PIT FALLS IN UNIVERSITY RESEARCH:
Situation: Rapid expansion in information technology and the speed in collection,storage and retrieval capabilities exceed the mundane and customary evaluation procedures of the research report,besides, laxity and dilution in identification of specialized areas in research and respective experts lead to the proliferation of ''JACK OF ALL TRADES'' in advisers and examiners.In addition to this''COPY AND PASTE'' facilities leads to duplication and replication of studies.
HOW TO FIX THE SITUATION?
1, Modify the research program regulation format, with more emphasis on course work with more focus on acquiring in depth ''DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE'' related to the topic.
2,Adequate research directives and adviser rating,merited upon innovation,development and creation of patents towards the solution of imminent problems of the surrounding community.
3,A triangular arrangement involving the government,industry,and universities in topic selection,funding,supervision,and evaluation to provide solutions to the problems at hand may improve the situation.
4,Research auditing should be a part of routine''ACADEMIC AUDITING'' in the universities, and may employ the technique of ''CORRELATION ANALYSIS,META ANALYSIS'' of the results will help to maintain quality and originality in research.
