Harness online tools and maximise your visibility in the academic world

If you're a graduate research student or early career researcher who wants to publish your work, or promote publications you already have under your belt for greater reach and impact, this session is for you. Two Faculty Librarians will look at best practice tips.

Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

  • PURE: A research information system that can help you manage your research outputs and increase their visibility.
  • Altmetric Explorer: A tool that tracks online attention and engagement of scholarly articles and other academic work.
  • ORCID: An open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.
  • Bluesky: An alternative to X and operates as a public conversation platform. It's gaining traction around the world.
  • Academic X (Twitter): A platform to share your research with a wider audience and engage with other researchers.
