Research Paper Topics & Ideas Welcome to Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology.

In this li sting, we intend to describe research methodologies to help write a quality rese arch article and assist in finding a research topic. As we all know that "Research" is the process of collecting information and data about a topic being studied. It is a systematic process of inquiry in order to discover, interpret or revise facts, events, behaviors, or theories, or to make practical applications with the help of such facts. It is a continues process a nd doest not mean that it always is successful. In the past, one has bear witnes s to some heavily funded projects going down the drain and achieving so less aft er so much promise. Choosing an interesting and worthy research topic is always a time consuming pr ocess for a research group. Choosing a topic, searching relevant material and c iting sources is always challenging and sometimes painful. We cannot neglect the importance of search engines in this regard. Search Engines like Google and MSN will always be your true friends. Also we advise you to Read current newspapers and magazines related to information technology. Just going blindly for a research topic without proper homework means nothing bu t wastage of time. So post your queries about your intended research field in te chnology related Forums and Webs. Also search for your topic in websites like "R esearch Topics" , Ideas for Term Papers, and Reports. Always choose a topic that can be treated persuasively, is related to your domai n of expertise, you have enough knowledge and resource for this and can be deve loped adequately within the timeframe. If you are using some one else's idea, always refer it. Plagiarism does not mean that you cannot quote or pass one's words. It is actually a careless or intenti onal effort to take credit of someone's work.
