Hello everyone welcome to my youtube channel so today we are going to give a brief introduction about research methodology and intellectual property rights so we'll discuss before we start the syllabus we will discuss the syllabus first and here this particular subject is there for fifth semester and every fifth semester under vtu it's compulsory and the course code is 21 RM I 56 so research methodology RM and we are having IPR that is intellectual property rights as I 56 this is the sixth subject of your fifth term so we are having internal as 50 and external as 50 it's the same thing what we have done and it has got maybe two credits two credits okay 100 marks exam and three things okay we are having the co1 co2 co3 and co4 c1 is to understand the knowledge on basis of research and its types that means how many what exactly is the meaning of research and why do we have to study research in engineering or engineer why do we need as engineering students why do we have to get exposed to the research in order to uh what do you say to get the best out of the our particular fields or the current trend of how exactly it's going and all other stuff in future how our particular field is going and in what direction it is going In order to understand that we need to have the basic idea about what is research. So CO1 first is to understand the knowledge on basis of the research and its type and then we are having CO2 is nothing but to learn the concepts of the research. Concepts of literature review for example the concepts are there something called a research literature review or review of literature And how do we have to do that because?
Primary Minor projects and I can Third year okay projects and we are having the major project which is your final engineering project in both the projects you need a There is something called literature of review or review of literature. So this review of literature has to happen in order to proceed for your research or projects. In your projects there has to be one chapter called review of literature.
okay so i will tell you why what is what you mean by the re of literature that later okay so that was about a co2 and co3 co3 is to learn the ethics in engineering research so also we need to know that we not only just research and not only what the research can add on to our field but also we should be we should aware about the ethical issues for example the ethics which is involved in the particular conduction of the result whether it is safe for the humanity, whether it is safe for the animals, whether it is safe for the ecosystem, all other things, the ethical issues we need to be to study and in order to get the best practices in order to get wonderful results without all ethical aspects concerned like safety and all other issues safety it can be the safety it can be the non-toxic or it can be any kind of things which is not harmful we are going to conclude that this particular research is not going to harm anyone So that kind of things will be there. Those all things comes under ethical concerns or ethical issues in research. And then we are having the fourth CO that is to discuss the concepts of IPR.
So concepts of IPR when you speak about It's about the intellectual property rights in engineering. So here in this what we can say what it says is that here in this particular subject you will be exposed or you will be going to learn. What are IPR? I mean what exactly IPR stands for that is intellectual property rights and why we need IPR and why the property rights are important.
Why the copyrights are important. All those things we are going to study in this course in this syllabus. Next we are having the teaching learning process.
The general instructions are there which is given here. I don't have to just explain this. These things already you know.
The lecture should be knowing lesser methods use of video to explain all other stuff and all let's jump to the Syllabus that is the introduction so in introduction In this video we will be speaking about the meaning of research. So what is the meaning? What do you mean by research?
As the name itself, today I will give you the brief introduction about your particular syllabus. From tomorrow or the next video onwards we will have the proper session or proper explanation about all these things so meaning of research research stands for research okay there are there is something already is existing but I want to research that means I have prepared something okay now I have to incorporate some properties extra to this So that how it is this particular device is going to function. So whether it is going to function as the same or whether it is improvising. So to do this analysis itself is called as research because we are researching the opportunity opportunities what betterment I can do what best thing I can give. that is itself the whole process is nothing but research and for example iphone 5 there is a big difference between iphone 5s and iphone 13 pro or 14 pro the reason is that because of lot of research okay these most of the things are keep on adding okay lot of the you know things though there are no much difference between 13 and 14 or 14 or 15 But I am giving an example, a set of example where we were when we were having the 16 GB phone, right?
That is iPhone 5S. Maximum used to get for 65 or 100 this thing we used to 64 we used to get more exacted nowadays 128 GB even another 256 GB even 1 TB also we are having Right Python and 1 TB GB we are having these all are possible only because of the research Not just because of some companies they were existing there. That's why they are doing this No, they are having every company is having R&D.
That is the research and development and in that particular research and development We have got this particular team which will be looking for something new to always something new to add on to the particular properties and something to make it better and Beneficient so that's what is research means so it is This this this is exactly an engineering student should understand as a research because the research is required in order to go for Future without research. There is no future and okay for example whatever we are having now for example the classes we are taking by the projectors okay that is also a product of the research or else we have to do only chalk and bold understanding and nowadays you are using everybody is using cell phones right earlier it was only landlines or coin box whenever you wanted to talk you have to go you have to search outside where exactly the coin boxes are there then you have to make a call okay and even though when you are traveling you have to get down you have to take tickets only till there and to get down and then make a call and then get another bus see this all were the challenges what we have faced when we were in childhood nowadays those challenges are not there in terms of them talking about telecommunications so now we can because of the research only we were able to have every person is having in the room is having cell phone now the reason is very simple it's a product of research so without research there is no future if any country has to grow for future it has to invest lot of its resources and money and capital capital everything into research the country will be more grown like the country's development will be more if they are doing research more and you can take an example of many countries including germany including european countries including japan also okay so japan you know that after european and other side how much it suffered yet it stands in top three or top four you know these economic countries the reason is they are strong in research anything that the new technology is coming they are adapting quickly their industries are adapting quickly they are bringing the products so quickly to the market so that the people start using it it so they will get money out of it so they are very quick in converting the research into the product okay so that's how the research works that's the meaning of research then we are objectives of engineering research so what are the objectives of the engineering research that we are going to study okay how exactly this particular I know the what are the goals of the engineering research they can be the ethical issues and it can be the to reduce the global warming or it can be to have the better efficient efficient batteries, better efficient fuel cells or it can be the better, less, sorry, more eco-friendly vehicles or all these things comes under objectives of engineering research where lot of researchers are going on already. And then motivation in engineering, okay, so that is motivation in engineering research is very important because without the motivation nothing is gonna work. So, recently, has to happen in order to have research because research is boring the reason is very simple because it takes a lot of trials you need to have around 100 to 500 types of you know times experiments you have to do then you will get the optimum results then only you are going to get the product That's why it's bit a tedious job and it's bit a kind of lazy, the lazy people will not like the research but if you really get into the research it's a wonderful field because Because research is the only thing which can build future.
Okay. And wonderful things can be done with the research. And types of engineering research that we will also be studying and then finding and solving the, sorry.
worthwhile problem or worldwide problem all those things we will be discussing next ethical issues like ethics in engineering research what ethics need to be maintained what are the values or you know some of the some kind of you know fundamental rules and laws we need to stick on to so that in order to get the particular research being done okay which should not go out of any boundaries or beyond any you know what you say the sentiments of the people or humans or even the what you say you uh it should not be so cruel to the animals also when you are doing research okay there are a lot of preclinical studies and all we'll be doing based on my biomedical and biotechnological aspects and clinical research and preclinical research so all those things need to be taken care and when you are using the humans for testing some new drugs and all for that also we need to take care of the ethical issues all ethical concerned things will be will be discussing then types of research misconduct a lot of times the research will be misconducted that means the the people will misconduct the research how it may be for example you might have heard about this particular corona came because of the something is leaked from some laboratory all rumors you might have heard or maybe you might have heard the china is making a lot of weapons they're making so many things that which is going to end the world that these kind of research i mean all these things are rumors These are all rumors or whatever you have seen. Imagine whether they are real or not. But here in our example, consider it as real and then all those things will come under research misconduct.
then ethical issues related to the authorship for example i write a paper i publish and somebody else will claim that particular thing and he copies from my paper the image he copies and he publishes in his paper then that will be a copyright breach so sorry copyright breach so same thing goes for the ethical issues the ethical issues related to the authorship also has to be maintained if somebody is doing its original work that has to be maintained and preserved by the publishers so that they have to so that that they can be relied on or trusted on and then we are having the module 2 because about module 1 module 2 we are having literature review and technical reading so literature review and technical reading is very important what is the literature review or review of literature is that see imagine i want to build a product a imagine i want to build this product now i have to see whether this product is there in the whole market or not Okay, in research I am talking about, not in commercialization, not in business. Okay, this product, this particular drug or this particular product, whether it is there in the market right now or not, you have to check that. So new and existing knowledge should be there.
Ok, so analysis and synthesis of prior or geographical databases you should understand. So that means I have to go and check in the particular databases where the research has been getting published. For example, maybe web of science, Google.
scholar or just a Google or all these things these are all things databases bibliography you will get all the published data every day there will be hundreds of thousands of papers will be published and all the papers will be monitored or you can say the store in this particular and our publishers so in Google Google Scholar or above science or even having databases you can Go to there, you can scope us or you can just go to them, then you can try, see this particular product, if the product A I want to produce, I have the product A I am writing there. If nothing is coming, if no papers are there in this particular which work on the product A, then your work or the idea is very new. Okay, so imagine if it is not new, okay, so then what you have to do, you have to see whatever the existing things are there, you have to read all those papers, you have to come to a conclusion that these things are not new.
things are there in this particular product but whatever I want to do is something different from whatever already existing things are there so something new is there from my end that the product is saying something new I'm going to add to this particular product and I am going to publish. Then only you can publish. So, this is reviewing.
Okay, you have to see if any publications are there or if any work has been done on this particular field. See comparing all those field, this thing and also see what is your idea. If your idea is something which is new, done already existing data or papers in all these databases, then we can say that your work, you can publish continue that work or else if you continue the work without doing review of literature you will end up developing a product which is already being done by someone in america someone in i mean uk someone in japan or something like that understanding so review of literature is must without a review of literature if you are going to start if you are going to start putting money, your effort and your time, all these things will be waste because review of literature is the only thing which will tell you that this work is new whatever you are thinking is new ok, because whatever the idea I have got, the same idea might have got 2 years earlier and some other person might have got the same idea in some other part of the world So that I cannot go and ask him, right? But he might have published his paper in this particular field or in this particular area where he is doing actually.
So that can be, so that he can say that this particular thing has been done. Okay, once that these web of science, Google, Google scholars and all they are giving, they are keeping the records of all this data. When I go and see this work has been done, it is being done. So I don't have to do that same work. I can add some work.
So there will be. Imagine some particular word I will type. So this particular product related I type.
I get hundreds of papers regarding this. I have to go through all hundred papers. Once I read all hundred papers, I will make sure I will come to know that which work in this particular part is pending or we what the new ideas you will get so that what kind of things changes I should make I can make in order to get a new product or new paper to get published so that is called as review of literature we need to see review the literature which is existing earlier with respect to your idea so that you don't have to waste your time energy and your resources okay And after everything that you will be having the same thing and that cannot be published by these particular top quality journals because they directly reject by saying that your work is already been published. That means this particular work has been published by someone else two years back, three years back.
so in order to avoid this particular thing we need review of literature so how to do that and i will explain in the next class the very next i'll be explaining that i mean in the when i'm taking the class for model 2 i'll explain all those things so next effective research so the better is the review of literature we will find once the literature review is done you will find something is missing there that is called as a research gap if that research gap if you the review is so good that means if you have studied all these particular existing things in your particular field whichever whatever the idea you got will come to know that the person thing is missing so that i can work on that and i can and i can get the research done and then i can publish that paper okay then you can say that you will that will be an effective search or you can go for effective project so next we are in the effective search the way of the forwarder introduction of the technical reading conceptualization research that is technical reading things and criteria and creative reading so that is again same things next taking notes while reading so that has to be there you have to every paper you are writing and reading because there are hundred papers example I'll give on now so in first paper paper one two three four hundred paper you name it as hundred so first paper one paper one how many lines here you can read you can make you can make maximum one paragraph with four five lines we have a whole paper we have to write it in our own words what you understood in this particular whole paper okay for example another example i i want to have i want to synthesize nanoparticles so in particular paper some they have done lot of this 20 pages of the but after reading that i will write the so and so researcher sheriff at all they have done the work of the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the penicillin species okay they have carried out the four different anti They have carried out antimicrobial test and they have tested it for 4 different antibiotics and silver nanoparticles along with erythromycin GAD best result. That is that's it. See these 3 lines or 4 lines you are already wisdom. This is like a taking notes and reading mathematics and algorithms. This in terms of the students who belong to this particular department.
Subjects where the mathematics and algorithms and data sheets are involved Okay, reading data sheets all those things because this subject is common for all so next attributions and citations Attributions and citations are nothing but your citation is nothing but See I publish work a particular work now you as a person you will Do the relief in that imagine my paper is also is one of the paper which you are reviewed and out of 100 papers. Now you review 100 papers. Now you will publish your work and under your reference there will be 100 papers. In that one paper is mine.
So once you publish your paper okay in a repeated journal of science or scopus all those things so i will be getting how many one citation that means somebody has got inspired from my work and they have taken my work into consideration and they have used in either discussing or something else in their research and they have published their research then only i get one citation so that's how the attribution and solution works i will try to just go forward and then these things model wise we can uh explain later so giving credit uh wherever due or citations are there whenever whenever that person is giving credit to me so i get one citation so citations functions and attributes impact of title keywords on citations because all the these keywords and things are very important because if you have whatever the title is there in my this thing so you're searching Particular listing if there any one of the keyword is matching four or five keywords. We have to be for every publications Then my paper will be displayed there Okay, so knowledge of flow through the citation how exactly the things goes next citation databases style of citations There are a lot of subtile of citations are there MSA format is there APA format is there? A lot of formats are there so that is depending on the different those who have created it maybe for example Harvard University they are having their own format Harvard format like that so every everyone will have their own format but most widely used formats are four or five formats which is available in Google Scholar so acknowledgements and attributions then what should be acknowledged what exactly should be acknowledged for example I have done my project okay I got a project 110 around 9 lakhs or something when I do my work you okay based on this particular project I need to acknowledge the funding agency which has been funded so in acknowledgement I will write these are the funders who helped financially to get this research done or maybe those who help for them also you can acknowledge maybe the lab attender which starts from the lab attender to the the director or a dean of the institutes whoever is helping you or if any sister institutes are helping if any different institutes like iits and nits are helping wherever you are going for giving you a sample for research and this thing or if any companies are helping in order to do the all these chip check all those things and all there also you can you can acknowledge them in your reports or in your paper, ok, acknowledgements in books, dissertations, dedication to the acknowledgement, all those things will be there. So next we are having the module 3. Module 3 is about the introduction to the IPR, that is about the copyrights, how exactly copyrights happened in India, how Excel is regurginated, what are the laws, all those things we will be discussing. patent patent is a different from the publication publication is papers and books and all we can publish whereas patent also can be published but patent is not something which you only own okay no one else can own it okay that is called as patent for example the straw that we drink okay it was straight earlier right so now somebody gave that spring nature and he patented it so if somebody wants to use any company wants to manufacture that he has to take a permission from disney so he can charge for them That is the beauty of patent.
Next we are going to process of patent how exactly we are going to choose child you know how you want to apply what application process will be there all those things we'll be discussing next copyrights and related things copyrights things you already know most of the people are exposed to this social media and nowadays the copyright is very important okay if you are creating any content for your youtube you cannot copy from others so copyright is the publisher will have copyright you will be having copyrights more or better can use your original content if they use they will be in trouble you can take action against them. Trademarks are something if you want to bring some new product to the company or to the market you will have to register it. Once you register you can build the trade, I mean you can have a trademark.
For example, there are a lot of companies are there which example the you know like for example Bisleri whatever we drink water that is also a trademark. Understanding? So those kind of applications are there.
that has to be registered in India. Next, module 5, here we will be discussing about industrial designs, how the industrial designing takes place, eligibility criteria, how the laws and these acts are involved in the government. industrial designs and how exactly industrial design should be, the plant should be, all those things will come into picture.
Geographical indications also plays a very important act, maybe laws and rules pertaining to the geographical indications. ownership of the GI rights which is granted to the holders, registered GI in India, identification of registered GI, all those things we can discuss next tool till now, till GI ecosystem in India. Next case studies on patents also we can discuss where we can have the turmeric patent, neem patent.
okay or basmati patent and ip organizations in india schemes and all the programs also we can discuss in module 5 so that's how it is and that's our syllabus and assessment details we are having both internal and external and continuous internal evaluation you are getting the 20 marks and then 10 marks and followed by 50 marks all those things you already know this so these are the textbooks you can refer okay i'll be referring the same textbooks for your what you say this particular subject and I will be preparing PPTs and explaining you some of the things I will not prepare PPTs I'll just go to the Google Scholar and I will explain how things works okay so that's it if you have any doubts you can get back to me
