Preface
Nowadays research publications, research projects, and teaching learning have
become the most important part of universities, institutions, organizations,
and industries. Day-to-day, a lot of research articles, book chapters, mono-
graphs, and research projects are submitted to the journals, books, and funding
agencies, but most of them are rejected due to lack of basic academic writ-
ing skills, scientific methods. This book, Scientific Methods Used in Research
and Writing, gives the basic staring idea to the researcher or teacher about
the research article writing skills, statistical methods in scientific research,
teaching-learning theories and the development of research projects.
