Summary
Research process is systematic inquiry for quest in researcher’s mind
and is executed with various activities. Reading and reviewing the
body of knowledge in search and pursuit of inquiry is a critical
activity that researcher has to undertake along with collection of
information, statistical analysis and presentation.
Application of computer and information technology (IT) to analyze
complex data has made complicated research designs practical.
Computers have by now become an indispensable part of research
process in the physical and behavioral sciences as well as in the
humanities.
The research student in this age of computer technology must be
exposed to the methods and use of computers in order to improve
the efficiency and effectiveness of the research work. Objective of
this presentation is to provide an overview of various IT tools and
methods of improving research work. 2

Basics of Computer
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Input
Devices
(Enters the
computer
program
and data
into
internal
storage)
Output
Devices
(Records
results
from
internal
storage)
Control Unit
(Interprets the computer program,
directs the operation of all components
and units of the system)
Internal Storage
(Holds the computer program and data
and makes them available for processing
Arithmetic – Logical Unit
(Performs all arithmetic operations and
logical comparisons)
13
How Computer Works ?
In terms of overall sequence of events a computer
program is input into the internal storage and
transmitted to the control unit, where it becomes
the basis for overall sequencing and control of
computer system.
After designated calculations and comparisons
have been completed output is obtained from the
internal storage of the CPU.

Characteristics of Computer
1. Speed
2. Diligence
3. Storage
4. Accuracy
5. Automation
6. Binary Digits
15
Characteristics of Computers
1. Speed – computers can perform calculations in
just a few seconds that human beings would
need weeks to do by hand.
2. Diligence – being a machine a computer does
not suffer from the human traits of tiredness
and lack of concentration. It will perform
millions of calculations exactly in the same
speed and accuracy as the first one.

Characteristics of Computers
3. Storage – Although the storage capacity of the
present day computer is much more than its earlier
counterpart but even then the internal memory of
the CPU is only large enough to retain a certain
amount of information just as human brains selects
and retains what it feels to be important and
relegates unimportant details to the back of the
mind or just forgets them.
4. Accuracy – the computers accuracy is
consistently high. Errors in the machinery can occur
but due to increased efficiency in error detecting
techniques these seldom lead to false results.
17
Characteristics of Computers
5. Automation – Once a program is in the
computers memory all that is needed is the
individual instructions to it which are transferred
one after the other to the control unit for
execution.
18
10. 7/2/2014
10
Characteristics of Computers
6. Binary digits – computers use only binary
number system (a system in which all the numbers
are represented by a combination of two digits one
and zero) and thus operates to the base of two,
compared to the ordinary decimal arithmetic
which operates on a base of ten. Computers use
binary system because the electrical devices can
understand only ‘ON’ (1) or ‘OFF’ (0)
19
Information Technology
• The branch of engineering that deals with the use
of computers and telecommunications to retrieve
and store and transmit information*
• Information technology (IT) is the application of
computers and telecommunications equipment
to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate
data**
• Basic function as per Value Engineering: To record
and retrieve data
• IT deals with overall system including computer
and communication.

Needs of Researcher
• Literature Review:
– Read Journals, Books, Website, eJournals, Articles, Thesis, Research
Papers
– Visit library and Search for requisite topic and literature
– Taking notes and maintaining references for bibliography and citation
• Data Collection:
– Collect secondary data from archives, specialized institutions,
Government Organizations
– Collect primary data through personal interviews, Questionnaires(
Letter, Mail, email)
• Data Analysis:
– Arrangement of Data
– Apply statistical methods and conduct calculations
– Conduct complex and iterative analysis eg. Segmentation
30
Literature Review
• A Very Important Step in all the Research
activities
• At least 70% understanding comes by reading
• You can not review what you don’t understand
• It gives formulation for your research
• It indicates that you have understood the
important issues about the topic

Concerns for Researcher
1. Improper Library Management: The libraries are not managed systematically. Much of
the precious time of the researchers is spent in looking for books, reports, newspapers,
etc. rather than searching relevant information from them.
2. Insufficient Interaction: There is no proper interaction between researchers and the
business establishments, government institutions, etc. This leads to a great deal of data
going untapped.
3. Lack of Confidence in data sharing: Most of the business establishments are of the
opinion that, researchers can misuse the data provided by them. As such, they are
reluctant to divulge details of their company. This affects the research studies for which
that particular data may be of utmost importance.
4. Lack of Resources : Most of the institutions lack computing facilities and lack of budget
for providing common research facilities. Though such is made available, resource
constraint for making it available for 24X 7 , renders it non useful.
5. Data Handling: Researchers are essentially concerned with huge storage of data,
their faster retrieval when required and processing of data with the aid of various
techniques.

Skills Required for Researcher to utilize IT
Researchers interested in developing skills in computer
analysis while consulting the computer centers must be
aware of the following steps
1. Basic skills in handling computer and internet
2. Data organization and coding
3. Storing the data in the computer
4. Selection of appropriate statistical measures / techniques
5. Selection of appropriate software packages
6. Execution of the computer programs
7. Attitude change in order to do the research work in
different way. i.e. using computer
45
20. 7/2/2014
20
Limitations of IT
1. Researchers should also be aware of the following limitations of computer
based analysis
2. Computerized analysis requires setting up of an elaborate system of
monitoring collection and feeding of data.
3. All these require time, effort and money. Hence computer based analysis may
not prove economical in case of small projects
4. Various items of details which are not being specifically fed to computer may
get lost sight of
5. The computer does not think; it can only execute the instructions of a
thinking person. If poor data or faulty programs are introduced in to the
computer the data analysis would not be worthwhile. The expression garbage
in garbage out describes this limitation very well.
46
Conclusion
1. Time and effort required to undertake research can be minimized with
appropriate use of Information Technology
2. Reduction in effort due to IT as well as increased speed and access can
improve quality of research work.
3. Time saved can be utilized for learning new concepts and acquiring new
skills that would certainly help in improve the quality of research work.
4. Overall research process can be followed meticulously with proper
record maintenance and that can be made available for further
researchers (at Institute level)
5. Effective use of IT, can help save the research cost.
6. Behavioral change management is necessary to adopt IT in research and
altitudinal change with innovative approach can help realize the
effectiveness of IT better.
7. IT solutions are being aligned with the way human beings consume
information and will become more human friendly in future.
