Update

Hello, I hope you’ve had a lovely summer and are feeling excited about the academic year ahead. Here’s

another USIR update for you.

Training available

What better way to celebrate the start of the new academic year than by getting some training on open

research and the open research infrastructure we have here at the University? My colleagues and I are

always available to deliver training sessions to meet yours and your colleagues’ needs on the following

subjects:

- Complying with the REF policy on open access

- Depositing your work in USIR

- The benefits of open research

- Managing your research data

- ORCID

- Managing your online profiles and sharing research using social media

We can drop in to existing meetings or deliver bespoke presentations according to your needs. Just send us

an email and we can sort something out. If you have new colleagues starting at the University, do let them

know we’re here to support them too.

Twitter

It’s been a while since we promoted the Open Research Twitter account in this report. If you’ve not followed

us already, do follow us at @OpenResSalford. We post links to scholarly communications and open research

related things of interest, tweet about research happening here at Salford and talk about what we’re getting

up to here in the Library.

Many thanks,

Steve Carlton

On behalf of the Research Support Team (The Library)
