Useful library pages for the workshop:

As a researcher, publishing in journals is one of the main ways to make your work more broadly visible to other researchers and the community. Taking a strategic view of the publishing process will likely increase your visibility as a researcher and improve the academic and societal impact of your work. 

This workshop will cover:

• General strategies for finding the right journal   
• Ways to evaluate a journal for suitability
• Tips for boosting your impact

Resources: 

The Australian Research Council defines research impact as “the contribution that research makes to the economy, society, environment or culture, beyond the contribution to academic research”. 

Learn how to track your research publications and gather data about the impact they're having in academia and the broader community. 

This workshop will cover: 

At the beginning of your research project one of the first things to consider is what data you'll need to answer your research question, and how you're going to collect it.

In today's high volume and data-rich environment it is pertinent to ask the question “what data exist out there that I can reuse?”.

In this workshop, we will explore:

Your data has a longer lifespan and wider applications than you may realise. Sharing well preserved data can boost opportunities for further research, learning, and innovation; which extends the footprint of your impact.

There are benefits and challenges in preserving and sharing research data, and there are tools available to make the process easier.

In this workshop, we will explore:

Ensuring your research data is stored appropriately and securely is a key responsibility for anyone undertaking research.  This session will cover the essentials of storing data at UTS.  

In this workshop we will explore:

• Classifying research data based on their level of sensitivity.
• Identifying appropriate data storage options based on their classification. 
• Backing up research data using the 3-2-1 method. 

Useful resources for this workshop: 

All research projects at UTS are required to have a Research Data Management Plan (RDMP).  This online document records all of your data management decisions and helps ensure that your data is well-managed throughout the project lifecycle and can be reused efficiently.   

In this workshop, we will explore: 

• Your responsibilities around managing research data.
• What to include in an RDMP.
• How to use Stash to create an RDMP.
