The Betty & Gordon Moore Library
This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, will introduce participants to the wonderful world of open access, pre-prints, ORCiD, Symplectic and even Creative Commons licencing. All these tools and systems can help you gain recognition and keep ownership of your research, as well as sharing it widely with others raising your research profile all at the same time.
This drop-in clinic, part of our Moore Methods training programme, will allow participants to get bespoke blogging support, so whether you're starting out or have been writing for a while, come along and find out more about communicating STEM online.
This drop-in clinic, part of our Moore Methods training programme, will allow participants to get bespoke Twitter support, so whether you're starting out on Twitter or have been using it for a while and want some new tips, come along and pick our brains on communicating in 140 characters!
This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, will show good presentation design, give tips on good science communication, as well as getting people to think about different tools and ways of presenting their ideas.
This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, will introduce participants to the ideas of working openly and reproducibly through presenting case studies and tools to help facilitate this kind of work. From GitHub to good file naming conventions, participants will be given the opportunity to learn from other people’s failures and to be better at future-proofing their research.
The session will predominantly be presentation and discussion based with some time at the end for some 1-2-1 focused help from library staff.
While the session has a STEM focus, it is open to all University members. Booking not required but is strongly encouraged so we have an idea of numbers.
This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, 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.
The session will start with a short presentation on the principles of good referencing as well as getting participants to critically evaluate good and bad practice, before moving into a drop-in clinic where participants can get 1-2-1 help from librarians.

This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, 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!
The session will start with a presentation giving tips and tricks for good RDM practices and will move into a drop-in informal clinic where library staff will be available to answer specific questions. As the session will take place on Halloween, expect a spooky theme and free trick-or-treat candy!

This session, part of our Moore Methods training programme, 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 on to a focused look at how to get Google to work for you.
While the session has a STEM focus, it is open to all University members.
This session will open with a talk and Q&A session exploring Wikidata, ContentMine, and WikiCite. The talk will cover how Wikidata relates to the systematic text mining of the scientific literature, as well as the creation on Wikidata of an open collection of bibliographical and citation data. There will also be a free sandwich lunch.
After the initial talk, there will be a 2 hour hands-on session to help you understand how to work with data within a Wikimedia context. Please bring your own device and sign up for a Wikipedia account before the session.
Since its foundation in 2012, Wikidata, the database attached to Wikipedia, has grown steadily. It started life as an index to all Wikipedias, across hundreds of languages. It has become one of the most active sites in the constellation realising the concept of “semantic Web”. It is also easy to edit, and is a versatile resource with numerous applications. The talk element of this session will touch briefly on major aspects of Wikidata and some of the ways it is used, with an additional Q&A section. There will also be a free sandwich lunch.
After the initial talk, there will be a 2 hour hands-on session to help you understand more about how Wikidata works. Please bring your own device and sign up for a Wikipedia account before the session.
