AUK Office of Research and Grants Hosts Workshop

The Office of Research and Grants (ORG) at the American University of Kuwait (AUK) hosted a workshop titled, Research How-Tos. The workshop was presented by Dr. Dari Alhuwail, associate professor at the Department of Information Science in Kuwait University; and fellow of both the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics, and the American Medical Informatics Association.

The workshop acknowledged major questions related to publication, research conduct, data management, and ethics of research. Dr. Alhuwail defined scientific research and discussed the research process, including how to determine the topic, design, and methodology. 

Dr. Alhuwail emphasized the importance of publishing in authentic journals and disseminating the research in news and social media. He detailed what makes a successful researcher: having unique selling points, making the research distinctive, and increasing collaborations.

Workshops of this nature give the AUK community an opportunity to refine their knowledge from professionals to improve their research skills.
