My Memory and My Pen: On Preparing and Writing Scientific Research

About this book

In the darkness of bewilderment wrapping researchers behind university walls, when blank papers become an ocean swallowing ink and ideas, this book is born to blaze an uncharted path. It is not merely a dry guide dictating strict rules but an inspiring human and scientific journey, sprung from the womb of suffering and living experience to sketch the features of the research pyramid from its base to the peak of its academic defense. Between the obscurity wrapping the choice of a title and the nightmare of anxiety haunting the researcher even at their bedside, and the inspiration bursting from a passing idea on which a lifetime thesis is built, this work progresses to take your hand step by step. The author brings the experience of forty training courses and a rich judicial and academic career to melt into a context touching every student's heart. It is a living attempt to take the researcher out of the molds of memorization, indoctrination, and traditional copying, into the expanse of active intellectual faculty, the ability to create, and taming sources and references however hard they are to obtain. You will discover in this book the secrets of what lies between the lines: how to phrase a title that fronts your work, how to tame your methodology to become an unerring compass, and how to build a balanced, fruitful relationship with your academic supervisor to bring your research to safety without floundering or exhaustion. It is the pulse of a pen carrying memory, and a flower of life offered to be a guide for all who knock on the doors of knowledge and lovers of sound research.
