Library Series for Grad Students: Boost your research success with Web of Science and Dataverse:

Boost your research success with Web of Science and Dataverse:

1. Gain insights into the research landscape:

The Web of Science indexes the world's academic publications (75 million records!). Learn how to use it as a “RADAR” to look into the scientific literature, revealing the research front in your field and what the hot topics are. See how to use the Web of Science to leverage the world's research networks in discovering:

• Which researchers/universities/countries are having the most impact in my field?
• What funding agencies provide most of the grants in my field?
• Who is collaborating with whom in a field?

2. Make your data searchable:

Sharing your research data is increasingly a requirement for publishing in many journals. McMaster Research Data Management (RDM) Services supports your data sharing needs. We can help researchers select a trusted data repository, including McMaster Dataverse (our institutional data repository) which is indexed in Google Dataset Search and other online databases.

RDM is for everyone, across all disciplines. Research data are anything we build from to conduct research, science, scholarship, and creative practice. Data take many forms: spreadsheets, interviews, code, fieldnotes, software, images, and more. Whether you’re considering data sharing as a part of scholarly communication, contributing to collective knowledge, or looking for new collaborations, learn more about RDM!
