  • Research

    When I got to the PhD level, I completed my first research courses – such as Research Methods and Qualitative Research. I also read a ton of published (research) papers – papers that provided answers to specific questions as well as papers that provided new knowledge to the field. It gave me a new appreciation… Continue reading

  • My current research situation

    From time to time, I check my preprints for comments such as suggested changes or suggested new papers. I am very happy that some reviewers recommended the papers for others to read (and maybe for publishing). I am making a name for myself in research! Just for your information, my preprints were submitted to journals… Continue reading

  • Research

    Just recently, I got to thinking about research and my research career. I like that I am into research – I prepare research papers, I conduct business research, and so on. I like that staying objective and impartial is easy for me especially since I don’t have a lot of “connections.” It is not much… Continue reading

  • Crowdfunding for research

     I was not aware that researchers are turning to crowdfunding to fund their research. (This article provided the information that researchers are gathering donations from the general public to fund their research: https://www.nature.com/nature-index/news/how-to-crowdfund-your-research-science-experiment-grant). It is a great idea, but I know some people “look down” on those who ask friends and the general public for funds… Continue reading

  • LinkedIn Poll

    Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I used the poll feature in LinkedIn to pose a question for users/individuals all over the world some minutes ago. It is amazing what you can do with a computer and an internet connection. I hope I get a lot of responses. I consider it preliminary work for research. Continue reading

  • Why I stopped updating my food blog

     I stopped updating my food blog about 5 years ago. The main purpose of the blog was to track my food intake for weight loss. I enjoyed updating the blog, but found that I was including information about my PhD assignments, food background, and so on. I started a project to combine the information, including… Continue reading

  • Pain research

    My PhD paper on how website design affects customer/consumer complaints touched on pain during shopping. That was surprising! I didn’t think of the paper when I saw the call for research on pain and posted about it (link to post: https://fahmeenaodetta.com/2023/06/30/the-topic-pain/). There really is a need for research in this area. Continue reading

  • Parks

    Yesterday’s post on the use of parks for Fourth of July celebrations got me thinking about different parks I visited in the U.S. I am not a frequent park user/visitor but I have visited a lot of small recreational parks over the years. I was a part of quite a few outings/events at parks, including… Continue reading

  • The Topic Pain

    The topic in the recent call for papers by the Journal of Business Research (“No Pain No Gain”: Understanding and Applications of Pain in Marketing Scholarship & Practice) is very interesting! Some of the questions papers can address include: (1) How do different types of pain (e.g., physical, psychological, mental or emotional) affect consumption? (2)… Continue reading

  • Catching Up

    I returned to my publishing work today. I am still catching up (“getting caught up”) on my projects/work.  I needed to make a small change to a paper I submitted so it would be forwarded to the editor/reviewers. I made the change today. I received the email about the change in late February. Continue reading

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
