The Semester One 2009 program of UpSkills training for graduate research students is now available. It includes a series of seven e-research workshops:
- E-publishing Your Thesis and Research Papers
- Copyright, Your Thesis and Future Publications
- Research Data Management – humanities
- Research Data Management – sciences
- Tools for Collaboration and Networking – wikis, blogs and social bookmarking
- Using the Web for Surveys
- Legal Framework for Your Thesis
The e-research workshops are designed for new research students, and for those considering a research higher degree (master’s or PhD). Participants will gain familiarity with skills, methodologies, tools and issues to enable them to participate effectively in the e-research environment.
New technologies are transforming the research environment in every academic discipline. E-research is any research activity that uses information and communication technology (ICT) and embraces new research methodologies.
The e-research training program for graduate researchers is a joint venture of the School of Graduate Studies and the University Library.
Library consultant Jennifer Warburton also provides specialist support for graduate research students throughout the year.
