Good Afternoon!!! October 6, another hectic day at ISI. Actually since I am in my final year of Masters Degree, I need to write a dissertation/thesis during the last 2 semesters i.e. half during this semester and half during the final semester under the guidance of one of my professors. I am under the research guidance of Prof. I.K. Ravichandra Rao, who is one of the leading scientometrists in India.
Under his guidance I am trying to write a thesis on computing the h-index for all the famous educational institutions in India listed in the Institute for Scientific Information(ISI) Web of Science database by Thomson Reuters. I will be posting the details of the kind of work I will be performing in this regard.
Also, we have one seminar in this semester where all the students in my class have to do some research on a particular topic of interest related to the field of Library and Information Science and present a 45minutes talk in the seminar giving a presentation and that too individually. Ours is a class of 7 students and hence there will be 7 seminars on varied topics related the field of Library & Information Science. The last date to submit the abstract for this seminar is tomorrow October 7 and I have to write a 500 words abstract about my work and I have not even started writing it. Let's see whether I can submit my abstract tomorrow or not !!! On the other hand side, today I had a online discussion session with a personnel working in ISI Thomson Reuters about the manner in which I should access the database to collect data. The person concerned told me about the different kinds of searches which I can perform in the database to collect data. I hope, this discussion will be fruitful in helping me come down to the sort of data set which I need to write my paper.
Apart from this, there's one International Conference on Frontiers of Interface Between Statistics and Sciences coming up in December 2009. I want to send a poster presentation to this conference giving a short description of the work which I will perform for my thesis. The deadline for sending the abstract is 15th of October. Oh God !!! lots of work to do , writing abstract, collecting data,GRE and Toefl studies and the usual class work ...I am just finding no time to relax. I hope the amount of labour I am putting in would show in my work. Bye for today..
