Techniques for Personal Research

The entry point for "Techniques of Personal Research" was chosen to be the "Dissertation Writing"'s "General Introduction". To familiarise oneself with the concepts, one can also start from "quantitative/qualitative" as methodologies [https://proofed.com/writing-tips/the-four-types-of-research-paradigms-a-comprehensive-guide/], or from the steps in research process [https://www.scribbr.com/category/research-process/]

This mind map was created using FreeMind [https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/], which depends on Java Runtime Environment [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html] . For richer styling options, some basic HTML and CSS knowledge may be helpful. This seems to be a bug in the application, but the current project [Dissertation.mm + Dissertation_28....81.jpg] should be put in the "documents" folder. It's also possible to work on each branch of the map on a separate file, then optionally merge them in a single file. It's preferable Export final projects to png images.

All the concepts were drawn from Dr. Wafa ZEKRI and Dr. Hafida HAMZAOUI's lectures, provided documents, and explanations, I also included some pieces of information from the following two books:
