Total Quality Management of Research Articles in Electrical Engineering

Abstract

Recently, the quality management of research articles (RA) has cherished an era of remarkable growth and conglomeration. It is because the qualitative approach has become an established and valued approach among varietal areas and contexts. The quality of RA is precisely based on the clarity of the illustration of the aims. Previously, the categorical analysis of RA has been restricted to the format of writing the article following Introduction-Process-Testing-Conclusion (IPTC) or Introduction-Methodology-Result-Discussion (IMRD) standards. But the wholesome strategy of Total Quality Management (TQM) of RA has not been demonstrated from the core in the discipline of Electrical Engineering (EE). The research question, sample, control of staggering variables, research designs, criteria measures, data analysis, ethics, discussions, references are the critical collectibles (CCs) on what matters to the readers of RA. The macrostructures of EE-RA, features of each sector of EE RA, section headlines, extension of description and prominent aspects were analyzed for hundred RA from fifteen journals of EE. These features are compared with respect to all the CCs. This chapter helps to recognize the necessary inputs for TQM implementation with different proactive journals of EE to improve the quality of RA.
