Achieving research impact

Principal speaker

Elizabeth George & Prithviraj Chattopadhyay

Professors George and Chattopadhyay will discuss the following questions with illustrations from their own research, as well as impactful research from well-known scholars, during this seminar (suitable for HDRs and ECRs):

 

  1. How do we judge research to be impactful?
  2. What are different ways in which we might arrive at an interesting (and potentially impactful) research question?
  3. How do we design a study that helps us to examine that question systematically?
  4. How can our writing help to increase the impact of our work and how do we respond to reviewers?
  5. What are some journals to be considered as potential publishing outlets?
