Challenges faced by Indian students as
they go to study abroad
(a). Modern age online research
Conducting of an online research is very important and forms a very
crucial aspect of all scholars and academicians. It is considered as being an
integral part of any student because through a research then these scholars and
students are in a position to impact a social change (Merriam & Tisdell, 2015).

cont..
 For not Indian students furthering their education overseas, they
are faced by some very common challenges as far as conducting
a research is concerned. Some of these common challenges in
online research are outlined below;
 Choosing the right topic-Well, a research topic needs to be
carefully chosen. It is basically considered to be the foundation
and the basis of the whole research.

Cont..
It is therefore crucial to choose a research topic. Indian students
studying abroad find this very challenging since they have to
develop a doable topic, read anything and everything in regard to
that particular topic, find some theoretical facts relating to the topic
of interest and also making sure that the chosen topic fully fits the
issue of interest to be studied (Laudon & Laudon, 2016).

Cont..
This is one of the greatest challenges in modern age online
research. There is only one way in which this particular problem can
be avoided, through reading lots and lots of articles, doing an extra
research on the subject matter and consulting various experts
related to the matter, then this challenge can be managed.

Cont..
Challenge in finding study participants-In every research study
there must be participants who would participate in the study, well
this is actually among one of the most challenging problem that the
Indian students face since a lot of money needs to be spend on the
participants to convince them to take part in the study and also
since they are Indians, convincing these participants is quite
challenging.

Cont..
For this challenge, the most possible way of getting through it is
being rational, the students should be bold and freely interact with
people from various social backgrounds so as to be in a position to
find the participants they need.

Cont..
(b). Reference sources
Referencing and the use of citations is very important, it
helps the writer avoid plagiarism. The APA referencing style for
instance allows the writer acknowledge not only the ideas of others
but also their thoughts and words. Referencing is even more crucial
since it actually brings out the picture that the writer has indeed
read the relevant literature and he/she can account for that.

Cont..
Proper citations on the other hand enable other readers to locate
the material used in that particular research. It is, however
challenging among the Indian students furthering their studies
overseas since the process of gathering all the appropriate and
required references is quite a hectic task. It requires a lot of
commitment and concentrations which the Indian students studying
abroad find challenging.

Cont..
For this challenge to be managed, then students must learn how to
use the different referencing styles and citations. One of the most
common used referencing styles is the APA referencing style; it
should be learnt and clearly understood by the students.
