SUMMARY:Writing a Data Management Plan (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Many public funders of research require applicants to submit a data management plan (DMP) or Technical Plan as part of their application\, detailing what data will be collected in the proposed project\, how data will be managed\, and how and where data will be preserved and made available to others after the project concludes. Whether a funder requires it or not\, if you use data in your research\, you should have a DMP for your project. Writing a DMP can help you plan and execute research effectively\, curate data for maximum utility\, identify and manage risks\, and ensure resource needs are appropriately costed. \nThis 2-hour course will offer practical guidance on developing an effective DMP\, and how to make best use of a DMP in your day-to-day research. Information about data management planning tools and resources to help you will be provided.

SUMMARY:Research Impact (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Research Staff Development Opportunities. \nThis session is aimed at all research staff within all disciplines. It will introduce the topic of Research Impact\, the good that our research has on the world outside academia\, and outline its importance and the steps that can be taken to achieve it. The Research Impact Team will work with you to understand the impact that your research could have\, the stakeholders that would be interested in your work (including organisations\, policy makers and the general public) and how to approach them and finally how to plan to gather evidence to support impact claims. Pathways to Impact (part of RCUK grant applications) will also be covered. This session will be tailored to suit academics with developed\, developing or potential research impact.

SUMMARY:Engaging with Policymakers (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Research Staff Development Opportunities. \nAt some point in their career\, many researchers will be asked to provide advice to policymakers in government\, the public sector or the private sector. In this session\, we will discuss some of the different ways that researchers can engage with Westminster and with Whitehall. We will look at how policymakers access information to help them make decisions and explore some of the different routes that researchers can use to engage in parliamentary processes. We will also discuss how to write an impartial summary of your research and situate your work in a wider policy context. We will work with practical examples with plenty of time for discussion.

SUMMARY:Stakeholder Mapping for Research Staff (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding your key stakeholders and what they want from your research is a fundamental part of any successful communications or engagement plan. This session will introduce some simple tools to help you identify and prioritise potential stakeholders and to decide how best to work with them. We will use case studies from research teams across the University and live examples from participants to show how understanding your audiences can help you to improve your research and its impact. Led by the Research Communications and Engagement team. \nThis is a new session that is currently being developed. Please reserve the date and time if you think this may be of interest to you\, as it is not yet available to book via Employee Self Service.

SUMMARY:CentAUR and Open Access Surgery (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:This session is intended for researchers and those supporting them. \nWe can help you with queries about the open access policies that you must comply with\, the gold and green options available to you and the processes to follow. We can also answer a wide range of questions about CentAUR (our institutional repository)\, or provide an overview of CentAUR for new users. \n(See also SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING – REQUIREMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES for those needing a general overview and OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATIONS POLICIES AND WHAT THESE MEAN FOR YOU for researchers who need to comply with REF and funder open access policies. There is some overlap between these two courses.) \n12.00 – 12.45\, 13.00 – 13.45\, 14.00 – 14.45

SUMMARY:Introduction to Bibliometrics (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Bibliometric data are increasingly used in research assessment exercises and in recruitment decisions but they can also give you insights into how your research is being used by others and help you to make informed journal choices. This session will introduce some commonly used bibliometrics and explain how they are calculated and what they mean. The issues behind the responsible use of metrics will also be explored. A hands-on section of the session will use tools such as Scopus\, SciVal\, Google Scholar and InCites to explore bibliometric data sources. This is a 90 minute session however the last 30 minutes will be allocated for hands on tasks.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the SciVAL Research Intelligence Tool (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:SciVal is a powerful research intelligence tool based on bibliometric data from research publications. SciVal enables researchers and those supporting research staff to visualize their institution/group’s research performance and benchmark it relative to their peers based on a variety of different metrics. It can also help you identify areas or partners for the development of collaborative networks. This session will introduce you to the scope and possibilities of SciVal and show you how to perform targeted analyses based on the publications of your own research division. This is a 90 minute session. The first 60 minutes will explain what the tool is and how it can be used. The last 30 minutes will be an extended hands-on activity so that you get practical experience of using the tool.

SUMMARY:ORCiD Identifiers – What are they and why do I need one? (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:ORCID identifiers are being increasingly adopted by publishers and funders and there are already over 700 ORCID users at University of Reading. This session will help you understand why you need to create an ORCID identifier (ORCID iD) to establish your researcher identity and claim your research outputs. Find out how and when to use your ORCID ID in your professional scholarly activities. This is a 90 minute session\, however the last 30 minutes will be reserved for you to create and populate an ORCID record with assistance from the trainer.

SUMMARY:CentAUR\, REF & Funders’ Open Access Policies for Research Publications (Research Staff Development Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:This session explains to researchers which publications the University requires them to deposit in CentAUR (green Open Access) and how this ensures compliance with both the University’s Open Access policy and the more specific REF and funder Open Access policies. We will also include guidance on how to publish as gold Open Access. The focus is on journal articles. At the end of the session you will be able to comply with the University’s CentAUR Deposit policy\, Open Access policy\, REF 2021 Open Access policy\, funder Open Access requirements\, use tools to find funder and publisher policies\, and apply to the University’s Open Access Fund to cover open access publishing costs.
