Communicating and disseminating your work

Build up networks in the scholarly community to find potential collaborators, get feedback on your work and to tell everyone about the research you’re doing.

Creating author profiles

Distinguish your work from the work of others and make sure it’s clear to everyone what work is yours. Use tools such as ORCID and Google Scholar to create online profiles which stay with you beyond university.

Networking

Some social networking sites have been developed specifically for researchers. They allow you to ask questions, share your research, seek feedback and find job opportunities. ResearchGate and Academia are two such examples.
