Your Online Presence

Guidance for research students and staff, to help you begin to think strategically about your online identity. This includes how to develop a visible, consistent, credible online presence and message, and to engage professionally with social media.

The Conversation

The Conversation is an online source of short articles written by academics for the public. Academic experts and professional journalists collaborate to produce, high quality explanatory journalism aimed at engaging the wider public with research.

Preprints

A preprint is a version of a scholarly or scientific paper before it is published in a peer-reviewed scholarly or scientific journal. Preprints can be deposited in subject based repositories like arXiv and BioRxiv.

Post-Publication Repositories

Publication of your work is not the end of the process – quite the opposite. To ensure the maximum reach and impact of your research you should promote your publication through a variety of channels and tools, two such channels are Research Gate and Academia.edu

Grey Literature

Grey literature can be an effective and highly impactful way of disseminating research findings, or communicating emerging ideas and policy concepts, to specific audiences. This guidance will look at why you should use it and how to search for it, as well as advice on correctly preparing your own work, to ensure it has maximum visibility and reach.
