Tools and Software for Research (Writing)
HAMIDUL ISLAM, University of Dhaka (shohel.nu9@gmail.com)

ABSTRACT: Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the


stock of knowledge." It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information
to increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research project may be an expansion
of past work in the field. (Wikipedia)
If you want to start your research journey first, you must know some necessary websites
and tools. Which tools are commonly used in research?
Research papers have some parts. Every part has individual software and tools. It has
been written there, part by part. I think it would be helpful for a new researcher who is at
the primary steps.

1. Quantitative Analysis: Which Statistical Software to Use?

If you know the work of SPSS well, even if you don't learn the rest of the software in the
social science background, it works fairly well. For the complex model, SmartPLS and
Amos are used for the complex model. Moderation/mediation analysis can also be done
by adding a process macro in SPSS.

● SPSS.
● SmartPLZ
● Stata.
● SAS.
● R.
● MATLAB.
● JMP.
● Python.
● Excel.
2. Qualitative Analysis Guide: Which Statistical Software to Use?

Don't panic at all when you see so much software. In the case of qualitative research,
thematic analysis can usually be done without software or using Excel. Nvivo is Atlas
widely used. You can take a look and learn if you want.

This is a list of the 8 top qualitative data analysis software.

● ATLAS.ti- A powerful QA tool that offers some AI-improved functions


● NVivo - Intuitive software offering some automation

● Quirkos - An easy to use, simplified tool


● Dedoose - A tool that enables collaboration and teamwork
● Taguette - A free, open-source, data organization option
● MonkeyLearn - AI-powered, qualitative analysis, and visualization tool
● MAXQDA - A well-established, reliable QDA Software

3. Paraphrasing and writing tools

There is a lot of paraphrasing software available on the market or in research fields. I'm
using QuilBot. It's perfect. Now Quilbot has added some new programs. Just use it, and
you will realize how much you benefit from it. You can try other software. You can also
take suggestions from your seniors.

So we can take help from grammar software. It will help us write smoothly and smartly.
You will find many Grammarly software, but you will buy the paid version to get better
service. Some of them I have listed below.

Turnitin is the best for plagiarism checks. A student ID is necessary to purchase it. Dupli
Checker, Paperrater, Plagiarisma, Search Engine Reports, PlagTracker, Plagium,
CopyLeaks, Ephorus, Quetext. But these tools are not acceptable in academic writing.

If you're a running student, ask your institute. I think they will provide you with it for free.

the Internet.

Second part

Alhamdulillah. The Almighty Allah ta ala has created us. We had no sign before. We
had no power to walk or eat. But today, we are powerful men. Now we can do
everything. Allah (GOD) has given us the strength and knowledge to think about the
world's creation.

Who has created this world? As a knowledgeable person, you should recite the
Quran daily. If you are a non-Muslim, no problem. You can also recite the Quran. The
QURAN will show you the right path to continue your best life in Dunia (in the world)
and Akhurat (paradise).

Hamidul
