“Imagination is more important than knowledge” – Albert Einstein
“How to become a Researcher?” is an effort to motivate young talent especially
students towards R&D and harness their intellectual capabilities according to the
industrial requirements. Academic institutions produce a large pool of talented
manpower, but few innovations and patented products. This is because of lack of
necessary technical and practical skills, lack of cultural fit and attitudes towards
teamwork. Due to insufficient guidance, even faculties are unaware of latest
happenings and in-turn fail to deliver research aptitude to students.
The aim of this book is to provide necessary information about basics of research
and the actual methodologies applied while doing research. Highlighting the
details of technical writing followed by both academic and commercial research.
Describing the importance of technical events and publications along with
explaining the various preventive steps taken against plagiarism, infringement,
counterfeits, etc. Presentation skills are also included to guide researchers to
market their research ideas.
The book is intended to be accessible to under-graduate and post-graduate
students as well as research scholars and someone who would like to take up
research either full-time / part-time or consider research as a hobby.

promising tools to solve various problems of energy production, distribution, and consumption. Of paramount
importance research issues in investigation cover a wide spectrum of issues including: Energy technologies from
renewables, energy engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, spatial allocation of
renewables in remote and off-the-grid systems, supplementary role of renewables to energy production from
mainland grid systems, social perception of increasing energy sharing from renewables to national energy mixes,
land use/land cover upon energy infrastructures, geomorphology specifications, as well as models development upon
utilization of renewables.
In parallel, greenhouse buildings and infrastructures have recently attracted the research interest, due to the
energy-intensive building sector at all phases of buildings’ life-span: raw materials’ extraction, transportation,
construction, operation and maintenance, demolition, and decommissioning of building debris. The greener
orientation of building materials –containing low energy requirements, along with improved thermal, physical,
mechanical, and waterproof properties– are playing a decisive role in the construction sector (and its abiding
industrial plants).

Abstract: Critical minerals (CMs) are metals and non-metals that play a significant role in developing a country's
economy and security. Geologically, most countries worldwide have identified critical minerals as per their national
priorities and future requirements and developments. The lack of critical metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits
in the country leads to disrupted supply chain vulnerability and impacts the nation's development. The critical
minerals occur in three major resources. They are primary mineral deposits. Secondary minerals extract waste
materials such as electronic waste and tertiary. Factors influencing the designation of critical minerals by
individual nations in the world.Each nation has its own designated mineral deposit potential to sustain its economic
and defense requirements. The main factors that influence criticality depend upon five prime dimensions, such as: i)
economic dimensions; ii) supply chain; iii) technology requirements; iv) geopolitical issues; and v) geological
parameters that influence the criticality of minerals. Each nation listed the critical minerals based on their reserves,
resources, and the extent of restrictions on exploitation and requirements. The United States of America (USA)
listed 50 mineral commodities critical to their economy in 2022. The United Kingdom declared 18 critical minerals,
the European Nations listed 34 raw critical minerals, Japan designed 311 minerals for its economy, and Australia
declared 26 critical minerals based on the country's requirements. The Ministry of Mines and Government of India
officially declared 30 critical minerals for the year 2022. These minerals include antimony, beryllium, bismuth,
cobalt, copper, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, indium, lithium, molybdenum, niobium, nickel, PGE,
phosphate, potash, REE, rhenium, silicon, strontium, tantalum, tellurium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium,
zirconium, selenium, and cadmium. The primary source materials for CMs are different minerals and ore minerals
that occur in diverse rock types and ore deposits on Earth. These primary sources—ore deposits, hosted by the
magmatic, sedimentary, and metamorphic-metasomatic rocks—are all affected by diverse mineralisation processes
that include hydrothermal activity, syn-/dia-/epi-genetic effects, remobilization-recrystallization, weathering,
transportation (as in placers), etc. India can give top priority to astrogeology and astro-mining to explore and
exploit critical minerals from the Moon and other planets. Critical mineral resource management necessitates,
exploiting primary, secondary, and e-waste with the latest innovativetechnologies.
