<br>The Library and Information Service will be presenting its fifth Library Research Week this year from 31 July to 4 August. The aim of the event is to let experts in the field explain to emerging Stellenbosch University researchers and students the fundamentals of conceptualizing their research, collecting and analysing their data, and the value of sharing their research.<br></p><h2>PROGRAMME</h2><p></p><h2></h2><table class="ms-rteTable-2" height="169" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;"><tbody><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:40%;height:11px;">Monday 31 July:</td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" colspan="1" style="width:60%;height:11px;">

<span lang="EN-GB"></span><span><span><span lang="EN-GB">Traditionally a doctoral degree is distinguished from a masters degree by the requirement that the candidate ‘must make a new/original contribution to knowledge’ in a doctoral study. But what does this mean? And is it still a feasible requirement in our day and age? In this presentation the concept of ‘doctorateness’ will be explained: what are the different components making up a doctoral study and what are the important requirements for achieving a convincing synergy between these components. Many doctoral students experience an ‘imposter syndrome’ thinking, “Am I really going to succeed with this?” or, “When are they going ‘to find me out’ and expose my lack of knowledge?” To achieve ‘doctorateness’ is a threshold to be crossed during the course of the doctoral studies.</span></span></span><br>Presenter:

This is particularly important when you are in the process of writing up the analysis of your research.<br>In this session, we will highlight the features of Turnitin that are often used by lecturers and supervisors. More importantly, this session will be used to demonstrate how the originality report could be used to encourage synthesis of information, and with that, the process of finding your own voice in the way you present the analysis of your data.</span><br>Guest speaker: Lianne Keiller<br></span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-1"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-1" style="width:20%;"><strong>Date</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-1" style="width:80%;"><span><span>Thursday 3 August</span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-1"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-1" style="width:20%;"><strong>Time</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-1" style="width:80%;"><span><span>12:30-13:00</span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-1"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-1" style="width:20%;"><strong>Venue</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-1" style="width:80%;"><span><span>E-classroom, Learning Commons, JS Gericke Library<br></span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-1"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-1" style="width:20%;"><strong>Bookings</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-1" style="width:80%;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span lang="EN-GB"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://sun.ac.za.libcal.com/event.php?id=1208084" target="_blank"><img src="/SiteCollectionImages/general/Book%20online.png" alt="" style="margin:0px;width:98px;" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-1"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-1" style="width:20%;"><strong>Presentation</strong></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-1" style="width:80%;">View Lianne Keiller's
