Course presentation
Description
Research today is a multifaceted process, making you, the researchers, more than just published authors. You are also lecturers, supervisors, project leaders, administrative leaders, collaborators, peer reviewers, among other things. But how do you present all the aspects of your work in the best way? Are there some tools or services that might help you?
In this 90-minute course we will introduce you to the tools and practices in making all your research activities more visible, and we will discuss their benefits and limitations. Additionally, we will give you some practical tips for getting best out the different visibility services and platforms.
We will wrap up with a question and answer session where you will be able to ask us any questions you might have about this topic!
