23 Research Things is back!

If there was ever a time to bring back the 23 Research Things, surely it had to be 2023. 

Now in its fourth iteration, 23 Research Things features 23 blog posts that this year are under the overarching theme of managing your research: working smarter not harder. 

Written by topic experts from across the University of Melbourne, the 800-word posts highlight topics, resources, and tools for researchers across all disciplines and career stages. Some topics are obvious, others may seem a little more abstract – but all are relevant to managing your research within the current landscape. As a bonus feature, some posts will include an interview with someone who has a practical working experience of the topic, providing a “thing in action” point of view.
