Advancements in
Research and Innovation

2. What is ICT (Information and Communications
Technology, or technologies)?
• ICT is defined as a diverse set of technological tools and
resources used to transmit, store, create, share or
exchange information. These technological tools and
resources include computers, the Internet (websites, blogs
and emails), live broadcasting technologies (radio,
television and webcasting), recorded broadcasting
technologies (podcasting, audio and video players, and
storage devices) and telephony (fixed or mobile, satellite,
visio/video-conferencing, etc.).

3. Components of ICT:

4. Effects of ICT in Research and Innovation
• ICT tools have been proven to be very helpful to researchers in
finding needed information quickly and easily, expedition in the
research process, improvement in job performance and have also
helped in information access, management and communication.
• ICT helps in identifying information sources, critically analyze
information, manage information, use the information to
communicate knowledge across subject fields, receive results in a
common format, etc.
• Applications of ICT are mainly used by researchers for its ability to
ease the knowledge-gathering process and to enhance resource
development. Researcher in general value creativity and
originality,thus the ICT tools which provide with the most open
situations with great autonomy to the researcher can really help in
identifying and solving research problems in the most creative ways.

5. • ICTs have the potential to increase innovation by speeding up the
diffusion of information, favouring networking among firms, enabling
closer links between businesses and customers, reducing geographic
limitations and increasing efficiency in communication.

6. Summary
The effects of ICT advancements in research and innovation has a huge
impact for the researchers/innovators than compared to before. It is
more easy to gather data/information through technologies and it is
more efficient and faster than before.
