Every faculty/researcher is asked by the concerned institution/organization to submit a self-appraisal report of a given year. We are now almost at the end of 2019. So I am satisfied with my ‘progress in research’ for the year 2019? If yes, reason(s); if no, reason(s).
No, I am not satisfied.
Research needs an empty- timed teacher who can devote his days to reading, writing and publishing. When you are a teacher in your first years who teaches and a researcher, most of the time will go to the preparation of courses. Even the days when you do not teach, you will have to correct assignments or write summaries of your lectures or courses. Wishing you a great year ahead. Happy New Year.
Some criteria that can be used to assess research productivity along a year are:
Number of publications
Quality of publications (citations, indexed conferences, indexed journals)
Regularity (periodicity)
Diversity in research domains (trends, progress)
Collaborations with other researchers, other academic institutions, other countries (projects, books, training, teaching)
Leila Zemmouchi-Ghomari, Many thanks for suggesting some import criteria for self assessment. Wish you Happy New Year.
In fact, I am satisfied, to a certain limit. I believe that administrative jobs should not hinder conducting researches. Time management is the most important element in this issue.
Mahfuz Judeh, yes you are right. Time management is crucial in this matter. Thanks for your reply.
Hussien Al-Deeky Thanks for the response. Pleased to know that you are satisfied with your research progress in 2019. Best of luck for 2020.
Yes I am partially but not completely satisfied. Many clinical, academic, and administrative duties have limited the time I would like to spend doing research.
Alejandro Rodriguez-Garcia Many thanks for your reply. Similar replies have been given by some scholars to this question. So do you mean that extra administrative responsibilities considerably lower down your research outputs? Mahfuz Judah in his reply to this question is of the opinion that “administrative jobs should not hinder conducting researches”. Your comment(s).
Yes, I am satisfied, however, I should mange my time to produce more.
Many thanks for your reply. Yes, time management is so crucial.
Deepak Kumar Behera ... all we need ..... the improvement continuously....
True. However, continuous improvement can be measured only by some periodic assessments. Therefore, the question has been raised for all of us to do a stocktaking.
Hanaa Salih Abd Ali Alrammah, Happy to know that you are satisfied with your research progress for the year 2019.
Thanks for question! I am not,2019 was so busy I could not progress according my work potential.
