Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
This study titled “Postgraduate Historical Research format with reference to Sudan and Nigerian Methods” A comparative perspective has been established to justify historical research procedures, examine the concept of research, assess the role of essential ingredients i.e tools of research, purpose of academic research and characteristics. The overriding concern of the study is the examination of the similarities and dissimilarities associated with Sudan and Nigerian postgraduate techniques of historical research. The study found that at the point of entry postgraduate admission in Sudan its acquisition is subject to the presentation of all authentificated original Certificates duly signed for official scrutiny and consideration, Research proposal copy, for circulation and confirmation for the avoidance of repetition and plagiarism. Where as in Nigeria it is not practicable. Furthermore, in Nigeria abstract in the text cannot be more than one or prepared in any other language than the language used while conducting the research , writing and compiling the work forsubmission. In Sudan a thesis written in any other language than Arabic must have two forms of abstract e.g English and Arabic for the consumption of the general reading public especially those that cannot understand the language under which the Dissertation/ Thesis is prepared. By responding to the criteria governing the submission of the thesis. The focus of the thesis may best be understood by the Arabs who cannot understand any other language rather than theirs. In Nigeria Research results and recommendation are not directly stated in sequence in the text of historical works conducted. In Sudan, it is compulsory for easy identification of the major findings and recommendations. Some Nigerian scholars argue that it is not a duty for the historian to speculate, predict or pass down judgment. The study has found that some of the scholars of these two respective countries are hardworking, versatile and committed. It further implores the University academic staff to befound answerable, questionable, promising and be tolerating the intellectual shortcomings of their postgraduate students for constructive criticism and intellectual encounter to have a place at the tail end, and has in the final stage recommended a way forward
