 Okay, hello and welcome everybody to Making Your Publications Count. This is a follow on presentation from Faheen's session just before on publishing your research and this is talking about how you then count your research. So I'm Crystal, I'm one of the librarians here at CityU Library and joining me today is the fabulous Rachel. If you'd like to turn on your camera and give us a wave, Rachel. Hi Crystal, hello everyone in the classroom and I'll be monitoring the chat today. So if you do have any questions throughout the session you can always type in there and we'll always be happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thanks Crystal. No worries. Thank you. So we're going to get started today in talking about everything to do with counting your publications and metrics so we're probably going to go pretty fast and through some content that is confusing. So we would encourage you while we're going to put any questions you have in the chat. You're also welcome to turn your microphones on and ask any questions you have using your own voice but be mindful that the session is being recorded as well. So let's get started. I'd like to acknowledge first that we're here on the lands of the Larakia people in Sunny Darwin and to pay my respects to Indigenous cultures and elders past, present and emerging. You might like the place in the chat where you're joining us from and acknowledge the Indigenous owners of the lands that you're on today as well. So what we're going to cover today, we're going to talk about metrics like what are they? We're going to talk about different types of metrics, how you can use metrics responsibly to talk about your research and the impact of your research. We're then going to delve into a bit about alternative metrics or alt metrics which if you just attended for his session you got a taster of there. We're going to hopefully demystify the H index for you and then talk a bit about writing about your research. So to get us started today, tell us a bit about you. Please write in the chat and tell us where you're at on your research journey and what led you here today. So are you beginning your research? Are you not sure what metrics are and what they mean for you just yet? Or are you somewhere in the middle? Are you a seasoned researcher who's written about your research and you know what some of these metrics are and you're just coming today for a refresher? Or are you somewhere in the middle? So it's okay wherever you're at we'll have something to share with you, we'll have some information for you and hopefully we'll be able to answer some of your questions. But hopefully by the end of the presentation you'll have a clearer idea of what research metrics are, what they tell you about your research and how you can use them to promote yourself and your research and you'll know where to go with questions where you have them. Okay. So we'll dive straight into what are metrics? So you've got three different types of metrics if you like. But before we even get into those, bibliometrics comes from the biblio meaning books which is Greek and metrics which is a unit of measuring. So they're numerical measures of your impact as a researcher. We use units of measurements daily when you think of things like the time, height, length so bibliometrics refer to your academic performance and it's important to remember while we go through this whole presentation that there are only one measure of success. So the impact of your research is measured by how many times piece of your research is cited by a subject or author and how many times a specific article and journal is cited to then assess the importance of the journal and its impact in the field of study. They are also used to calculate university rankings. So to understand research metrics and their importance and how to interpret them you need to consider what it is that you want to know order to then know where to draw that information from. So this is what we mean when we've got three different types of metrics. You've got an author level metric, an article level metric or a journal level metric. So you can see there that I've used the very famous Albert Einstein as my example here. So just to demonstrate the kind of author level metrics that can be found on a Google Scholar profile. So this is showing how many times Albert has been cited and which years that that paper was written in. And then we're looking at things like his H-index of 103 and all of that information has come from Google Scholar. Then if we go across to the article level metrics we've got details there that can be drawn from the article and what that means in relation to the journal that's published in. And then journal level metrics. So then you're looking at the different, the numbers if you like or the metrics for the particular journal. So you can use each for different things. So things like author level metrics, the H-index Google Scholar, the FWCI or field weighted citation impact which is a Syval metric, the category normalized citation impact or CNCI which is drawn from insights, the citations per publication which is drawn from Syval and insights and the author level eigenfactor which is an SSRN found in Elsevier. Author level metrics describe the researcher and can be used to distinguish researchers from another most effectively in the same fields of research. The journal level metrics include things like JCR, the journal citation reports, the JIF, the journal impact factor, the SJR, the Symargo journal rank, eigenfactor, SNP and site score which is scopus or H-index for journal. And again these are used to quantify and measure journals and compare journals within specific subjects. Article level metrics include alt metrics plus article level metrics and article citation counts. Okay how are we going for questions? I'm just going to check. Thank you for your updates about where you're at. That's really great to hear and to see that we've got a wide range there. Okay so why should you care about metrics? Well first of all they're a personal metric for you so they tell you how you're going in your research journey. They help you keep records of your research to track your performance over time and hopefully see improvements and they help with your career development and progression and things like academic promotions if you're going to go on and have an academic career. From an institutional point of view they're good for CDU to keep track of as well. They help prove our standing in the excellence of research of Australia process which is a process that happens every three years and the university three or four years. The university is going through the cycle of that currently, needing to prove their research is valid and we are producing good impact for research which results in more funding for us in the institution so more opportunities for our PhD students and researchers. It results in more grants and exciting opportunities for research and collaborations with other institutions who want to come and research with us because we have a good reputation. And it links in with the university's strategic plan as well. All of this regardless of whether you're talking from a personal point of view or an institutional point of view, means improvements to the quality impact of the research for both the person and the individual as well. So Faheen also mentioned before the OASIC scheme so I'd like to just mention that again when it comes to talking about impact of your research open access publishing means your research has more impact. It gets it out there to more people and CDU have the open access support for increased citation schemes or OASIC and that's tied to specific metrics that is it's tied to journals that fall within a Q1 journal ranking as a cause to SJR which is Simargo journal ranking. So this means an increase in Q1 or equivalent publications and it can increase the uptake and impact of research by end users as well. Any questions about that? We'll keep going. Okay so I mentioned before about responsible use of metrics. So there are important reasons why we want to pay attention to and use our metrics responsibly. It is important to combine a variety of metrics with qualitative evidence to demonstrate your research value. Metrics should be used critically and they can't replace the informed judgement of peers. Evidence can take many forms and will be highly dependent on the outcomes of an individual research project. The light and manifesto for research metrics outlines 10 principles to guide research evaluation and the San Francisco declarations on research assessment or DORA similarly outlines a range of issues to keep in mind when using research metrics. I highly recommend you looking at those documents that can be found on Google and that will help to elucidate this process. So responsible use of metrics involves robustness, humility, transparency, diversity and reflexivity. The robustness means that metrics need to stand up to professional scrutiny and quality measures they can be verified and relied upon. Humility means taking into account the qualitative nature and the quantitative nature of data. So qualitative data is counted, measured and expressed using numbers. Qualitative data is descriptive and conceptual. Qualitative data can be categorised based on traits and characteristics. The numbers should support who you are as a researcher. It's not all about a number of your publications, rather the quality and the relativness of that data to your research. Your metrics should be transparent. It's keeping data collection and analytical processes open and transparent so that those being evaluated can test and verify the results. They should be responsive, accounting for a variety of research, researchers and research types so they should be diverse. And reflexive recognising and anticipating the systemic and potential effects of indicators and then updating them in response. Okay, so talking about journal metrics in detail here. So it's easy to get lost in the acronyms, that is JIF, JCR and ERA, and those meaning journal impact factor, journal citation reports and excellence in research for Australia as I mentioned before. Articles in the sciences tend to rank higher than those in the humanities. This is a known limitation. So web of science is not as strong in the arts area. There's no substitute there. There is a discrepancy between the arts and sciences. Science is citation and publication heavy as is medicine and psychology. The more intangible subjects require and value performances on the job performance and this is a known limitation of these. So journal citation reports which is a web of science metric. Dataset has rankings. You will need to create your own login to use them but there's no subscription needed. So Margot journal and country rank can be used to look at journal metrics and thank you for showing that earlier. I can show you how you can find that a little bit later. Again for those of us who are new to this session. So what are Q1 journals? Q1 journals are the journals that fall within the top 25% of journals within their field of research. So we'll jump out. See if I can share my screen with you and I can show you. Just going to share my screen. I can show you finding a journal in JCR for those of us who are new. So we'll go to so you can find it in Google. If you open up some Margot and you can do a search for journal title or publisher name. So if you had a particular journal that you were looking at let's look up Nature and you select from the list and you can find the information here on the SJR website. So you can find if you're looking for a journal to publish in if I can cover all of this before you've got information here about how to publish scroll down and see it's all green which you'll see when we keep scrolling down means that Nature is a Q1 journal. You can see other information here about the journal as well and if you are considering publishing in a journal you can find all of this on the SJR website and here it's been Q1 since 1999 as well. So that's all very helpful information for you to know. So I'll stop sharing now. We'll go back to the presentation. Oh, Rach, I think I've lost the presentation. Sorry, one minute. Crystal, sorry. Thank you so much. I don't think we actually shared anything just then. Oh, you couldn't see anything, Alex? No. Oh, could anyone else see anything? I could. Crystal. Okay. Oh, sorry, Alex. I'll make sure I check the next time I jump out. Okay, maybe I've concentrated. I have your you or your camera rather than the other screen. It's up now. Okay, you should see the last screen we were on. So I'll be mindful. I will check before I go out and make sure that people can see my screen again. I believe there's only one other time I'll be sharing my screen. Okay. Yep, fine. Right, so I'm handing across to Rach anyway right now. Excellent. Thank you, Crystal. Thanks, Crystal. Okay, so that's really useful too, but the distinction between different disciplines and the way we measure things and two other areas that do have some different ways of measuring a journal and statistics and the areas of business and law. These journals are mainly assessed on peer review rather than citation analysis. And it's generally because citations in the law area are generally low as they can be in the business area. So if we use traditional tools that we might use for science disciplines, when we compare them in the business and law area, they can be generally low. So an example of this is the Federal Law Review, one of the primary law journals. Yeah, if we use it in something like SJI, or one of the other sort of journal metric databases, it has quite a low appearance. So it's only got a H index of two, so quite low. And it's not a Q1 journal. Same with Australian Journal of Management. This is one of the premier business journals. If we look at it again, quite low and not a Q1 journal. But because of this, there are some alternative lists that can be used in other disciplines. One example is the Australian Business Deans Council List. If we use the Australian Business Deans Council List, which is available, freely available online, we can see that the Federal Law Review is an A star journal, which means it is one of the highest rankings. On the A2 lower, A star is the highest. If we look at the Australian Journal of Management, it's an A list. And it's sort of important to know that there are other lists to look at because sometimes when you're applying for grants or promotions or other ways of describing, if you work in a discipline such as a law or business, there are some alternative lists you can use. A common one is the Australian Business Deans. So they list their journals from A to C. The latest list is from 2019. So a bit older, but it has a great list of journals there. There's also the Washington and Lee School of Law List and the Sydney University Business School ranking list. Another way to evaluate how the journal is performing using alternative tools. Thanks, Crystal. No worries. Thanks so much, Rach. So moving right along, so rather than jumping into the databases and getting lost, I've taken some screen shots over the next couple of pages to show you the kind of information that you can find in Scopus that will help you to talk about your research. So these are from Scopus. This is an example that Farheen used before. I'm showing that different, this is the same researcher rather. So we've got here an example of from Scopus and wondering sort of when you open this up, what can you see in this profile? So we can see at the very top under his name we've got where the researcher is from. So the information Scopus shows the affiliation of the researcher to CDU. Thanks Rach. We've got his Scopus ID listed there, which again this is the profile from Scopus so you would expect to see that there. Next to that, however, we've got the prompt to connect to ORCID. So this means that the researcher's ORCID hasn't been added to his Scopus profile yet. So that's something you would want to do to make sure that you've connected your research to have it all in the one place. And then you've got the option there to connect to a Mendeley account as well if you have one. So that's something else you can help to keep track of your research that's in that location to keep that all together. So Scopus and having a Scopus profile means you can keep all of your content and data from external websites and applications including abstracts and citation data from scholarly journals, books and conferences that are indexed by Scopus. That's important. They need to be indexed by Scopus to have them in your Scopus account. So don't fall into the trap of thinking that you have one research profile such as Scopus and it will keep absolutely everything for you. That's not the case and you might be in a situation where you need to keep several. So the one research aggregator for them all would be your Orchid that keeps every single piece of your research together in one place. Okay, moving along. So now we've got an example from SciVal. So SciVal is part of Scopus. It uses Scopus data to keep your metrics together. So here you've got an example of the same researcher and the profile that you see in SciVal. So immediately you can see different numbers there and different kinds of information. So we can see that this researcher has 10 research outputs. They have a field weighted citation impact of 2.28. Now that's a very good FWCI. One is world standard. So that means that this researcher is doing better than twice world standard. There are of those 10 outputs there is 298 citations meaning that they've got 2.29 citations averaged per paper. And there you can see that down the bottom, the 29.8 citations per publication a H index of 10 as well. I will explain what the H index is but you can find all of these numbers based on the SciVal data. So again I mentioned that being important because the data in here in SciVal is based on the data in Scopus and if you're missing publications out of your Scopus profile or they're not counted because they're not indexed by Scopus the data will not be complete for you. Just a little bit more. Just looking at those some Scopus. Yep, yep I've explained that. Alrighty any questions so far from that? Just making sure I don't miss anything. Okay. So then moving along to Web of Science So Web of Science is another other data that you can draw from Web of Science. So this here is an example of journal information that you can pull from Web of Science it's the journal impact factor. And so you can see here the journal impact factor of this particular journal is 3.336. Now these will all be numbers but you might, you will need to know where this is and how to look it up so that you can talk about. So say you're in the position that you've been asked to submit a report to gain some research funding and you need to prove the quality of the journals that you've published in before. Now you've already looked up the SJR and you can see their Q status and you've got that down there. So you've found that of the 10 journals that you've published in 9 of them are Q1. Perfect. Then you can also add in the journal impact factor that you can find here on Web of Science and you can add in that data as well. So that's a use case for when you'd want to add in that data. Okay. So and this is more about research impact. So talking about the SJR if it's Q1 or not. So you can see that from, that's a screenshot that was taken from SJR where you can find the Q1 status on, about the journal. The QR code here links to Simargo. So again, I said you can find that by just simply googling Simargo. So the Simargo journal rank or SJR is similar to the IGUN factor. The SJR gives greater weightage to citations from influential journals. It is based on the average number of weighted citations in a year to that published in the last three years. It uses information from scopers to produce entry and journal specific indicators. SJR is published in Simargo and journal country rank reports. So it also provides this nice visual that you can see there, the Q status. So it makes it a quick and easy reference if you're looking for journals that fit within the OASIC scheme. Okay. Now, Fahin mentioned before about the Altmetrics Book Marklet. So you saw Fahin give a demonstration of the Altmetrics Book Marklet. And I found an article just before that had even more. So I'm going to open that up in a second. But you can download the Altmetric Book Marklet, which is free. And that will then give you the Altmetric information for any article as you're looking for it. So it's really handy to know and really handy to use. So I will share my screen with you again and I'll show you. What sort of research output should you aim at producing each year? Alex, that's a really good question to posit to a supervisor. It differs depending on what sort of stage you're at with your research career. So you've recently committed a systematic review for publication. Are you thinking of going on to a research project? Yeah, Alex, while you're thinking about it. Sorry, yeah. So I would. But I may not be working as an academic. I might sort of work for something like CSIRO or something like that or DFAT or in research. Yeah. So when you say what sort, sorry, yeah. Yeah, I think possibly working at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and research there. Okay. Well, if that was the case, I'd be looking at what the researchers who work there are producing and not to be worried about producing a certain number of research, but rather looking at your quality and definitely within the fields that DFAT are researching and publishing in. So if you were worried about a specific number, for example, or if you wanted to check the veracity of a type of research that you were doing, that's when I would make contact with DFAT or with the department that you're all wanting to publish in and asking that question of them directly. Also, I think a lot of their research is internal. Like, they don't actually publish in journals. Their research is basically classified. Yeah, yeah. It's going to have some sort of an effect on your orchid rankings, isn't it? Because you're not going to be able to do that. It will have an impact on the findability of your research and definitely that sounds like more of an interview question that you can ask them. You know, at the end of an interview where they ask if you have any questions that would be the kind of perfect question to ask there. Okay, so I'm going to share my screen with you. Sorry, did you have anything else? Normally, say you've been working for five or ten years in research, what would be expected of a researcher to publish every year? I mean, I know lecturers are extremely, you know, academics are extremely busy. How do they manage to do the research? Obviously, they become better at it and quicker at it, more efficient. Because I mean, we're doing, we do a PhD to start with and we do probably one or you know, three at the most publications in four years. But after that, what should we, what would we expect in say after about four or five years? It depends on where you move to academic wise. I mentioned before that some disciplines, the research output is very, it's countered differently. So say you're working in a humanities area, for example, numbers aren't so important. It's more about the quality of the kind of research that you're doing. Not to say that numbers don't mean quality. What I mean is the research outputs are different themselves. So if you're moving into a more science, maths, psychology, that kind of like medicine, that's where the number of publications and more importantly the quality of the publication matters. So when it comes down, it's really hard to give you an answer when it comes to how many papers you will be guided, if you like, by your supervisory team when you move into an academic position. And sometimes the numbers of papers will be built into your work contract. And I can't speak to that because I'm not an academic myself. We work with academics. I hear anecdotally about the research that people are doing. We don't hear numbers though. Does that make sense, Alex? Yeah, I guess there's a lot of factors that involve that can affect what your research output is going to be. So it just depends on what you choose to do with your career. And yeah, it's more, if you want to be an academic you probably end up, they're probably wanting you to do more research. Whereas if you're working for say DFAT or a public sector department, they'd expect for you to research in the areas that they want to have information on. So it could be one thing that lasts for five years or for a lifetime even. Okay, yeah, thank you for your questions. I'll just keep moving on because we have limited time today but yeah, please feel free to pop any questions you have in the chat or feel free to ask as we go along to. Great questions. Thank you, Alex. Okay, so the screen that I'm on now shows an article. I just wanted to show you again how the Altmetrics Book Marthlet can help you find information. So you can see at the top of my screen here I have Altmetric It. I'm going to click on that for this article that I found earlier. Here's one I prepared earlier. Hopefully it works. Works for me before. Okay, I'm going to scroll back and we'll go again. Okay, so again this is just an article that I found on Google. Click on Altmetric It and there we go. So you can see that this article has 790, it has a score of 793 which means it's had all of these different interactions. So it was picked up by 92 news outlets and they're the red part of the donut here. It was blogged by five people and that's the yellow part of the donut. It was referenced in one policy source. So this is where you can start to use this kind of information to show the impact of your research. So especially if you see something like it was referenced in a policy source, it was picked up in a not news outlet, it was blogged by people, it was referenced in Wikipedia pages, it's on a video. So this is your piece of research. I would be looking through all of these different mentions if I was you to see how it's been used and then to include that when you're writing about your research and impact that it's having. So say you are needing to write a statement about the impact of your research, this is how you do it. So you use this information that you can find on Altmetric Book Market. Okay, so moving right along so if we go power point presentation. Right, so next we've got plum X via Scopus. This is another research metric that you can use. I'm just trying to write. Alright, so plum X via Scopus. So plum X has a nice little much like the Altmetric diagram. You have this little plum X if you like diagram and this shows you again the different kinds of interactions that your article has had. So a nice little these are alternative metrics. So they're not metrics that are captured anywhere else. They're metrics that are still important because they show that they're outside of if you like the academia. They're showing the external reach of your research. So you can see here from this particular article which you can this is in Scopus. You access this by going to view all metrics down the bottom here. That will then show you the plum X diagram which you can then click on to see all of the different information about that metric. So you can see that this metric has been shown. It's been cited 350 times. It's been sweated about 143 times. It's been shared over 400 times. Three times has been mentioned in policy. So again that's a big one that you can talk about with your research. You can talk about how your research is having real world impact because it's been used in policy documents. Things like that. That's where these are very very powerful metrics for you to use. Okay. Now the H index as promised let's explain and demystify the H index for you. So what is the H index? A H index is just a numerical indicator that's based on the number of citations per each publication. It's the number of papers that have been cited at least that many times. So what that means is to have a H index of 10 you would have 10 papers that have been cited at least 10 times. The larger the H index is it means you have a range of papers with that many citations rather than one or two papers that have very high citations. So if you like it's bringing your papers more into average. People get very hung up on it but it's not that useful if you're a new researcher and it can be misleading for older researchers as well. So you can find your H index on Scopus on Web of Science and Google Scholar. But again with Google Scholar data I would be very, very careful to make sure that the data that Google Scholar is showing is actually yours. So with any of your research identifiers it's important that you make sure the data that they have in there is true and correct for you. Okay, there are problems with the H index however. The H index is open to manipulation. Okay, you can skew it to be how you want it to show. So for those of you here, you can retrieve your H index from Web of Science from Scopus and from Google Scholar. You can use housings, publish or perish to help you mine and improve your data on Google Scholar. Be aware however that the metric is only as good as the data that informs it. So you need to check weed and clean the data for whichever program you're using. So I mentioned there Google Scholar. So follow good identity and hygiene practices when it comes to your research. The H index is used to evaluate research in a field and it's also a common part of job applications for academic promote positions. But these numbers much like any of the metrics we talked about today don't tell anything about the quality of your research on their own. They are used as metrics that you can use to colour your research. So the two tools that can be used when calculating your H index are Scopus or Web of Science. You can use Google Scholar but be careful that your Google Scholar data is correct. So there's a QR code there on the screen as well that links through to the limitations of bibliometrics, an article that you might like to read. So as with any of the limitations there about the H index I would add with that a caveat. So any time that you write about any of your research metrics include your why. Why you've included them and include information that is supplementary to the numbers as well. So it's got there if you write about your H index include how you calculated it and add there include other things that show the other research and the impact of your research. Okay so if I had mentioned before the read and publish agreements that CDU have signed we've got them with CSIRO, Wiley, OUP, Springer and Wiley. I've mentioned Wiley there twice. OASIC the open access support for increased citation scheme is also important to know and you also have the ability to place a pre or a post print of your research into CDU research into pure. Why is that important? That's important because if you care about the accessibility of your research you should be adding previous versions of your research into the institutional repository that can make them free even if free and open for anyone to read even if your published work isn't because universities can host copies of those versions of your research on the repository and make them available for anyone to read. So there's a link there at the bottom of the page too about the read and publish agreements if you haven't checked them out they're super important but open access is a particular love of mine so this is why this screen is here and especially to encourage you to add a pre or a post print of your research into the repository as well. If you have any questions about that feel free to come and see me send us an email. I'm more than happy to have a chat with you about that as well. Okay and much like publishing and Marfaen already covered this beware of predatory publishers who charge you to publish and then lock your research away. Anyone who has a unreliable, unclear peer review process that likely means they don't have one so beware of that if anyone reaches out to you and asks you to publish with them especially if they're being overly flattering be wary of that. Check using any tools that you can so things like Beals List or its Web in SJR check the quality of someone who's come reaching out to you and potential publishers before you publish with them and then use the think check tool as well that you can use to make sure that you're publishing with a reputable publisher. And we're getting close to the end now and thinking about writing and about writing about your research so here's how you can use the numbers. And the way your numbers can be used to be impactful so it's super important especially for early career researchers to contextualize your research. Create a narrative that tells the story about you as a researcher and your research. Okay here in story we'll convey the reach of your research better than the numbers alone. So what do you notice about this particular narrative and it's probably pointed out best if you read the bottom narrative first so if you're reading a narrative and all they want to talk about is their H index, massive red flag. The top narrative or description of a person's research doesn't mention the H index overtly. The H index is mentioned in the last sentence and you know that because you know when a researcher has a certain number of papers that have been cited a certain number of times their H index is that number. So the H index for Dr ABC is 5 but he hasn't had to say that because he's been talking about the impact of his research so publishing in peer-reviewed journals the fact that he's published in, deep to do I'm trying to think you can see that there. It's called impactful writing about your research. Okay so from final points do metrics matter? So yes they do. To you as a researcher they matter but they're not the be-all and end-all. Using altmetrics and finding otherwise your research is useful is important too. It's important to remember that the numbers on their own can be manipulated so remember to place your research into context to prove relevancy and to show that your research matters. Remember too that you can't accurately compare yourself to another researcher in an unrelated discipline or at a different stage of their career. It isn't fair and it places more stress on you so focus instead on your publishing journey and publishing well. Be aware that different sources of bibliometrics gather and update information at different times and stages. So what I mean by that is your scopus indexing might happen out of turn with something you've published so you do need to check them regularly so to make sure that your profiles are up to date and correct. If you're in the arts and humanities your work can't be measured in the same way as scientific fields. Therefore your measure of quality will be different and to get an idea of what matters your best is working amongst your peers with your supervisor and looking what's happening out in your field. Be aware of predatory publishers publishing for the sake of publishing and choose collaborators carefully. Think about what you want to achieve, read any agreements carefully before you sign and seek legal advice or the advice of a professional academic librarian if you are in any doubt. Social media is fabulous for anyone at any stage of your research journey and it will increase your scope, reach and will increase your citations even from people who are disagreeing with you. So get your name out there legitimately. Use internal news channels such as CDU news, Yammer or college meetings. Look for opportunities to present at conferences, network, write a piece for your professional body volunteer associations in your field of impact or influence. Write for the conversation. Use social media like an influencer because you are. Tweet, share on LinkedIn and send it out on Facebook. Use email other interested colleagues at other institutions and look for influential experts in your field of interest, research and study and reach out to request to collaborate. You never know where that might get you. Any person, future supervisors, possible co-collaborators and future employers can and will look up your metrics. So you need to value add and place the metrics into context and you get to tell this story about you and your work. So I highly recommend looking up that URL for the Choose Your Own Adventure Academic Publishing Guide that was published by a previous colleague of mine at a university down south and it is amazing and will take you through your research journey. So if you're in doubt at all by anything that we've talked about today or in the future just ask, reach out. So reach out to the Office of Research and Innovation here at CDU. Research to more senior established staff in your college reach out to your supervisor, to colleagues and lastly by no means least librarians. We're here to help you. So here's a page of further reading. How can an early career researcher make their research sound impressive? That's a great question, Alex. And one that I would highly encourage you to use Altmetrics. So use the Altmetrics to look for the impact of your research. You can note any valuable feedback that you've gotten and you can put that in any applications that you are making. Certainly keep an eye on the Altmetrics. Make sure, look up the information about the journal where you've published as well. Make sure that you mention their SJR. Make sure that you mention any numbers they've got. If you need some help with finding those out as well or anything more in depth, you can also reach out to us here in the library. I'd also be talking to your supervisor as well. So to get their opinion on how you can make your first couple of publications really shine. Okay. And yeah, thanks, Bernie. Okay, so this is now the last slide. So I'll point you in the direction of the QR code on the page. So you can scan that QR code. It will take you through to the Librarians page where you can find information about how to contact us. You can also see our email address at the top. Ask the library at cdu.edu.au That will take you through to the Librarian team. Research outputs at cdu.edu.au, research.outputs I should say, is the email address for the Office of Research and Innovation and specifically for any queries you have about the OASIC. You can also see that I've included my references there. And I think that's it for now. So there's five minutes or four minutes to go. Does anyone have any questions or comments? I'll just stop the recording, but I will stay around for the next four minutes or so if anyone has any questions.
