I going to do? I increase the search results
  198. 13:25Now I will search for 200 or 300 results
  199. 13:28so if I would get like just 10% of the 200 or 300 so it will around 20 or 30 papers
  200. 13:32and it will be qualified and qualify you as well
  201. 13:36to produce your paper or the science that you are working on.
  202. 13:40Given that you are a registered with University will provide you with these subscriptions for free.
  203. 13:45When you get access, what should you do?
  204. 13:47The minimum is to read the title, abstract and get introduced to this research
  205. 13:55how the research has been written.
  206. 13:57so if it is not provided, so the minimum to read the abstract
  207. 14:01so if I found the whole paper for free.
  208. 14:04so now you need to read the whole of it.
  209. 14:08so if I can't read completely because of time limitation
  210. 14:11just read the introduction and conclusion
  211. 14:15the minimum is to read the introduction and conclusion
  212. 14:18I advise you to read a bit of the literature itself
  213. 14:21but the minimum is the title, abstract and conclusion.
  214. 14:27The step forward is to read literature and read the whole paper completely
  215. 14:33because you'll have 30 or 40 papers this is what we want you to do
  216. 14:37afterward, we'll see how to use this science and how to apply, okay
