Who Should Attend?
This session is designed for academic and research staff
Course Overview
Research active staff are frequently being called upon to demonstrate the impact of their research whether for promotion, appraisal, funding applications, or research assessment.
One way of assessing the impact of your research is through citation analysis, or bibliometrics. The Library provides access to a widening range of tools that can be used for this purpose. This session will demystify the topic, so that you can use these tools to your advantage, and provide hints and tips on improving your citation count.
The session will provide an opportunity for you to practise using the tools discussed and demonstrated.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
1. evaluate the citation impact of their current research through the use of selected tools
2. identify high impact journals to publish in
3. recognise the strengths and weaknesses of bibliometrics as a measure of research impact
