Research and learning

Equipping you with the right research skills

Research and innovation sit behind every DATSINI solution. Through the Academy we share that know-how: coaching for theses and research projects, training in research methods and tools, and articles from our team.

Coaching and mentoring

Thesis design and development

Thesis design and development is the systematic process of creating and refining a thesis, covering both its conceptual framework and its practical execution.

Defining the research question
Developing a theoretical framework
Designing the methodology
Conducting the research
Analysing findings to contribute new knowledge or insights

Design Science Research

Where theory meets a working artefact

Our experts guide research using the Design Science Research approach alongside qualitative and quantitative methods: theories provide truth, and design artefacts provide utility.

SmartPLS and structural equation modelling

SmartPLS is software with a graphical user interface for variance-based structural equation modelling using the partial least squares path modelling method.

Users estimate models with their own data using basic PLS-SEM, weighted PLS-SEM, consistent PLS-SEM and sumscores regression algorithms, from the measurement model (CFA) to the structural model.

Knowledge engineering

Ontology engineering

Ontology engineering is the field focused on developing and managing ontologies: formal representations of knowledge about a specific domain.

It covers creating, evaluating and maintaining ontologies so knowledge can be shared, reused and reasoned over in applications such as AI, knowledge management and the Semantic Web. Essentially, it provides the methods and tools for building and using these knowledge models.

How Blockchain Features Can Influence Knowledge Sharing
This article explores how blockchain features can influence knowledge sharing, particularly in addressing the structural barriers that hinder effective knowledge exchange within higher education. It focuses on six fundamental characteristics of blockchain technology: transparency, security, decentralization, immutability, traceability, and smart contracts.
Endurant vs Perdurant Knowledge
In today’s digital world, where data fuels almost every aspect of our lives, understanding how things exist and evolve over time has never been more important. This is where two fascinating concepts endurant and perdurant knowledge come into play.
Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM)
Unlike traditional research approaches, DSRM doesn’t begin with abstract theories or purely academic questions. Instead, it starts with something more concrete: a real issue happening in the field, inside an organization, or in the daily workflow of professionals.
Apa itu Kerangka Kerja Integrasi Data Berasaskan Ontologi
Dalam dunia yang semakin bergantung kepada teknologi dan data, pelbagai sistem digunakan untuk mengumpul, menyimpan dan menganalisis maklumat. Dari aplikasi mudah alih, laman web, mesin pintar, hingga ke sensor di ladang – semuanya menghasilkan data setiap masa. Namun, satu cabaran besar yang sering timbul ialah bagaimana kita mahu menggabungkan semua data ini supaya ia dapat dimanfaatkan dengan lebih bermakna dan berkesan
