The discussion, demonstrations, and Q&A will focus on identifying subject databases, making use of review articles and citation tracking options, creating alerts to stay updated on publications, using Google Scholar options such as links to UCF databases and researcher profiles. An overview of library services for graduate students will also be provided. Please bring your laptop if you would like to set up options during the session.

Mendeley Citation Manager
Like other reference or citation management tools Mendeley helps you organize and manage sources. Mendeley’s free version offers 2 GB of web space (approx. 5,000 articles) and an option to create one private group with up to three members for project collaborations. In addition to common features, Mendeley also allows you to annotate PDFs and join public groups based on your research interests. This session will demonstrate how to save citations and PDFs in Mendeley, use the Word plugin to add in-text citations and generate a bibliography, work with citation styles, and apply strategies for organizing sources. Please bring your laptop if you would like to set up Mendeley options during the session (MAC, WIN, iPad, iPhone, Android, web versions).

Presentation Skills
Does the idea of giving a presentation freak you out? I have good news and bad news. Bad news – presentations are unavoidable in your courses and in your future career path. Good news – presentation skills are something you can easily improve! This 45-minute session will provide some tips, tricks, and ideas for how to become a better presenter. There will be time at the end for Q&A (and to practice speaking to a crowd!)

Optimizing Your Online Presence
Join us for this two in one workshop to learn more about evaluating research impacts and managing your online research profile.
Part 1: Citation Metrics & Measuring Impact
Citation metrics provide quantitative data used to evaluate the impact of a scholar’s research. Several methods and tools exist to assist scholars with obtaining information about citation counts and impact data, such as ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, and other citation counting tools by discipline. Metrics also assist scholars with identifying key journals and notable researchers in their field.
Part 2: Managing Researcher Profiles In part two of the workshop we’ll discuss why it’s important to develop an online profile as a researcher, how to promote your work and connect to other researchers, and look at several sites in depth. See what ORCID, LinkedIn, Research Gate, Academia.edu, PIVOT, Plum Analytics, and Google Scholar can do for you.
