Abstract
Various “Research Tools” are available to expedite the research process.
One of the most widely used tools is reference management tools such as
EndNote and Mendeley. Imagine how long it takes to change the format of
the references from Vancouver style to IEEE style. Now, with the help of
technology, the time consumed will be limited to a few seconds. There are
many AI-based tools available today that simplify the process of
“Collecting, Writing, Publishing and Disseminating your Research”. Dr.
Nader has collected more than 700 research tools in his online toolbox,
which is available to everyone. These tools are constantly updated to
always provide researchers with the latest, most powerful, and most
efficient. In this webinar, you will be acquainted with various research tools
that help you to find a suitable topic for research, collect and evaluate
appropriate articles on that topic, prepare an article from the collected
materials, and publish it in a suitable journal. Finally, promote your
publication for receiving a higher impact factor.
Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools, Research visibility,
Research impact, University rankings
