The document discusses the importance of domain knowledge in research and provides an outline of resources available on a web-based knowledge portal aimed at scholars and practitioners. It covers the critical steps in designing research, including establishing ontological and epistemological foundations, conducting literature reviews, and choosing appropriate methodologies. Additionally, it emphasizes the collaborative role of researchers and supervisors and offers various formats and guidelines for research proposals and assessments.

- 2. In a knowledge-based economic era, possession of proper domain knowledge can empower one to take informed decisions. Through our web-based knowledge portal, we offer free resources to scholars and practitioners across the globe. We also encourage researchers to share their research ideas here for showcasing before the community at large.
- 3. Designing a research starts with ontological, followed by epistemological foundations. While boiling down that foundation into operational level, research problems and hypothesis emerge. In our portal, we have given an example of making a proper research design for any kind of study, as research design is a universal method to be followed across all domains.
- 4. Building a theoretical foundation for any research work comprises majorly reviewing the existing body of knowledge on that particular area of research. It is required in order to placing researcher's contribution. In our portal, we have shared materials regarding ways to make a proper critical review of existing literature. We have shown stepwise methods to be followed while reviewing a particular study.
- 5. While writing the theoretical foundation for any research work, researchers require to provide the reference of existing literature, in order to place their contribution. In our portal, we have provided with the detailed format for presenting a literature review, which contains all the details of any particular study, so that readers can get an overview of the study at a single glance.
- 6. Subsequent to epistemological foundation, choosing a proper methodology is required in order to proper operationalization of the constructs of the study. Else, the study loses its relevance totally. In our portal, we have shared some basic ideas about choosing a methodology, checking for its appropriateness, aligning data with methodology, and analysis of results.
- 7. Carrying out any research work devoid of any quantitative analysis reduces the practicability of the study. Problems are faced while selecting proper methodology for data analysis. In our portal, we have shared materials for analyzing any quantitative data, methodologies to be followed, and the conditions to be followed for the application of that methodology.
- 8. Before going for the detailed study, all the researchers require to provide a brief summary of their intended research work before the supervisor(s). In our portal, we have provided with an example of research proposal format, which contains all the details of the intended study, so that supervisor(s) can understand the entire framework of study and give their comments on the same.
- 9. To come up with a good piece of research work is not only the duty of the researcher, but also of the supervisor as well. Based on their assessment only a researcher can improve the work. In our portal, we have provided with an example of research assessment format for supervisors, which contains a vivid range of minute details to observe in any research.
- 10. If experience of any conducted research based study cannot be employed for the benefit of the society or corporate at large, then the true value of a researcher remains unknown. In our portal, we have shared materials regarding demonstrating a pathway for the researchers en route for providing consultancy services, related to their areas of research.
