Description and contextualization of the subject

This course introduces and elaborates a research publication design and production process that is intended to make the business of preparing good quality research publication submissions more explicit, more controllable, more efficient, and thus more effective.

The course is designed to teach what to do (and occasionally what not to do) in all the basic tasks and activities that make up doing research in scientific, engineering, design, and many other fields of research. It aims to teach the foundations of good research research practices.

The main goal is to apply the main concepts of the research methodology.

The students will learn on: the design of a dissemination plan, the development of a paper, the design of resources, the design of a poster, the definition of a Thesis, the main ethical issues in research.



In the event that the sanitary conditions prevent the realization of a teaching activity and / or face-to-face evaluation, a non-face-to-face modality will be activated of which the students will be informed promptly.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

The subject will be evaluated base on a practical work. However, you have to attend classes to take into account the work (at least 75% of attendance is required).
