One of the duties of university lecturers is to carry out empirical research. This helps to look for another way or more convenient way to solve societal problems. Research cannot be separated from university work. Students and students-teacher are also involved in research works.

Some of the problem posed to researchers is where they can publish there findings after they have finished their research works. At times, students and learners are challenged with problems like how to write a good abstract.
