Lecture 6 Literature survey:
What is Literature survey and how is it different from just searching for information on the internet? Why do we do literature survey, and what are sources of literature? What are primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of literature? Understanding impact factors, citation index, and h-index. How to collect and store it in a manner that we can use to write up a document? These important aspects are presented in this lecture.

Lecture 7 Literature survey using webofscience:
Why use webofscience and how to use webofscience. How to look at the results from a search conducted using webfoscience, so that we can utilize the search results in an effective manner. These are demonstrated directly by carrying out a search on webofscience, with the results being exported to endnote. Use of a related open source software JabRef is also discussed. Several screenshots are shown to illustrate what you will likely experience when you use these tools. You will also see the manner in which you can use these resources, so that the results obtained can be used as references by you in a document you may be writing.
Lecture 8 Literature survey using Scopus:
Lecture 8 Literature survey using Scopus:
The use of Scopus to carry out literature survey is demonstrated. The purpose is to see how to save the results of the search on to our desktop so that we may write an article and populate the bibliographic fields in the article or thesis, without having to type out the references manually.
Lecture 9 Summary of literature survey using online resources:
Lecture 9 Summary of literature survey using online resources:
The process of collecting and organizing references from online resources, and using and citing these references in articles and thesis, is summarized in this lecture. The importance and convenience of using a reference managing software is discussed. A brief demonstration of the use of BibTeX and LaTeX, as well as Microsoft Word for organizing bibliography in your documents, is
shown.
Lecture 10 Use of BibTeX and LaTeX:
A brief demonstration of the use of BibTeX and LaTeX, for organizing bibliography in your documents, is shown.

Lecture 12 Use of Microsoft Word with Endnote for organizing bibliography:
A brief demonstration on how to use Endnote entries to add reference data to a Microsoft Word document, is shown.
Lecture 13 Experimental Skills:
What is the relationship between theory and experiments? How do you run experiments correctly? What are experimental quantities that we often measure or control and what are likely sources of error while dealing with these
quantities. We look at these and try to understand how to be alert to potential errors in experiments and how to cross check or compensate for or correct these errors. Doing your experiments carefully will enable you to be confident of your results.
