Want to learn how to use Twitter? Need to know the difference between a hashtag and a gif and how they can help inspire and push your research forward? In this interactive session we will take you through the basics of how Twitter works and how you can get Twitter to work for you and your research.
While the session has a STEM focus, it is open to all University members.
This session is part of our gaming-themed Moore Methods lunchtime series of talks.
This session will cover the things you need to consider in order to reach your audience effectively through publication. It will introduce how you should decide which academic journal is most appropriate for your research, including considerations such as journal rankings, publication times, fees and your own publication history. It will also cover the concept of using pre-print servers before publication - when and where to post your work and the benefits it can bring.
This session is part of the Cambridge Researcher Development Programme.
This session will show participants the fundamentals of good Research Data Management (RDM) to help make sure all the research data that they might be generating as part of their work doesn't take over their lives, or that of their band of warriors!

This session explores why you should share your all research as widely as possible and how you can go about doing so. It will demonstrate the potential that Open Research can have in maximising exposure for your work and how you can track and trace how your research is being shared online.

This session will show participants why referencing is a good thing for management of your own research, as well as introducing participants to referencing tools that can be integrated with Word and specialist tools like LaTeX. We will get you to test your knowledge with interactive exercises throughout with a chance to maybe even win prizes!

You own your own research right? Well it depends. In this session we will explore the sometimes very complicated world of copyright and what can happen when you publish your work. We'll also introduce you to concepts such as third party copyright, and how you can use existing licencing tools to maximise the reach of your research as well as using other peoples work to advance your own, but legally.

No-one wants to lose critical time (and hearts) trying to jump over impossibly big copyright pits of spikes right? In this session we will explore the often confusing and discombobulating world of copyright and what happens when you share or publish your work. We'll introduce you to tricky concepts such as third party copyright and how to protect your own work, as well as how to use free licensing tools to maximise the reach of your own research as well as using other peoples work, but legally.
Referencing where you got ideas and inspiration from for your research is a core skill for any good researcher. In this session, you will learn about the University of Cambridge's approach to plagiarism, as well as giving tips and tricks on how to avoid being caught out through bad referencing techniques. You will also be shown handy tools that can do a lot of the work for you as well as managing your literature reading list throughout your work and beyond.
This session is part of the Cambridge Researcher Development Programme.
This session will help participants develop skills to get them searching for research quickly and efficiently. The session will start with a demonstration of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and MathSciNet before moving onto less traditional resources such as arXiv and a focused look at how to get Google to work for you. So level up your searching skills with your friendly librarians at the Moore!
