Dear All,
The Department of Library and Information Services has organized for online training on Increasing Research Visibility - ORCID, Google Scholar & others Impact tools.
The training is scheduled on the 23rd November 2022. 10.00 am-12.00 pm
ORCID is a system that provides persistent digital identifiers that distinguish researchers from each other hence connecting researchers to their research activities, while Google Scholar supports authors in setting up a profile page that lists their publications and citation metrics. In addition, social metrics will be discussed
The aim of the training is to:
·Sensitize researchers on tools to measure research visibility, performance and impact
Support researchers to register and use research visibility tools including and not limited to Orcid and Google Scholar.
·Showcase their research to enhance university visibility, ranking and collaboration.
At the end of the training, participants will have knowledge on how to register and manage their Orcid and Google Scholar accounts and other research performance tools. Some of the terms that will be discussed and demonstrated include: Orcid ID, metrics, social media/altmetrics, citation, H-Index, dimensions, Google Scholar and impact factor
The training targets Post-Graduate Students & Researchers.
For those who will not be able to attend the training, we will provide a link to the recorded session on the Library website on the following link - https://uonlibrary.uonbi.ac.ke/basic-page/library-guides-presentations.
