“Summer Elevenses”
Have your cake and eat it!
Research Summer School in the Library
Every Wednesday at 11 over the summer, why not down-tools and head over to the Library for a slice of cake and a morsel of research training. Come and network with colleagues whilst picking up a hint or tip on a wide range of research-related topics. Each slot is a manageable coffee-break-sized 30 minutes – just enough time for a breather before you return to your desk refreshed and informed!

Research active staff are frequently being called upon to demonstrate the impact of their research whether for promotion, appraisal, funding applications, or research assessment. One way of measuring the impact of your research is through citation analysis, or bibliometrics. The Library provides access to a widening range of tools that can be used for this purpose. This session will demystify the topic, so that you can use these tools to your advantage. It will not only enable you to evaluate your current research impact, but demonstrate how you can improve its impact in the future. The session will allow time for you to practise using the tools discussed and demonstrated.
