Researchers are the ultimate multitaskers. They have to juggle their grant writing and reviewing responsibilities with keeping up to date with new developments, promoting their research and writing up the results of their next paper – all on top of their day-to-day research tasks. This puts a lot of pressure on them, particularly if they are just starting out in their academic careers.
Learning how to do each of these things effectively can make a big difference. Elsevier’s new Publishing Campus is an online training and advice center that gives researchers free access to lectures, interactive training and professional advice on a wide range of academic-related topics. Elsevier believes in recognizing researcher efforts and for every module or seminar completed, researchers will be awarded a personalized certificate. The Campus aims to support researchers and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to do great research, publish high-impact papers and successful books, and take their field forward.
