Knowledge Sources or Ways of Knowing
• Intuition: Takes forms such as belief, faith, intuition, etc. Based on feelings rather than hard, cold "facts.“
• In research we often use this knowledge source for coming up with an initial idea for research
![Page 22: How to Do Research: Seven Steps to Successful Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052410/54c6895d4a795949318b45b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Knowledge Sources or Ways of Knowing
• Intuition: Takes forms such as belief, faith, intuition, etc. Based on feelings rather than hard, cold "facts.“
• In research we often use this knowledge source for coming up with an initial idea for research
• Authority: Information received from experts, books, etc. Its strength depends on the strength of these sources.
• We use this kind of source for literature review

• Empirical: Based on demonstrable, objective facts ,determined through observation and/or experimentation.
• Used when we want to study the behavior of a complex piece of software or the accuracy of an algorithm using benchmark data sets.

First Pass of Reading
• The first pass reading should be done to answer the following questions:– What is the research problem the paper attempts to
address? – What is the motivation of the research work? – Is the research work attempting to overcome the
weaknesses of existing approaches? – What is new in this paper?– How are the research claims substantiated?– Conclusions and pointers to future work

• Try to map your problem into a framework with known approaches for solutions– Optimization– Graph theory– Probabilistic– Divide and conquer
• Strive for simplicity and avoid complex solutions
• Sit on your solution for few days and then come back to it– This helps in locating weaknesses/flaws
that generally get overlooked in the initial excitement

• Begin by preparing an outline of your paper by noting down the important points you want to cover in each section of your manuscript
• Remember, you are trying to “sell” your work to reviewers who will determine the fate of your paper. Make a compelling case in the introduction section of your paper because by the time a reviewer has finished this section, she has already made an initial decision about whether to accept or reject the paper. She will read the rest of the paper looking for evidence to support her decision.

of the previous proposed solutions? How does the proposed solution overcomes all or some of the limitations of the existing approaches? What are the key components of the suggested approach and results?

• The best outcome you can hope is “Accept with a minor Revision.” Celebrate it because it is rare.
• Pay careful attention to the comments/suggestions of the reviewers. Try to incorporate them as much as possible and revise your paper for resubmission.
• Include a cover letter thanking the reviewers and explaining point by point how you have accommodated most of their concerns
• In the event your paper is not accepted at your publication of first choice, don’t lose heart. Browse through next tier list of publications and submit there.
