 | | Module 1 - Research and evaluation of information |
|
| The module can be organized into a theoretical part (3h) and a practical part (5h). The theoretical part includes these points:
· Relevant methods for developing a research strategy;
· Using the tools of information retrieval;
· Evaluation of information obtained from the original question. How to create a bibliography relevant to the subject of research.
The practical part would be for the student is a relevant bibliography on the subject of research by following the steps listed above. |
| | Module 2 - Information management |

| Presentation and use of different tools for reference management information (bibliographic and others). This module could be organized into a theoretical part (3h) and a practical (4 hours). The theoretical part is to present the logic and use of reference management programs (Endnote, Reference Manager,...) and web sites management references (Endnote Web, CiteUlike, ...). The practical part is to develop a database of references from selected references at the end of the module 1. |
| | Module 3 - Presentation of results |
|
| This module includes theory and practice. The theoretical part (2 hours) would be to show the different modes of dissemination of scientific information, the various "standards" to present the results and the bibliography and the various tools. The practical (3 hours) would be defined in a form (can be left to the discretion of the student according to the constraints of a PhD) and following the path followed in the three modules, the search results. |
