The first afternoon is mainly about searching for academic literature. We will discuss different search strategies, so that at the end of the day participants will know how to perform a systematic search for a literature review or an alert. We will focus on databases that are suitable for Faculty of Science and specifically the individual research institutes.
During the second afternoon we will focus on publishing: what is open access, and how do you get your publications published? Also Research Data Management and the data stewards of the different Faculty of Science institutes will be discussed.
Getting started
