DESCRIPTION:There is increasing pressure on all academics to improve t
 heir publication list. More published research is required and academi
 cs are continually being told that they have to publish in better jour
 nals. To achieve this there is an increasing need for more rigour and 
 relevance in academic research. However these two critical concepts ar
 e not all that well understood. Both faculty and research degree candi
 dates often have difficulty with these concepts and that can lead to m
 uddled arguments in dissertations and papers. In addition the concepts
  of generalisation\, replication\, integrity and value are sometimes r
 aised when academic research is being evaluated.\n\n\nThis seminar add
 resses how to improve academic research and how to present it so that 
 it is clear it is both rigorous and relevance. The seminar addresses t
 hese issues as they affect research for degree purposes as well as res
 earch for publication in peer reviewed journals. The seminar is intera
 ctive with opportunities for the participants to contribute as well as
  ask question. The participants will have an opportunity to evaluate s
 ome published papers for themselves.
