This is the second of a three-part series presented by the Library as part of International Open Access Week 2026. Learn more about Open Access Week here.

Right now the academic landscape is shifting at a pace that is almost impossible to afford or keep up with. Let’s focus on what you can control. 

Join the Library as we introduce you to the ins and outs of good research data management. If you’re new to your research project and wondering how you can make your data more FAIR – or would just like to know what that means! - this session will provide you with easy definitions, best practice guidelines, and handy tips that will help you make sense of things, no matter the nature of your research. 

In the second half of this session, learn how to make research profiles work for you. Get a brief introduction to ResearchNow, ORCiD and Scopus IDs, and discover why dedicating a little time to your own personal researcher data might just be your smartest move yet. 

Presented by the Library's Research Engagement team.
