Have you ever had problems locating the latest version of a file, or come across obscure file names?

Researchers receive, collect and need to manage a lot of information from different sources.

Additionally, some researchers will also work with research data. Research data takes many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications.

Managing digital information properly is a complex issue, but done correctly from the start, could save you a lot of time and hassle - when preparing a publication or writing up your thesis.

Once you’ve published your research what should you do with it?

This session explores the whys and hows of sharing research – scholarly best practice, the opportunities offered by social media, the benefits that sharing your research brings you and the wider community, and what your funder expects you to share.

We’ll show you how to use the University repository, Apollo, to share your research and also access that of others, and explore ways to find out who has been sharing, using and citing your published research.

Picking where to publish your research and in what format is an important decision to make. This session looks at the things you need to consider during this process.

We’ll look the questions you face when writing a monograph or a book chapter, including choosing a publisher, and understanding fees and publication times. 

This session is part of a series run by the Office of Scholarly Communication for PhD students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.  You may be interested in:

Doing research involves reading a lot of other people's work and trying to figure out how it applies to what you're doing. But how do you manage all of this literature in a way that you can not only keep it organised, but also easily turn what you've read into a handy bibliography, or list of references?
In this session we will look at managing your citations with Zotero. We will explore how this tool allows you to keep on top of what you read online as well as how it can make referencing-induced headaches a thing of the past.
