I joined 51³Ô¹Ïapp in February 2015, after working for a number of years in the voluntary sector in a variety of information, project and development roles.
As a member of 51³Ô¹Ïapp’s Research Services Directorate, I also work closely with Library and Learning Services, to implement 51³Ô¹Ïapp’s policies on open access and research data management. My role involves training and supporting researchers in making their publications and data open access. Currently I am project-managing the development of 51³Ô¹Ïapp’s research data management infrastructure and support.
Working together with colleagues in Library and Learning Services, we have updated 51³Ô¹Ïapp’s Open Access policy, and put in place a training, support and reporting service for 51³Ô¹Ïapp researchers and management on open access, including funder and REF compliance.
