Why you need to know about Open Research: opening the door to your academic future (for PhD students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences)
- Would you like to share your research findings with the international academic community, and use open materials from other researchers, without paywall restrictions?
- Would you like to boost citations of your work and increase collaboration?
- 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.
Research in the 21st century is changing at a rapid pace and it can be hard to keep up with this dynamic and fast-paced environment. There are more pressures on researchers than ever before, including mandates around Open Access and data sharing as well as extra pressure to boost citations to secure the next role.
The University of Cambridge has recently committed to promoting and supporting Open Research, and understanding the basics of 'what it is' is now essential for researchers. This introductory session will help you navigate this complex landscape including the benefits of Open Access, how to use the University’s repository to publish research and boost your citations, and how to comply with the new regulations.
- PhD students in HASS subjects.
