Information seeking behavior of postgraduate students in the university of peshawar, pakistan.

Amjid Khan Follow Asad Khan , University of Peshawar, Pakistan Follow

Date of this Version

Fall 10-6-2020

Purpose: This study investigated the information-seeking behavior (ISB) of the research students in terms of information needs, sources, resources, barriers to information seeking, significance of the libraries towards the quality of research and factors motivating the use of libraries at the University of Peshawar.

Design/Methodology/approach: This study used a quantitative approach, adopting a survey questionnaire method for data collection. The population of this study was composed of the Master, M.Phil. and PhD research students in the faculties of Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences and Management Information Sciences at the University of Peshawar. The sample size was 300 research students selected conveniently. The study response rate was 85% and data were analyzed through SPSS (20 version).

Key findings: The findings revealed that research students sought information to satisfy their information needs related to the identification and selection of the research problem, access to the current information, writing of the research proposal, article and theses. To fulfill their information needs, these researches indicated the use of different sources and resources. Regarding the sources, most of the research students preferred the research-related workshops and taking help from other researchers to fulfill their information needs. Furthermore, research students used the internet and online research databases to satisfy information needs. They also utilized research and information services provided by their libraries to retrieve the needed information. While seeking the needed information, research students have reported different barriers designating poor internet connectivity, ICT facilities and unavailability of study rooms in libraries as the major barriers. Reliable information sources and e-databases were the significant motivating factors for using/visiting library.

Limitations of the study : This study has two major limitations; 1) as the sample was conveniently recruited, thus there is a possibility of sample bias and; 2) likewise this study was undertaken at the University of Peshawar, thus generalization of findings is limited to the study context.

Practical implication(s): the findings might motivate librarians towards the restructuring of information literacy programs to enhance the current ISB of the research students. It may inform the authorities about the barriers faced by the research students in information seeking and thus stimulate them towards the up-gradation of Internet and ICT facilities in the university.

Contribution to the knowledge: This study addressed the gap in the literature on ISB in the context University of Peshawar. It revealed factors that impede and/or augment researchers’ use of libraries. The insights may include the formulation of a stable information literacy program at the University of Peshawar to support research-based learning.

Since creation, God has given man the power and grace to explore his society. He has bestowed on us knowledge to seek more knowledge. Man's unending zeal to know more about his being and all other elements both in existence and none existence has brought about researches. In light of this, this term paper aims at evaluating the model in which an academic research proposal is to be done. It highlighted steps in which a researcher need to take while writing a research proposal. It is concluded that, if a research proposal is well written, then the researcher would not find it difficult to carry out the research.

AN ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH PROPOSALS AND CHALLENGES FACED BY POSTGRADUATE TRAINEES IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AND ALLIED DISCIPLINES DURING FELLOWSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

Article sidebar, main article content.

Objectives: To analyze the research proposals and challenges faced by postgraduate fellowship trainees in internal medicine & allied disciplines when writing a proposal.

Methods: The study was undertaken at the Department of Medicine, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, from October 2013 to December 2014. This qualitative grounded theory approach analyzed proposals of 32 postgraduate students of internal medicine. Later, we triangulated our results with a focus group discussion amongst 10 postgraduate students who had completed their synopses.

Results: The number of attempts needed for correction of different components of synopses was 2-11 times amongst 32 proposals evaluated. The challenges found were related to; research methodology, formulating research questions or hypothesis, setting the background / introduction section, proforma making for data collection, objectives and references writing. About one third of the students found difficulties when writing an appropriate proposal title for their dissertation. From the focus group discussion, a total of six codes emerged after thematic analysis, which were later grouped under four categories. Three themes were deducted from these categories and were related to supervisors, College of Physicians and Surgeons  (CPSP) and students.

Conclusion: Most of the students had issues in preparing synopses, mainly due to lack of supervisor’s and CPSP support. The student-as-researcher needs the support of supervisor, and / or a mentor. Therefore, CPSP needs to consider the organization of more workshops and the creation of research facilitation centers in each hospital to help the students complete their synopses and dissertations.

Sponsored Programs Proposal Deadline and Fiscal Year End Reminders

Please review important upcoming dates and deadlines below, and reach out to your   pre- or post-award officer   with questions.

Summer deadlines   for National Insitutes of Health proposals (June 5, 12, and 16;  July 5, 12, and 16; August 8, etc.) are upon us. Proposal volume is always high this time of year.

If you intend to submit a proposal for an upcoming deadline, please notify Sponsored Programs immediately and submit according to BU’s   Proposal Submission Policy :

• 5 days before deadline:   All administrative components must be finalized
• 3 days before deadline:   Final, complete proposal, including all technical components, must be submitted to Sponsored Programs

For example, to meet the June 5 deadline, Sponsored Programs should receive all finalized administrative components by Wednesday, May 29, and the final, complete proposal by Friday, May 31.

Adherence to this timeframe allows us to conduct a thorough review of your proposal and submit it with enough time to address any system issues on grants.gov in advance of the deadline (e.g., delays in submission confirmation and system-wide crashes due to nationwide volume).   Proposals that are not completed until the day of the sponsor deadline are at risk of not being successfully submitted given high volumes and system pressures. 

We will review and submit proposals submitted according to this guidance before turning to proposals received after these deadlines. While we will make every effort to submit each proposal, we cannot guarantee a successful, on-time submission for proposals that do not adhere to the Proposal Submission Policy.

For all NIH proposals, please use  ASSIST  to develop your application.

Thank you for your assistance and please feel free to reach out to your Sponsored Programs   pre-award officer   to notify them of any planned submissions or if you have any questions.

Award Set-Up

Beginning June 1, in preparation for fiscal year-end, the award maintenance team will be prioritizing reportable transactions until June 30. Reportable transactions include New, Renewals, Continuations, Increments, and Supplements. Non-reportable transactions such as NCEs and Rebudgets will be addressed as time permits but completion in June is not guaranteed.

All transactions will return to a first-in, first-out basis beginning July 1. If you would like to track the status of your award at any time, you can use the   Award Setup Tracker .

While sponsored accounts don’t necessarily fall within the standard BU fiscal date range of July 2023 to June 2024, you should still try to account for the following as we approach the end of the fiscal year:

• Do all salaries and non-salary expenditures look appropriate? Are there charges on your University cost center that should be on sponsored awards?
• Do you have an over expenditure that you need to move to your University cost center?
• Non-student salary adjustment deadline:   Friday, June 14, 5 pm
• Student salary adjustment deadline (May or prior entries):   Friday, May 31, 5 pm
• Student salary adjustment deadline (June entries):   Wednesday, June 12, 5 pm
• Non-salary journal entry deadline:   Friday, July 5, noon

The Sponsored Programs post-award team must either approve or reject all journal entries by   Friday, July 5, at 5 pm . No journal entries can roll over from FY24 to FY25.

Please see the   fiscal year-end webinar   for a complete listing of due dates.
