Training course of “Reading skill and searching information in scientific research for researchers”

The training course of “Reading skill and searching information in scientific research for researchers” was held on by the Center for Vietnam Science and Technology Internationalization promotion on May 22^nd and 23^rd 2018.

For scientific research, reading is one of the most important skills for researchers to perceive knowledge. Results of research are somehow influenced by this skill. However, it seems like there are not detailed instruction of how to search and correctly select necessary information for the research. The Internet helps people to find out what they want without verify origin and reliability. For those reasons, the training course of “Reading skill and searching information in scientific research for researchers” was designed to bring out reading and searching skills for participants.
