    Analysis of Mechanical Engineering Research Activities Using Bibliometric Method: A Case Study of Undergraduate Projects
    (Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology, 2018) Osueke, Christian O; Idiegbeyan-ose, Jerome; Eyiolorunshe, Toluwani; Aregbesola, Ayooluwa; Owolabi, Sola
    This study investigated the citation pattern of Mechanical engineering students in Landmark University, Nigeria. research projects submitted from 2015 to 201 projects were examined one after the other and the different types of cited materials were recorded according to the year. It was discovered that the citations was high and multiple authored projects accounted for the that the citations on the projects increased on yearly basis. It was also revealed that journal articles accounted for the highest number of cited documents, it was also revealed that most of the cited materials ar that the students preferred to cite multiple authored materials, it was also discovered that the degree of collaboration by the students varies. Based on this research, the paper concluded that researchers should research so as to improve the research output of the undergraduate projects.

    Infopreneurship in a developing country: Opportunities and Challenges
    (IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019-11-01) Aregbesola,Ayooluwa; Walt, T Van der; Owolabi, Sola; Idiegbeyan-ose, Jerome; Okocha, Foluke; Eyiolorunshe, T.
    The purpose of this paper was to discuss the opportunities and challenges of infopreneurship in a developing country. It started with the introduction of the concept; it further discussed the current state of infopreneurship in Nigeria. The paper further highlighted the benefits and challenges of the practice of infopreneurship in Nigeria. It also stated that developed nations have been able to checkmate unemployment, hooliganism, robbery, terrorism and several other national challenges by encouraging infopreneurship through support from government and corporate organizations. The practice has been challenged in Nigeria by lack of structure and coordination from several operators. The paper concluded that infopreneurship plays a strategic role in the economic sector of Nigeria. Therefore, government at all levels should support the success of infopreneurship in Nigeria as this will help to reduce the rate of employment and at the same time lead to the development of the nation.
