    ICT can be used in many ways to support research. Some key ways include: 1. ICT tools can help researchers find and access information more efficiently through search engines, digital libraries, and databases. This includes finding academic publications, data, and evidence. 2. ICT allows for new ways of collaborating and communicating, such as through social media platforms, online communities, and cloud-based tools. This facilitates networking and sharing ideas. 3. ICT innovations provide methods for collecting, organizing, analyzing, and presenting research findings and publishing academic work. This includes writing and archiving publications as well as checking for plagiarism.

    Reasons for Doing Research

    Chris Freeman and Peter Tyrer, Royal College of Psychiatrists

    Information Communication Technology (ICT)


    ICT consists of hardware, software, networks, and media for collection, storage, processing, transmission, and presentation of information (voice, data, text, images)

    WHAT IS INNOVATION
    (Luecke and Katz (2003) - "Innovation.is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method . . . Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services. Innovation in ICT

    Factors Affecting the Use For ICT For Research


    Visualization Methodology Expansion Computational Intensity Across Disciplines Problem Oriented Context

    Relationship between ICT Innovation and Research (1/2)


    ICT can be used to improve the quality of academic publications, (Camussone, 2010)
    technological improvements (due to the Internet and the web 2.0) new theoretical frameworks (e.g. open innovation, open access initiatives, and crowd-sourcing)

    It should differs from conventional way of doing academic publications ICT implementation in this view should affected the structure of university and process to attain academic publications.

    Relationship between ICT Innovation and Research (2/2)


    The growing usage of the Internet, Web 2.0 applications, and the diffusion of open and collaborative paradigms, is raising concerns on the traditional model of producing, evaluating and disseminating scientific/academic knowledge. Software can be used for quality assurance, evaluating the relative originality of manuscript. (Carlson,2005)

    What is Web 2.0 and Social Media?

    The African Story

    When a gazelle wakes up in the morning, it knows that it has to run fast, faster than the lion or else it will not survive the day. When the lion wakes up, it too knows that it must run fast, faster than the weakest gazelle or else it will starve and die. It doesnt matter if you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running
    Datuk Profesor Emeritus Ir Zawawi Ismail

    The Discoverer
    It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
