EGIS (Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society): PhD students

Literature Searching, Citing & Referencing and Reference Management are three key areas of getting started with your research.  As part of Research Futures programme for Heriot-Watt researchers, I deliver a set of online training on:

• Literature Searching (Domain A)
• Citing and Referencing (Domain C)

The online courses cover such things as:

• the most appropriate resources to use for finding literature (e.g. theses, books, journal articles, standards, professional guidance etc)
• using our databases for more systematic and complex searching
• saving time by setting up alerts
• saving time by using EndNote for reference management
• what to do if you can’t access the full-text

Feedback on these courses is always positive. For further details of all their other courses, see:
