On June 23, 2024, VFAHT-BUHSC hosted a seminar at Bahria University Health Sciences Campus, Karachi on Foundation of Research and Literature Search, aimed at equipping participants with essential skills for conducting robust and ethical research. The session focused on two key areas: understanding research foundations and mastering literature search techniques.

Participants explored core principles of research, including research question formulation, hypothesis development, research design, and ethical considerations. The seminar also provided comprehensive guidance on effective literature search strategies, navigating academic databases, evaluating source credibility, and using reference management tools like EndNote and Mendeley.

A practical session allowed attendees to apply these techniques, enhancing their ability to gather and analyze credible information for their research projects. The seminar received positive feedback for its balance of theoretical and hands-on learning, leaving participants better prepared to undertake academic and scientific studies with confidence and integrity. This initiative reinforced VFAHT’s commitment to fostering excellence in research and education.
