Research is an integral part of Teacher’s life. In this technology era,
we can use social media, various softwares and online tools effectively in
order to increase our academic visibility across the globe. We can collaborate,
share and enrich ourselves in a systematic way.
The session began with imploring God’s blessings by way of our College
Anthem. Dr. Kevin Noronha gave a brief insight about St. Francis Institute of
Technology. Ms. Chinmayee Bhange introduced the speaker to all the

Dr. Sawant effectively demonstrated the correct and uniform use of one’s
initials or name on all academic social platforms such as Research Gate, ORCID,
Google Scholar. She correctly elaborated on the importance of citation and
citation styles for all engineering faculties. She explained the difference
between Self Citation and Plagiarism.
