Six important skills to become a succesful researcher | The Data Mining …

December 30, 2022 | Author: admin

Today, I will discuss how to become a good researcher and what are the most important skills that a researcher should have. This blog post is aimed at young Master degree students and Ph.D students, to provide some useful advice to them.

1) Being humble and open to criticism

An important skill to be a good researcher is to be humble and to be able to listen to others. Even when a researcher works very hard and think that his/her project is perfect, there are always some flaws or some possibilities for improvement.

A humble researcher will listen to the feedback and opinions of other researchers on their work, whether this feedback is positive or negative, and will think about how to use this feedback to improve their work. A researcher that works alone can do an excellent work. But by discussing research with others, it is possible to get some new ideas. Also, when a researcher present his/her work to others, it is possible to better understand how people will view your work. For example, it is possible that other people will misunderstand your work because something is unclear. Thus, the researcher may need to make adjustments to his research project.

2) Building a social network

A second important thing to work on for young researchers is to try to build a social network. If a researcher has opportunities to attend international conferences, s/he should try to meet other students/professors to establish contact with other researchers. Other ways of establishing contact with other researchers are to send e-mails to ask questions or discuss research, or it could also be at a regional or national level by attending seminars at other universities.

Building a social network is very important as it can create many opportunities for collaborations. Besides, it can be useful to obtain a Ph.D position at another university (or abroad), a post-doctoral research position or even a lecturer position or professor position in the future, or to obtain some other benefits such as being invited to give a talk at another university or being part of the program committee of conferences andworkshops.A young researcher has to oftenwork by herself/himself. But he should also try to connect with other researchers.

For example, during my Ph.D. in Canada, I established contact with some researchers in Taiwan, and I then applied there for doing my postdoc. Then, I used some other contacts recently to find a professor position in China, where I then applied and got the job. Also, I have done many collaborations with other researchers that I have met at conferences.

3) Working hard, working smart

To become a good researcher, another important skill is to spend enough time on your project. In other words, a successful researcher will work hard. For example, it is quite common that good researchers will work more than 10 hours a day. But of course, it is not just about working hard, but also about working smart, that is a researcher should spend each minute of his time to do something useful that will make him/her advance toward his goals. Thus, working hard should be done also with a good planning.

When I was a MSc and Ph.D. student, I could easily work more than 12 hours a day. Sometimes, I would only take a few days off during the whole year. Currently, I still work very hard every day but I have to take a little it more time off due to having a family. However, I have gained in efficiency. Thus, even by working a bit less, I can be much more productive than I was a few years ago.

4) Having clear goals / being organized / having a good research plan

A researcher should also have clear goals. For a Ph.D or MSc student, this includes having a general goal of completing the thesis, but also some subgoals or milestones to attain hismain goal. One should also try to set dates for achieving these goals. In particular, a student should also think about planning their work in terms of deadlines for conferences. It is not always easy to plan well. But it is a skill that one should try to develop. Finally, one should also choose his research topic(s) well to work on meaningful topics that will lead tomaking a good research contribution.

5) Stepping out of thecomfort zone

A young researcher should not be afraid to step out of his comfort zone. This includes trying to meet other researchers, trying to establish collaborations with other researchers, trying to learn new ideas or explore new and difficult topics, and also to study abroad.

For example, after finishing my Ph.D. in Canada, which was mostly related to e-learning, I decided to work on the design of fundamental data mining algorithms for my post-doctoral studies and to do this in Taiwan in a data mining lab. This was a major change both in terms of research area but also in terms of country. This has helped me to build some new connections and alsoto work in amore popular research area, to have more chance ofobtaining a professor position, thereafter. This was risky, but I successfully made the transition.Then, after my postdocI got a professorjob in Canada in auniversity far away from my hometown. This was a compromise that I had to make to be able to get a professor position since there are very few professor positions available in Canada (maybe only 5 that I could apply for every year). Then, after working as a professor for 4 years in Canada, I decided to take another major step out of my comfort zone by selling my house and acceptinga professor job at a top 9 university in China. This last move was very risky as I quit mygood job in Canada where I was going to become permanent. Moreover, I did that before I actually signed the papers for my job in China. And also from a financial perspective Ilost more than 20,000 $ by selling my house quickly to move out. However, the move to Chinahas paid off, as in the next months, I got selectedby a nationalprogram for young talents in China. Thus, I now receiveabout 10 times the funding that I had in Canada for my research, and my salary is more than twice my salary as a professor in Canada, thus covering all the money that I had lost by selling my house. Besides, I have been promoted to full professor and will lead a research center. This is an example of how one can create opportunities in his career by taking risks.

6) Having good writing skills

A young researcher should also try to improve his writing skills. This is very important for all researchers, because a researcher will have to write many publications during his career. Every minute that one spends on improving writing skills will pay off sooner or later.

In terms of writing skills, there are two types of skills.

These skills are acquired by writing and reading papers, and spending the time to improve yourself when writing (for example by reading the grammar rules when unsure about grammar).

Personally, I am not a native English speaker. I have thus worked hard during my graduate studies to improve my English writing skills.

Conclusion

In this brief blog post, I gave some general advice about important skills for becoming a successfulresearcher. I you think that I have forgotten something, please post it as a comment below.

How to buy and sell shares – Moneysmart.gov.au

December 30, 2022 | Author: admin

The most common way to buy and sell shares is by using an online broking service or a full service broker.

When shares are first put on the market, you can buy them via a prospectus. You can also buy through an employee share scheme, or invest indirectly through a managed fund.

Buying shares (stocks, securities or equities) makes you a part-owner of a company. As a shareholder, you can get dividends and other benefits.

You can own shares yourself, or pool your money with others through a managed fund (a collective investment).

If you're new to shares, visit the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) education centre for information and online seminars.

You can choose to use an online broking service or a full service broker.

Use the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) find a stockbroker tool to locate a broker that suits your needs.

Initial public offerings (IPO)toggle accordian row

Companies may offer new shares to the market as a way of raising capital. This is called a 'float' or an 'initial public offering' (IPO).

To decide whether to invest in an IPO, read the prospectus. A prospectus contains details about the company and the float. It tells you:

A prospectus must be lodged with ASIC. To check this, see ASIC's OFFERlist database.

Things to look for in a prospectus:

If there's anything in the prospectus you don't understand or are unsure about, talk to a broker or financial adviser before you invest.

Crowd-sourced funding (CSF) enables start-ups and small to medium-sized companies to raise public money to finance their business. This is also known as 'equity crowd funding' or 'crowd-sourced funding of shares'.

Crowd-sourced funding of shares is not the same as:

Employee share schemestoggle accordian row

You may get shares, or the opportunity to buy shares, via an employee share scheme at your workplace. You could get a discount on the market price, and may not have to pay a brokerage fee. Check if there are restrictions on when you can buy, sell or access the shares.

Managed fundtoggle accordian row

When you invest in a managed fund, you buy fund 'units' and pool your money with other investors. A professional fund manager buys a range of shares and other assets on your behalf, diversifying and reducing risk.

This is a convenient way to buy shares, as someone else makes the buy and sell decisions. Depending on the type of fund you choose, fees may be higher than on other indirect investments.

Exchange traded fund (ETF)toggle accordian row

An exchange traded fund (ETF) invests in a group of shares that make up an index, such as the S&P/ASX 200. An ETF allows you to diversify your portfolio without having a lot of money to invest.

You can buy or sell ETFs just like any other share. ETFs generally have lower ongoing fees than managed funds. But if you want to invest small amounts regularly, youll pay a broking fee on each contribution.

Listed investment company (LIC)toggle accordian row

A listed investment company (LIC) uses money from investors to invest in a range of companies and other assets. It pays dividends from earnings.

LICs generally have lower ongoing fees than managed funds. They may not suit you if you want to invest small amounts regularly, as you pay a broking fee on each contribution.

CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI)toggle accordian row

A CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI) allows shares of a foreign company to be traded on Australian markets, such as the ASX.

When you buy a CDI, you get the financial benefit of investing in a foreign company. But the product title is held by a depositary nominee company on your behalf. Generally, you get the same benefits as other shareholders, such as dividends or participation in share offers. Usually, you cannot vote at company meetings, but can direct the depositary nominee to vote on your behalf.

To find out more, see the ASX publication Understanding CHESS Depositary Interests.

Limit ordertoggle accordian row

Used when you want to buy or sell your shares at a specific price, or better. If buying, you set the maximum price youre willing to pay. If selling, you set the minimum price youre willing to accept. A limit order may not execute. It can be placed for the day, or left open until cancelled or expired.

Market ordertoggle accordian row

Used when you want to accept market price for a share at the time you place the order. If buying, you pay the highest asking price. If selling, you accept the highest bid. A market order is more likely to execute. But you effectively pay a transaction cost when you cross the bid-ask spread.

Good til cancelled (GTC) ordertoggle accordian row

Stays open in the market until cancelled, giving you the benefit of order queue priority. The risk is it could expose you to significant price swings, for example due to overnight international news and market moves. So you could experience a loss. The risk is higher during times of greater market volatility, such as COVID-19.

Good til expiry (GTE) ordertoggle accordian row

Stays open in the market until the expiry date, giving you the benefit of order queue priority. Expiry can be a date you nominate, or your brokers default, commonly set at 20 trading days. The risk is it could expose you to significant price swings, for example due to overnight international news and market moves. So you could experience a loss. The risk is higher during times of greater market volatility, such as COVID-19.

Good for day (GFD) ordertoggle accordian row

Stays open in the market for one trading day. The unexecuted portion of the order, if any, is cancelled at end of day. If all or part of your order doesnt execute, you can put it back on the market next trading day. This means your order will avoid exposure to overnight price swings and unexpected loss. But your order will get a new place in the queue, according to price-time priority.

How to sell your sharestoggle accordian row

If you hold shares directly, you can sell them by placing a trade online or contacting your broker. You pay a fee each time you make a trade.

You exchange the legal title of ownership when you sell shares. Settlement for the sale and transfer of ownership happens two business days after the trade (known as T+2). After settlement, the sale proceeds are transferred into your bank account.

If you hold shares indirectly through a managed fund, you can sell them by selling your units in the managed fund. Before you do this, check if there are any withdrawal costs. Keep a copy of the trade confirmation or receipt for tax purposes.

Market volatility and trading haltstoggle accordian row

Be aware that, during times of higher market volatility like COVID-19, share prices may change dramatically. Its very hard to time the market, so stop and think before you trade. If you buy or sell too frequently, youll pay more in transaction costs which may not be worth it.

Sometimes a trading halt is placed on shares. For example, to allow the market to digest new information about a company. In this context, prices could fall and volatility may increase. You may not be able to sell your shares when you want, or at a price you like.

When looking at share performance, look beyond recent events. Markets typically recover over the longer-term.

Share buy-backstoggle accordian row

A company you own shares in may offer to buy back some of its shares. If you receive a buy-back offer, you can choose to accept or decline it. Before you decide, consider:

Unexpected offers to buy your sharestoggle accordian row

You may receive an unexpected letter from someone offering to buy your shares. Before you accept it, check:

It is not illegal to make an unsolicited offer to buy your shares. It is against the law to mislead shareholders into making or accepting an offer. If you get an unexpected offer you believe is misleading, visit the ASIC website or call 1300 300 630 to report it.

So it becomes highly essential to choose suitable yet best cloud services for small businesses as well as large companies.

In todays post, we will be highlighting some of the best cloud computing solutions for small businesses. Along with it, we will also explain the basic concept of cloud services and why small businesses should utilize & implement cloud services for their data backup system effectively.

So lets get on with the details.

Back in the day, we used to store all our important files and data on hard drives. It was when no cloud services or smartphones were available. We used to do all that with the help of a USB port. But today with the availability of cloud services everywhere, we get to choose from a wide range of options for the storage of databases, files, records, and servers.

Now we can safely protect all of that without needing to store them in our personal storage drives. The services are also cost-effective and provide its user with a number of essential features that we dont really get when we manually store them ourselves.

On top of that, one can get complete accessibility of their files, records, sharing of data, and more from anywhere they want. This makes the collaboration process in real-time among team members easier than ever. As the whole team can work on the same files at the very same time without facing any issues.

So in simple words, Cloud service is one kind of digital service that allows users to have dedicated fixed storage to store data for any type of business small or big in a safe secured place. It lets users access client data that it store in their remote server space.

The maintenance and ownership of this cloud storage are with the cloud hosting company whereas the user simply owns the space that they bought to store their data in it. There will be no limit to a users accessibility to their stored client data providing secured access designated for them by the cloud service providers. The data however could be in multiple or many servers that are in the data center of the cloud hosting company.

There are different types of cloud services for small business that include:

The best cloud services for small businesses can manage a number of essential company-related tasks that include file storage as well as web hosting.

Nowadays the service and benefits of cloud solutions are not limited to large enterprises only. On a more adverse term, the technology of the cloud is equally suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. Cloud services boost productivity saving time and money for businesses. It even improves team collaboration creating scope for promoting innovative ideas. As your business grows you are able to scale up your

Apart from the above benefits, reliable Cloud service ensures small businesses cut down on the staffs workload when they dont need to employ employees to update & install applications, manage emails & file servers or run & maintain backups anymore. You will be able to save hardware space as there will be no need for software updates on your network server.

More essentially, you no longer need to store any file, backup data, and software installations file that fills up the space of your personal computer and server. Above all, as the online cloud storage providers regularly update their applications, therefore it saves time as you dont have to update them yourself anymore. The cloud service providers that are listed to discuss below are already very popular names in the ever so crowded realm of cloud storage solutions list.

Once you have signed up for the Microsoft Azure cloud service platform you get to run virtual desktops & applications with its storage and backup system based in the cloud.

Note: Although most of the cloud services from Google were free all these years, from coming June 1, 2021, Google has announced that its users will no longer be able to enjoy its free Google photos storage service and will only be able to use their dedicated 15 GB of free storage to save their photos and videos.

If anyone feels the need to extend its storage for its cloud service then they will have to opt-in for the Google drive premium plan.

Another really popular cloud storage service that can be used to store and share data and files in the cloud at ease. Dropbox application can be termed as an ideal platform for managing, retrieving, and storing your files that can be accessed from anywhere. It has a unique option of being able to share files even with non-Dropbox users. Once you get signed up with a Dropbox account, you automatically get free storage of 2 GB. It is easy to use, as you can simply connect yourself to the internet and you are all set to access this tool.

The cloud service provider is also said to be an ideal platform for storing and backing up all your essential information. This means if for any mishaps, you lose your data on your computer, you will easily be able to get back everything as it was before. The tools ensure complete security of your data as it encrypts your files when they are moving to and from the cloud storage.

Working from your mobile or tablet is easier than ever, as you get to access files and work on them anytime you want. Even if you dont have an internet connection, its user can also access the files or folders that you have marked to automatically sync offline.

Collaboration with team members is also easier than ever, as the collaborators with a Dropbox account can work simultaneously on shared files. Backing up your files is also hassle-free, as the user can simply drag & drop the file or folder that they want to backup to the Dropbox folder on your desktop.

Also retrieving your accidentally deleted files can be difficult in many cloud services but not in the case of Dropbox, as you can get lost files back with a single click.

For people who work on multiple systems every day and want to back up everything in one place, SpiderOak can be really helpful as it allows backup from unlimited machines. It is quite well-known for its high-end military-grade security. The user can rest assured about their data being safe due to its strong encryption and zero-knowledge policy. As the data is saved in their in-house server and not in any third-party server, therefore, not even the company has access to the user data. It also provides access to these servers only to a limited number of authorized operators.

All the data and files on SpiderOak are backed up through desktop apps. A user can either use their free storage or 2 GB or opt for any of its cost-effective paid plans. The solution comes with two-level of backup, basic level & advanced level. And a user looking for more control over how their data and files are backed up should go for advanced level backup in it.

Another exciting feature that this innovative cloud service provider offers is its de-duplication option. This means the system will automatically detect any duplicate file on your desktop in advance, and it will not back it up again while it locally syncs it with the system, refraining it from creating the duplicate file again.

Its highest selling point was always the security and privacy that it provides to its users protecting their sensitive information. Although one of its negative points can be termed for it only having a desktop app and not any web app. Although its mobile app is available for use on Android & iOS.

Apart from these popular & reliable cloud services for small businesses, there are also web cloud-based project management solutions, like Trello, Asana, etc. that enable the user to manage a project among teams in a more flexible, visual & organized way. And in case you are looking for a solid yet self-hosted project management tool that is incredibly useful, versatile, and super easy to use then WP Project Manager is the solution for you.

Just like the immense advantages of employing the service of the cloud for small businesses, there are also a number of drawbacks and limitations to it too. So it is always better you address all those setbacks and assess the suitability of all those cloud services carefully along with understanding your company requirements before you actually decide to get any of the cloud services that we mentioned above.

Each cloud service provider is entitled to provide different features and functionalities. Some will be cheaper in price with optimum features, whereas others will be rich in features & user-friendliness. So you got to know and assess beforehand what you want from your cloud service provider for your small business. And based on that you should pick the best cloud services for your small business.
