Editor's Notes
- 1. Are you using technology to benefit your research? Or is digital scholarship leaving you behind? This session will present range of non-electronic but primarily electronic resources used in academia. This will include technologies for finding and organising research materials and presenting your research. By the end of the session you will have an idea of what these technologies can do for you and which are most appropriate for your research. You will find out how to get started on using your chosen suite of technologies to support your research needs. 2. Research tools can be used at every stage of the academic research process. Whatever stage you are at with your PhD, there will be a tool/technology which could help you. It is also part of a new academic skill set that is becoming increasingly expected. The tools are contributing to new academic behaviours. While there is still a place for ‘traditional’ channels of collaboration and dissemination, e.g. face-to-face networking at conferences, peer-reviewed journal articles, there has been a dramatic increase in online networking, finding and reading research electronically, online conferencing etc. Postgraduate students need to be aware of these skills/tools whether they are keen to enter academia or not. Research activity (and many areas of work) is now mobile, social, online, collaborative, and instant. 3. How many of you have smartphones? These devices are definitely tools that could or do, should represent your research identity. And the fact that research is very continuous process, requiring a lot of thinking and most important documenting your ideas.
