Research Spotlight series for 2020
Figshare: Publish, Share and Discover Research Data
Every Thursday in May, 1 pm-1.30 pm
Online
Figshare allows RMIT researchers to publish and promote their research, the ability to mint DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) for citation purposes, and use the built-in metrics that will assist in gauging research impact.
You can upload data in numerous forms, from spreadsheets and raw code to larger audio and video files. Figshare also lets you create rich metadata to aid in discoverability, provide funding details, and choose your own licence for use and reuse of your work.

Research integrity during the COVID-19 pandemic

The value of research is dependent on research integrity. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how research can be conducted. It has introduced new stressors as well as incentives that may compromise research integrity. We are beginning to understand the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on trustworthy research – and how we can conduct responsible research in the face of it. This presentation aims to cover:
- What is research integrity? Why is it important?
- The research integrity landscape during COVID-19
- Changing research directions including pathways for ethical research
- Responsible research about the COVID-19 pandemic including ways to ensure rigour and the rapid sharing of results
- Responsible research during the COVID-19 pandemic including advice on remote supervision, graduate research and data management
