The routes by which academic research can be published has grown exponentially in recent years. From the formal mandates required by the research councils with regard to data research management and open access journals to using social media for less formal, instant data sharing.

This session will cover advanced research practices for researchers from both the perspective of the searcher and the creator/publisher.

By the end of the master class you will be aware of:

• Open Access publishing
• Research data management
• Developing networks
• Using a range of material for research

This master class is run by a Library Skills Adviser
