2nd FASS Faculty Research Visibility Workshop

Presented by NUS Libraries and the Singapore Research Nexus

The FASS Research Visibility Workshop is being held once again in collaboration with NUS Libraries! The workshop is aimed at FASS faculty members and graduate students and will cover Open Access, ScholarBank@NUS, Academia.edu and ResearchGate.

Venue: Training Room (Central Library, Level 6)

Time:     9:00 am – 11:30 am

Date:     21 September 2015 (Monday)

As an academic, are you frustrated with journal paywalls that limit readers’ access to your work? ScholarBank@NUS may be your answer! The institutional repository of NUS is fully indexed by Google Scholar and all publications in that repository will show up on Google Scholar searches.

Join us at the 2nd FASS Faculty Research Visibility Workshop to find out how you can use ScholarBank@NUS, and other academic social networking sites such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate to reach out to a wider audience, thereby increasing your research visibility.

This workshop will include a hands-on session for you to learn how to set up accounts in and submit your publications to Academia.edu and ResearchGate.
