Australia’s current attempt to develop a process to evaluate the quality of research (Excellence in Research for Australia – ERA) places a central emphasis on the disciplinary organisation of academic work. This disciplinary focus poses particular problems for Applied Linguistics in Australia. This paper will examine Applied Linguistics in relation to this issue of discipline in two ways. First, it will examine ways in which Applied Linguistics has articulated for itself its disciplinary nature. In most formulations of the focus of Applied Linguistics, the emphasis has not been on identifying a discipline, but rather on identifying an area of focus. Such formulations necessarily cover a very diverse range of research methods, theories, etc. This approach can be seen as one of emphasising diversity and breadth within the field. Other attempts have been made to characterise Applied Linguistics in more discipline-like terms. Such broad characterisations however conceal a high degree of internal diversity. Applied Linguistics does not appear to be a ‘discipline’ but rather an interdisciplinary field of enquiry. Second, the paper will examine some possible implications of the diversity of Applied Linguistics for how it is positioned through the ERA process.

The involvement of civil servants in formulating public policy is ever expanding. Consequently, in order to effectively respond to rapid changes of the administrative environment, and to resolve the increasing conflicts which are bound to occur in greater frequency among various parties, government administration must be developed to a professional degree. Thus, it is important to restructure policy making processes and to improve the relations with each environmental factor which affects the orderly operation of the overall policy making mechanism. It is even more critical to develop the quality of those civil servants who influence the policy making procedure. In order to realize the above goals, first, government recruiting and staffing systems must be improved to attract and retain competent, capable personnel from the labor market; It is important to develop and preserve a personnel system which is based on the merit principle in order to maintain a high degree of motivation and benefit from the full capacities of employees; Finally, it is imperative to make use of a diverse range of effective training programs, techniques, and operational systems which will equip civil servants with the skills and knowledge necessary to cope with ever increasing administrative demands and develop in them progressive oriented attitudes.

In an age where huge amounts of data is collected on everything we do – from our Google searches to our GPS coordinates – we like to be able to count, measure and assess things. This includes measuring the impact and quality of research in the UK, through an assessment method known as the Research Excellence Framework (REF).

Relevance of the work is due to the increase of crimes committed with the use of cloud technologies and lack of scientific support and research methods of obtaining information located in the cloud storage. Currently, there is a significant increase in incidents committed using cloud technologies. Therefore, to obtain forensically important information from the cloud storage is an urgent task. The process of obtaining such information is a complex technical actions that require a lot of experience and time. The data obtained in this work, experts will optimize actions to improve the efficiency analysis of incidents in the area of ​​information security related to the use of cloud technologies, both through optimization of labor and time costs, and due to the quality of research results.

Learning 4.0 refers to 9 IT-based trends and learning. Changes in education gave birth to innovations in the field of education with the aim of improving the quality of education. Information technology as an innovation becomes an educational need. Technology support in the field of education, educators are greatly helped in efforts to improve the quality of learning. The characteristics of mobile devices that have a high degree of flexibility and portability enable students to access material, direction and information related to learning where and at any time. One of them is the use of mobile learning applications. Interactive multimedia applications can be developed into mobile learning applications. The purpose of this study is to produce an application as a learning tool for students of research methods on Android-based smartphones that have material content that is tailored to the SOP of the State University of Padang. This application was developed through the Prototyping development approach with an Android-based Java programming language using the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of Android Studio. The making of this research resulted in the application of research methods courses as a means of learning for students who had syllabus features, lesson plans, material from units I to X and videos adapted to the syllabus. With the results of the application of learning this research method, it is expected that this application can contribute and provide convenience in the learning process of FPP UNP student research methods.

It is well known that scholarly research methods in science and philosophy are changing with time, needs, perception, thinking, and performance. Many research methods are used under the umbrella of both qualitative and quantitative research and many new research methods are being added by many researchers at different point of time. Many new directions in scholarly research methods are initiated by many innovative researchers in order to bring improvements in the quality of research. Such fearless innovations in the form of new models of scholarly research increased the research methods and models for new generations. This paper focuses on the conceptual analysis of some of the possible new directions in scholarly research for 21st century including the importance of innovations suitable for the progress in the century by analysing some of the important new scholarly research models which can contribute substantially to the research field. The paper also reviews some of the research analysis frameworks which have added tools, techniques, and values to the scholarly research.
