This half-day workshop is designed to introduce postgraduate researchers in the early stages of their research to academic publishing. The significance of successfully publishing your academic work can hardly be underestimated; but what is actually involved in this process? How to develop material for publication successively through a process of conference presentations, drafts and successful publication in a peer-reviewed journal?

This workshop will provide an introduction to the publishing process and the key points of decision-making therein for you to develop an understanding of existing expectations, timelines as well as what choices over form, genre and site of publication need to be made. Employing such understanding will provide a basis to develop not only material for publication but also to formulate a personal publication strategy around your research interests, potential readership and institutional frameworks.

The workshop aims are

• understanding the processes for developing material for publication from informal presentations to final journal articles or other contributions
• support in your being able to make informed decisions over different genres, forms and sites for academic publications
• the development of an awareness of time-scale as well as specific institutional dimensions as they apply to the publication process and personal career development therein
• introducing the importance of a personal publication strategy

Monday 28^th October

Enrolment Guidelines

Intended for postgraduate researchers who are currently writing or have already written an article for a peer-reviewed journal, this half-day workshop is designed to explore in some depth the processes of how publishing in a peer-reviewed journal is negotiated: how to select and target a journal? how to negotiate and respond to referees and editors?

The successful publication of one's research in academic peer-reviewed journals has become a key element in the course of postgraduate research and moving towards an independent research career.

The session will explore the potential forms of text for publication across academic journals; the decision-making process from choosing a journal for submission to final acceptance, paying particular attention to the dreaded (and common) reject/resubmit decision.

The workshop aims are

• the development of an awareness of time-scale as well as specific institutional dimensions as they apply to the publication process and personal career development therein
• the identification of needs and resources available and required for developing a successful publication strategy
• understanding the importance of 'becoming a scholar' of the relevant academic journals, their particular profiles and differences, as well as different text formats found in such journals
• responding to 'reject & resubmit' as common response to article submission

(If you are looking for an introduction to academic publishing, please see the workshop Introduction to academic publishing: form, process and planning)

This half day workshop will explore experiences and models of postgraduate research supervision with a view to identifying the challenges and opportunities which supervision poses for research students. The relationship between student and supervisor is the key working relationship in postgraduate research. At its most effective, supervision creates the conditions for successful research, whilst problems and difficulties in this relationship can have a significant negative impact. Rather than merely considering supervision as a relationship, we will focus on supervision as a learning process and consider how negotiating this process will enhance not only your learning experience but also your professional development.

In a mix of group work, discussion, and presentation, the workshop will cover

• Different models of supervision; institutional requirement, managed relationship and learning process
• Different roles and relationships in supervision
• Moving between dependent, autonomous and interdependent spaces in supervision
• Identifying and maximising potential for professional development through the supervision process

Although you might not feel you are in the position of a leader at the moment, you may be using leadership skills as part of your role as a researcher. This could mean mentoring others or managing relationships and projects with collaborators, sponsors or your supervisor.  Many of you will also aspire to be leaders in your future career and will be seeking to understand how to motivate and inspire others, confront difficult problems, ask the right questions and come up with creative solutions. 

Throughout the Postgraduate Leadership Programme, you will hear from experienced tutors and speakers from a range of backgrounds on what they think it takes to be a successful leader and influence others towards a common goal or purpose.  A key part of the programme is the consideration of your natural strengths and weaknesses, personal values and the style of leadership that suits you best. 

You will also work with other researchers on a relevant project to put some of the ideas from the workshops into practice.  Successful completion of the programme assessment will enable participants to gain accreditation from the Chartered Management Institute.

You must be available to attend all four sessions sessions, plus a short induction, as well as participating  in the group project (involving 2-3hr work between sessions).  We recognise this is a large time commitment and therefore your participation should be discussed with your supervisor.  You will also be asked to provide an email from your supervisor, confirming that you have discussed your plans to attend this course.

3 x 1/2-day First Year Series Workshops:

Identifying and communicating early findings, achievements and problems in the early stages of a PhD.

The three half-day workshops can be taken individually or as a series of three.

Three half-day workshops for first year PhD students and Masters students who are intending to continue onto PhD research.

Six months into your PhD, the practicalities of postgraduate research are becoming more apparent: managing submission dates, supervisors, progression reports and an ever-expanding field of research as you find out more about the shape that your actual PhD research is taking.

As the annual progression review is coming closer and focuses your mind, this workshop is intended to help you to identify and communicate achievements, preliminary findings and problems to fellow students, supervisors and other researchers. It will also examine the concepts of originality, focus and rigour of PhD research.

These workshops can be taken either as a series of three or simply as one or two on their own. They all use the annual progression report and presentation at the end of the first year of a PhD to focus in on some of the difficult areas that you are likely to come across in the wider course of the PhD:

• ensuring focus and comprehensiveness of a suitable PhD topic (Workshop 1)
• grappling with originality in (PhD) research (Workshop 1)
• managing complex writing projects:planning, organisation and monitoring (Workshop 2)
• negotiating the PhD process: teamwork that is often invisible (Workshops 2 and 3)
• communicating your research to supervisors, researchers and others (Workshop 3)

Based on your actual PhD research, we will work in a series of exercises and tasks to identify common problems and explore in discussion how these can be addressed.

Thursday 13^th February (13:00 - 16:30)

Workshop 1:   Originality and boundaries of research

Thursday 27^th  February (13:00 - 16:30)

Postgraduate research as any other knowledge production is by its very nature generative, productive and creative. This half-day workshop explores creativity and innovation in academic research: their relevance for your own development as researcher as well as within the institutional context. Specifically, it focuses on the use of creativity for building confidence, generating motivation and developing an ‘edge’  throughout the postgraduate research and beyond.

By linking the presence of creativity, innovation as well as motivation to different stages and spaces of the PhD process, the workshop aims to demystify the notion of ‘creativity’ and establish it as something that happens in everyday research to be harnessed for a variety of benefits.

Through a mixture of group and individual work, discussion and presentation, the session will cover the following:

• The characteristics of the ‘creative researcher’ and creativity within everyday processes;
• Recognising different types of creativity throughout the various stages of the PhD and channeling these for both process orientated and specific ends;
• The relationship between creativity and control within the PhD process, and ways to implement and manage creative research strategies;
• This also includes developing awareness of risk and rewards of creative approaches as well as institutional barriers.

Risky business: a unique insight into pharmaceutical R&D

Sharpen your commercial awareness and learn about risk taking and strategic thinking through an interactive boardgame which sees you taking on the role of a pharmaceutical executive team.  

Pharma companies make some of the biggest gambles of any industry: multimillion, even multibillion, dollar investments on a new drug. These investments can take more than a decade to play out. Scientific and technical barriers produce a high failure rate: Only one in ten new Phase I drugs make it to the market.

This workshop gives researchers the chance to:

• Gain an insight into R&D and business development processes
• Experience the highs and lows of working in a team to negotiate deals and licensing agreements
• Consider how projects and deals can be evaluated against industry benchmarks and how this information can form part of the strategic planning process

Research students and postdocs from all levels are welcome. It is likely to be most relevant to researchers in scientific, medical, business or legal disciplines.
