PREVENT RESEARCH DISASTERS THROUGH GOOD DATA MANAGEMENT

• How much information would you lose if your laptop was stolen?
• Have you ever emailed your colleague a file named 'final_final_versionEDITED'?
• Do you know what your funder expects you to do with your research information?

As a researcher, you will encounter research data in many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications.

Whether you create, receive or collect this information, you will need to organise it.

You've published your research...now what should you do with it?

This session explores the whys and hows of sharing research - the options, the benefits and the logistics.

Confused by copyright? You are not alone!

Copyright involves much more than checking how much you are photocopying, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

Join the Office of Scholarly Communication as we answer your copyright queries, looking at:

• Copyright transfer agreements

• Creative Commons

• 3rd party copyright

• Open Access publisher requirements

The first in our series of PhD Workhops aimed at researchers in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

• Would you like to share your research findings with the international academic community, without paywall restrictions?

• Would you like to boost citations of your work?

• Did you know that funders recognise the benefits of Open Access and most now require it as a condition of their grants?

These are questions for postgraduate students at all stages of their research.

Join us for the third in our series exploring resources to help with the process of publishing your research - from recording observations to editing to peer review. For the first time, this event focuses exclusively on research taking place in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences subjects.

This session offers the chance to learn about available tools and options in publishing and reviewing, and ask questions of the experts.

So-called “fake news” is everywhere and is having a major impact on daily life from politics to education. The rapid growth of information and the numbers of people who can create it means that we need more sophisticated tools to process the news we receive. Join us to learn about different methods you can use to be your own fact checker and pop your filter bubble.
