NRCVEE JOURNAL CLUB
About the NRCVEE Journal Club
The NRCVEE Journal Club (JC) was initiated in the year 2021. The intent behind the inception of NRCVEE JC was to render opportunities to doctoral research students and post-doctoral fellow researchers pursuing research at NRCVEE to meet, discuss, and brainstorm regarding recent developments involving conceptual and methodological aspects vis-à-vis multidisciplinary research areas. Few examples of the multi-disciplinary research areas at NRCVEE are mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and sustainability. The details regarding NRCVEE research areas are available on PhD Program page.
The doctoral research students are encouraged to present the works of established/well-cited authors/scholars pertaining to NRCVEE research areas. The weekly discussions and brainstorming nurtures and facilitate knowledge building with regard to varied conceptual and methodological issues as well as critical thinking and research innovation. The weekly discussions also render a glimpse of research endeavors and innovations presently underway in multidisciplinary research areas pertaining to NRCVEE. Importantly, doctoral research students and facility are also encouraged and invited to present their own research works.
Since inception, two segments of NRCVEE JC meetings have been organized. The meetings during the first segment were held during February – July 2021. The second segment commenced in January 2022. The second segment is presently underway.
During the first segment, the following research articles/works have been presented –
