Help promoting your research?

Contact Health Sciences Faculty Liaison Librarians , Belinda Norman or Kate Stanton to see if we can help raise your profile by making information about your research findable in Google, and in Research Data Australia (http://services.ands.org.au/home/orca/rda/ ), a national showcase of research. Following is some information on the project.


Seeding the Commons Project.

The federally funded Seeding the Commons project will help establish data management planning processes to support storage, identification, discovery and, where appropriate, sharing of primary research data. Partners include Research Portfolio, Library and ICT.

Project Activities:
· Description of research data collections for discovery on the web
· Creation of a data management planning tutorial
· Website providing research data management support
· Guidelines to support research data management

Project staff will work to deliver the following benefits:
· Information about researchers and projects will be findable in Google, increasing profile and collaboration opportunities.
· Increased impact through data citation.
· Reduced risk of data loss through data management storage and support.
· Establishment of ongoing research data management services.

We'd like to interview you, in order to describe your data collections for discovery on the web. For more information, Contact Health Sciences Faculty Liaison Librarian, Belinda Norman or Kate Stanton.
