Nature Masterclasses Live Webinar - Promoting Your Research Online on April 15 & 16
Dear Doctoral Candidates,
How can I boost the impact of my research to reach a wider audience? How can I take the first steps to reach out to the media about my work? What do my paper’s altmetrics tell me about the reach of my paper? – If you are wondering about these questions, experts of Nature Masterclasses will provide you with answers in the upcoming webinar "Promoting Your Research Online" on 15 and 16 April.
Publishing a scientific paper is an essential stage in the research process. By submitting your paper to a scholarly journal, you may gain feedback from peers that improves and validates your research, ensuring other researchers trust your findings. But while publishing your research is a critical milestone, it’s only the beginning of your paper’s journey. To maximize its impact, you need to actively promote and share your work with the world.
Nature Masterclasses’ new course, “Maximising the Impact of Your Paper” is designed to help you navigate the steps beyond publication, by teaching you how to promote your paper and gain greater exposure for your research. Why should you take this course? Watch the video and learn more! The course is available to all members of Heidelberg University via the Graduate Academy's institutional subscription.
In the upcoming corresponding webinar you have the opportunity to join experts in scientific publishing metrics and communications, Lisa Boucher (Press Manager, Springer Nature) and Euan Adie (Founder and Director, Overton), as they discuss strategies to promote your research online and examine how to track your paper’s reach to ensure it’s having the desired impact.
During this webinar, they will answer your questions and share practical advice to help you:
- Overcome common challenges researchers experience when promoting their work online
- Distil key messages from your paper, facilitating your discussions with the media
- Understand the different metrics your paper receives once it is published and what they mean for reaching your audience.
Please note that any questions should be submitted in advance via the registration form. While they will do their best to answer as many of your questions as they can, in the interest of time, they may only be able to cover questions of common interest, so please keep your questions relevant to the topic of promoting and tracking the impact of your research online.
