Research impact for Education: a self-help guide

UOM Elements researcher data

 

A way to find a summary of the most prominent research output and impact trends is via one or more of the many researcher dashboards. Ensure you have access to the University of Melbourne specific dashboards (Elements and Researcher Dashboard) and also look at commercial researcher dashboards. This way a lot that is available gets harvested and brought to your attention.

 

Dashboards discussed:
