What would YOU want to know about creating an online presence during candidature?
So, if you were attending a talk called 'Creating an online presence during candidature', what exactly would you want to know? Rather than this being some vague question, it's a very real one, as I've agreed to talk on this topic at next week's Research Careers Week for research students. I've got some ideas - how to make connections with researchers using blogs; how to use your own blog as a promotional and networking tool for you and your work; the importance of trying to publish in open-access online journals; and a quick overview of MyResearchSpace - but I'm sure there are other obvious or interesting things I've not thought of! So, if you've got any suggestions, ideas or the like, please leave a comment here! Thanks!
By the way, the session will take place between 1.00 and 2.00pm on Thursday, 13th September in the Tattersall Lecture Theatre. For a programme of everything else going in Research Career Week, check out the PSA's website.
