Register for upcoming training sessions by the RILAS team below:
Metrics and evidence of research impact for ARC applications: STEMM
This session is intended for researchers writing the ROPE section of their ARC or NHMRC grant application. Research outputs metrics in grant applications should be clear, contextualised, constructively presented, and contain all information necessary for assessors to source and to benchmark the candidate relative to career, opportunities and experiences. This session aims to assist you to find evidence for your own Research Opportunity and Performance Evidence (ROPE), with a particular focus on publications.
The topics include:
- Main tools and their data sources
- Types of metrics
- Demonstration of SciVal
Date: Tuesday 6 September 2022
Time: 12:00-1:00pm
Introduction to Research Metrics: an overview and update for librarians, professional staff and researchers
This session is intended for graduate research students and academic staff at the university. The session aims to bring staff and researchers up to date with the current state-of-play regarding using research metrics to demonstrate research impact in grant applications, grant reporting and job or promotion applications.
The topics include:
- University of Melbourne’s position
- Requirements of major funders (ARC, NHMRC)
- Overview of prominent tools: discipline coverage, functionality, weaknesses
Date: Tuesday 14 September 2022
Time: 12:00-1:00pm
Metrics and evidence of research impact for ARC applications: HASS
This session is intended for researchers writing the ROPE section of their ARC or NHMRC grant application. Research outputs metrics in grant applications should be clear, contextualised, constructively presented, and contain all information necessary for assessors to source and to benchmark the candidate relative to career, opportunities and experiences. This session aims to assist you to find evidence for your own Research Opportunity and Performance Evidence (ROPE), with a particular focus on publications.
There will be time during the webinar for questions and answers.
The topics include:
- Main tools and their data sources
- Types of metrics
- Demonstration of SciVal
Date: Tuesday 20 September 2022
Time: 11:00am-12:00pm
Beyond traditional metrics: Finding alternative evidence of impact and engagement
This session is intended for researchers seeking alternative metrics for traditional research outputs (eg. journal articles) and metrics to demonstrate the impact of non-traditional research outputs (eg. datasets, software, performance, exhibitions, etc).
There will be time during the webinar for questions and answers.
The topics include:
- Metrics that demonstrate online activity
- Main tools and their data sources
Date: Tuesday 13 October 2022
Time: 12:00-1:00pm
