The University Library System spends about 3 million euros per year to acquire bibliographic resources, such as journals, books, and databases. We want you to be aware of this and take advantage of it.

Wheter your scientific area is in STEM or in SSH, we will provide you with information on the main indicators, how they are used for evaluation, and how you can use them for self-assessment.

IRIS is the system used in all evaluation procedures, both internal and external. We will show you how it works and provide practical and helpful tips for its use.

We will discuss the main research evaluation activities at national level in which you will be involved (whether you like it or not) during your research career.

Publishing open access is a choice and, increasingly, a duty, as is the sharing of research data. We will address the opportunities, limitations and costs of such practices.

Keeping your author profiles on databases clean and up-to-date is essential to ensure your scientific output is properly recognized. We will show you the main issues and how you can address them.
