Funding agencies as well as Academic institutions have placed an increased emphasis on productive interdisciplinary collaborations between research teams. However, identifying and reaching out to potential collaborators can be an intimidating task, especially outside of ones scholarly community. In this workshop we will use tools such as Incites, Web of Science, Pivot, Grants.gov, Research Gate, and more to identify potential collaborators for research. We will also review some skills and factors to take into consideration for successful Research collaborations.

In this interactive session, participants will be able to pitch their podcasting idea and then workshop it with other participants to further refine and polish the idea.

Digital text analysis creates opportunities for distant reading that discern patterns of word frequency, word collocations, and the emergence of new words, as a few examples. Participants in the workshop will receive an overview of digital text analysis concepts and terminology, as well as strategies for undertaking straightforward teaching assignments that incorporate accessible digital tools. Our principal tool of exploration will be Voyant Tools. Bring your thoughts, ideas, and queries to this interactive workshop.

Have you ever received an email inviting you to publish in a scholarly journal? Have you been unsure of the quality of that journal – perhaps they are a new start-up, and not yet known, or perhaps the journal is produced by a predatory publisher looking to take advantage of authors Recently, it has become harder and harder to distinguish the trustworthy journals from predatory journals. Predatory publishers and journals may disseminate plagiarized materials, or material lacking in quality control and lacking peer review all while charging the author a fee.

In this interactive session, participants will be able to pitch their podcasting idea and then workshop it with other participants to further refine and polish the idea.

Data visualizations tell stories and make arguments through data and charts, graphs, and maps. This workshop will discuss digital storytelling using visualizations and review a selection of available resources for creating visualizations.

You have your research idea, have already started thinking about data collection, and now it’s time to think about where to publish your findings. Choosing the correct journal, can mean higher visibility and impact of your work but which Journal to select isn’t always an obvious choice. In this workshop we will review some of criteria to consider when selecting a Journal. We will also use tools/databases such as IncItes, Ulrich’s, and Directory of Open Access Journals to help gather information about the Journal’s main theme, frequency of publication, availability, and impact factor.

One thing is for sure- systematic reviews and evidence synthesis projects involve a lot of data! Join us for this workshop to learn about different data management techniques to help keep your project organized and on-track.

In this 1-hour online workshop, we’ll share different ways film can be incorporated into your teaching as an interdisciplinary pedagogical resource.
