NETSEARCH: Demystifying the research process of a student during their research project
(2018)
Mooney, Aidan; Maycock, Keith
Abstract:
Conducting research is a difficult task. Learners, typically with little domain competence, are faced with many challenges when commencing a research project, from choosing a topic, to constructing effective search queries implemented across multiple academic repositories. The 21st century learner is also expected to use technology as a tool; to research, systematise, evaluate, and communicate information effectively and seamlessly, in addition to knowledge creation. This multiplicity of demands creates a complicated tapestry of challenges for both supervisors of projects and students alike. Tools like TurnItIn, which is a plagiarism detection service, attempt to dissuade students from merely being passive researchers and move them to becoming active researchers. However, these tools work only at a surface level and a supervisor is completely unaware of the processes used to garner research articles, be this in a structured research approach or merely obtaining a bibliography list f...

Why educational research should not just solve problems, but should cause them as well
(2019)
Biesta, Gert; Filippakou, Ourania; Wainwright, Emma; Aldridge, David
Abstract:
As we move into the second year of our tenure as editors of the British Educational Research Journal, we offer some reflections on the state of educational research in the UK and beyond, particularly in relation to recent developments in research policy and research practice. We argue that in addition to enhancing the usefulness of educational research, that is, its capacity for solving problems, there is an ongoing need for research that identifies problems and, in that sense, causes problems. This kind of research challenges taken for granted assumptions about what is going on and what should be going on, and speaks back to expectations from policy and practice, not in order to deny such expectations but to engage in an ongoing debate about the legitimacy of such expectations – a debate that crucially should have a public quality and hence should take place in the public domain.

Nurse-identified patient care and health services research priorities in the United Arab Emirates: a Delphi study
(2019)
Brenner, Maria
Abstract:
Background: The need for improved research on ill health has been recognized internationally and locally in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE Nursing and Midwifery Council recently committed to enhancing the status and contributions of nursing in healthcare research across the UAE by establishing a National Committee for Research Development. This study using a Delphi method to identify research priorities from the perspective of nurses delivering frontline healthcare. Methods: A two-phase Delphi design was implemented with 1032 nurses participating in phase one of the study and 1339 in phase two. Results: The most important priority was patient safety and healthcare professionals? awareness of international patient safety goals (including staffing levels and shift length) and potential effects on patient safety. Other important priorities were infection control practices and management of communicable diseases. Conclusions: These priorities may inform nursing research progra...

The Design and validation of a low-cost mobile robotic testbed supporting path planning, team building and string stability research
(2012)
Johnson, Michael
Abstract:
This thesis presents the design and development of a low-cost testbed for distributed mobile robotic research, its validation in both the academic research and educational spaces and the application of this development platform to the emerging eld of string stability in order to propose an a ordable research tool for localisation, education, path following and automatic convoy formation research and development. Despite the increase in available robotic platforms and associated enabling technologies such as localisation and communication, there exists a requirement for an a ordable generic testbed that will facilitate entry into the distributed mobile robotic research space. This thesis addresses this shortcoming by presenting the design and validation of a distributed mobile robotic testbed which facilitates research and development. The development and realisation of the closed-loop mobile robotic testbed, complete with oor area, localisation and communications support, is prese...

A framework for classifying and comparing architecture-centric software evolution research
(2013)
Jamshidi, Pooyan; Ghafari, Mohammad; Aakash, Ahmad; Pahl, Claus
Abstract:
Architecture-centric software evolution (ACSE) supports frequent business and technical change cycles in software at higher abstraction levels. This requires evolution in system structure and behavior that could be modeled, analyzed and evolved in a formal way. Existing research and practices comprises a wide spectrum of evolution-centric research in terms of processes, frameworks and empirical studies to tackle ACSE. However, there is no unified framework providing systematic insight into classification and comparison for state-of-the-art in ACSE research. We present a taxonomic scheme that provides a basis for an extensive classification and comparison of existing ACSE research approaches - leading to a reflection on areas of future research. Our search covers 8 major research databases, resulting in 4138 papers searched and 60 peer-reviewed papers considered for data collection. We then performed a systematic mapping based on a quantitative and qualitative extraction of the incl...

Community-Engaged Student Research: Online Resources, Real World Impact
(2012)
Bates, Catherine; Burns, Kenneth
Abstract:
This paper offers case studies from two Irish Higher Education Institutions on the benefits and challenges of using on-line databases and application processes to recruit students to community-engaged research projects. We briefly introduce the principles of Community-Based Research (CBR), showing how this pedagogy allows students to collaborate with underserved community partners and not-for-profit organisations on real-life research projects, preparing them for the workplace, and enhancing their college experience. Staff in University College Cork (UCC) and Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) use digital resources to offer students the opportunity to browse live research topics, suggested to us by communities, on our websites, along with application forms and process maps for community-based research projects. In this paper we draw on our respective years’ experience of coordinating community-based research (also known as science shop) programmes in DIT (Students Learning With Co...

Fisheries Research Centre: Report for 1994-1995
(1997)
Fisheries Research Centre
Abstract:
This combined annual Report for the years 1994 and 1995 span a critical period in the history of the Fisheries Research Centre. During 1994 the funding support from the EC STRIDE Initiative came to an end, having achieved a notable and wholly innovative impact on marine R&D activities in Ireland. The scientific undertakings at the core of the STRIDE Programme have been maintained through a number of contract research positions at the FRC, where they continue to make a critical contribution to Irish marine science. The year 1995 marked the culmination of almost a century of fisheries related research carried out under the direct control of the Government Service, having been initiated in 1900 by the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland. On 1 January 1996 the Fisheries Research Centre transferred to the Marine Institute, and thus this FRC Report is the first to be published under the new masthead. The future of Irish marine research, and in particular th...

Abstract:
RICHE was the response to a call under HEALTH-2009-3.3-5, with the title of 'European child health research platform'. The call text asked us to “address the diversity and fragmentation in child health research in Europe in an inclusive multidisciplinary way, identifying existing research programmes in Member States, recent advances and identification of gaps to explore road maps for the future of child health research in Europe”. Project structure A consortium, with a final total of 23 partners, and two associate (i.e. unfunded) partners, responded to this call. We designed a project with a linear structure, where the main focus of activity moved from work on the Inventory, and Indicators and Measurement, in Year 1, to work on Gaps in Year 2, finishing with the preparation of the Roadmap in year 3. The final 6 months (Year 4) were largely dissemination. The Platform, which is instantiated in our website, supported all of the other parts,, and was a focus for communicatio...

Implementation of the action plan for health research 2009-2013 first year report 2009-2010
(2011)
Health Research Group
Abstract:
In November 2009 the Government published an Action Plan for Health Research. The Plan was prepared by the Health Research Group following a commitment set out in Building Ireland’s Smart Economy (December 2008). The Action Plan, which was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, provides the lead on national priorities and resource allocation in health research. The Action Plan was prepared to prioritise a programme of actions essential to creating a health research system which supports outstanding individuals, working in world class facilities and conducting leading edge research focused on the needs of patients and the public. The HRG is committed to measuring the success of the Action Plan by the extent to which it meets these deliverables by 2013. One year on, this report reviews the progress being made to implement the Plan.

Making sense of diverse data sources: reflections on an applied research project
(1995)
Paris, Chris
Abstract:
The aim of my paper today is to explore some of the tensions between 'practical' and theoretical issues involved in applied social analysis. I try to accomplish this aim by reflecting on an applied research project on demographic trends and housing need in Northern Ireland (Heenan, Gray and Paris, 1994). I do not simply summarise that project, however, but use it as the base from which to raise some wider issues which confront researchers and policy makers working in applied social research. The rest of this paper is in five parts. Section 2 introduces the applied research study and outlines some of its main results. Section 3 identifies the strategic housing policy context within which the research was undertaken. Section 4 focuses on some of the research issues involved in analysing demographic change. Section 5 explores the relationships between demographic analysis and public sector housing need assessment methodologies. My conclusions are set out in Section 6.

Transforming cultures: Open Access and the research-teaching nexus
(2011)
BRENNAN, NIAMH
Abstract:
A cultural transformation is needed to overcome the paradox at the heart of academia, namely: the people involved in teaching and research communities are often the same people `just wearing different hats? and convergence is already taking place in the world around them - so how is it possible that their activities can remain separate? Ireland?s HEA-supported open access research and teaching initiatives were used to illustrate the opportunities which are available in countries throughout Europe and to point the way forward. The authors reiterate the recommendation to the European Commission made in the Ghent Declaration of February 2011 ? 'to develop policies, research programmes and infrastructure platforms that support and advance the convergence of the four open initiatives' - open access, open data, open source software and open educational resources, noting that 'additional work is needed in other areas to achieve a broadening of research, scholarship and lea...

Equality studies, the academy and the role of research in emancipatory social change
(1999)
Lynch, Kathleen
Abstract:
If people are structurally excluded from democratic engagement with research practice, they are precluded from assessing its validity in an informed manner. They are effectively disenfranchised from controlling the generation and dissemination of knowledge about themselves and/or the institutions within which they live and work. This issue is especially acute for marginalised groups and communities who are the subjects of so much social scientific research. Such research is frequently undertaken without the involvement of the groups or communities in question. The ownership of data gives researchers and policymakers power over the groups which may add to their marginalisation; there are now people who can claim to know you better than you know yourself. Without democratic engagement therefore, there is a real danger that research knowledge can be used for manipulation and control rather than challenging the injustices experienced. This paper analyses the role of research in relation...

Lessons from a Community-Based Participatory Research Project: Older People's and Researchers' Reflections
(2010)
TIMONEN, VIRPI; DOYLE, MARTHA
Abstract:
The ethical and practical importance of actively involving older people in the research process is increasingly articulated in the gerontology literature. This article contributes to the literature by outlining a community-based participatory research project that centered on the design and administration of a questionnaire exploring older people?s use and perceptions of community services. The authors discuss both older adults? and the researchers? views of the participatory process. The key lessons and challenges that emerged from the research are analyzed using the nine principles of community-based participatory research outlined by Israel et al. The authors question whether older people in all instances seek extensive involvement in all aspects of participatory projects and raise a number of questions that require further analysis before a robust and viable understanding of participatory research that safeguards against the tokenistic involvement of older people can be developed.

Biomimetics in design-oriented information systems research
(2015)
Kaufmann, Michael; Portmann, Edy
Abstract:
Modern information systems (ISs) are becoming increasingly complex. Simultaneously, organizational changes are occurring more often and more rapidly. Therefore, emergent behavior and organic adaptivity are key advantages of ISs. In this paper, a design science research (DSR) question for design-oriented information systems research (DISR) is proposed: Can the application of biomimetic principles to IS design result in the creation of value by innovation? Accordingly, the properties of biological IS are analyzed, and these insights are crystallized into a theoretical framework to address the three major aspects of biomimetic ISs: user experience, information processing, and management cybernetics. On this basis, the research question is elaborated together with a starting point for a research methodology in biomimetic information systems.

The research in progress reported in this poster contributes to a larger research effort to provide a readable summary of search results that synthesise relevant publications or web pages to provide results that meet four C’s: comprehensive, concise, coherent, and correct, as a more useful alternative to un-synthesised result lists. The scope of this research is limited to searching for and synthesising Design Science Research (DSR) publications that present the results of DSR, as an example problem domain.

<p>BACKGROUND: Despite increased investment in primary care research and development (R&D), the level of engagement of primary healthcare professionals with research remains poor. The aim of this study is to assess the level of research activity and capacity for research among primary healthcare professionals in a health authority of over one million people in a mixed urban/rural setting in the West of Ireland.</p> <p>METHODS: A questionnaire, incorporating the R+D Culture Index, was sent to primary healthcare professionals in the HSE Western Region. Baseline characteristics were analysed with the use of one-way ANOVA and Chi-square test and the dependence of R&D Culture Index score on all sixteen available covariates was examined using multiple regression and regression tree modelling.</p> <p>RESULTS: There was a 54% response rate to the questi...

Developing inclusive research methodologies: testing the voice centred relational method of qualitative data analysis in a collaborative research project on early school leaving
(2009)
Millar, Michelle; Canavan, John; Byrne, Anne
Abstract:
Committed to developing collaborative research processes and practices, this study sought to establish research partnerships between academic researchers, activists working in a context of social exclusion and those experiencing social exclusion. Responding to ideological and methodological challenges to democratise research processes and practices, the paper discusses the process of establishing collaborative research partnerships while assessing a methodological adaptation of the Voice Centred Relational (VCR) method of data analysis. The VCR method was used to interpret data on different experiences of school with a particular focus on early school leaving among a group of teenagers in a rural area in the West of Ireland. The VCR method claims to clarify conventions for the interpretation of qualitative data. Arguably, this removes some of the technical barriers that inhibit the possibility for the researched to become active interpreters of the data that they present to research...

Narrative in nursing research: An overview of three approaches
(2016)
Casey, Briege; Proudfoot, Denise; Corbally, Melissa
Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this paper is to present and discuss three popular narrative research approaches which have been successfully used by the authors in nursing research. Examples of each approach are offered to illustrate potential application in health care contexts. Background: The creation, function and interpretation of narratives are of increasing interest to nurse researchers worldwide. Currently a variety of narrative research approaches are used to explore how people make sense of experience. While this diversity adds to the richness and scope of the methodology, practitioners new to narrative research may struggle in determining which approach best suits their research purposes and contexts. Design: This discussion paper presents the philosophical basis, methodology, strengths and challenges of the following three commonly used narrative approaches: Murray’s Narrative Framework, the Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method and Arts-Based Narrative Methods. Data sources...

Embracing translational HRD research for evidence-based management: let’s talk about how to bridge the research-practice gap
(2015)
Gubbins, Claire; Rousseau, Denise
Abstract:
In recent years, the debate about the purpose of Universities is increasingly visible in public fora. Universities are more frequently asked by government bodies and the public to ‘account for themselves’. Evidence is demanded in answer to such questions as: ‘if public funding is poured into university research, what does the public get for its money?’ (Simons, 2010); how do specific pieces of research inform policy problems? (Lauder, 2014); or what is the value for money and impact of scientific research projects for the economy and society? (Science Foundation Ireland). The benefits of university research are asserted to be wide and influential and include innovation, new knowledge, improved business strategies and productivity and contributions to policy, among others (Khazragui & Hudson, 2015). However, such claims are insufficient without supporting evidence in a time of public debt and pressure to reduce spending (de Campos, 2010; Khazragui & Hudson, 2015). This debate...

Situating requirements engineering methods within design science research
(2016)
Akhigbe, Okhaide; Lessard, Lysanne
Abstract:
Design Science Research Methodologies (DSRM) are increasingly used to guide research in fields beyond Information Systems, in particular those of Requirements Engineering and Software Engineering (RE/SE). While a number of DSR methodologies have been developed by scholars in the RE/SE fields, there remains a certain level of confusion about the way in which the aim and scope of DSRM and those of methods typically used in RE/SE differ. This issue can be observed in graduate students' work as well as in published literature. In particular, the difference be-tween the research orientation of DSRM and the solution orientation of RE/SE methods can be difficult to navigate. We propose to address this challenge by situating three RE/SE methodologies proposed in published literature within one common DSRM; doing so clarifies the scope of these methodologies and highlights ways in which the knowledge contributions of their results could be further enhanced. This effort is a first step t...

The Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 some implications for public health and medical research
(2008)
Sheikh, Asim A.
Abstract:
This discussion document examines some of the legal and practice ramifications of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 for public health and medical research. The paper was commissioned by the Health Research Board (HRB) subsequent to the expression of general concerns in relation to how the Data Protection Acts would apply to public health and medical research. Many have expressed the concern that a zealously over-regulated and bureaucratic regime would hamper medical research for the wrong reasons. These concerns have been expressed by a number of people in various jurisdictions. Running in a parallel to these particular concerns has been the law, which has developed a rich corpus of reasoning aimed at ensuring that individual autonomy is protected from violation except where an overriding ‘public interest’ exception requires it. It is only very recently that this parallel is merging and that the call for recognition, by those involved in research and policy makers, of a ‘public...

DOYLE, LOUISE; BYRNE, GOBNAIT; BRADY, ANNE-MARIE
Abstract:
Mixed methods has become increasingly popular in health related research allowing a broader and deeper understanding of complex human phenomena. This growth in popularity has increased the range of usage and complexity in design approaches producing greater need for understanding of logistical and practical application in this field. This paper aims to provide an overview of mixed methods research and orientate to the critical issues that arise for researchers. It provides an introduction to mixed methods design and the rationale and philosophical underpinnings for this methodological approach. It navigates the reader through some of real world or ?hot topics? within mixed methods including data analysis, integration and quality appraisal criteria.
