π The Collaborative Library where we can all collaborate to share knowledge
ποΈ Are you passionate about open and impactful research? Looking for a
platform that connects researchers, students, and the broader audience? The look
no further!
π’ Nick Sheppard and Ged Hall, had the privilege of speaking with Anja
Harrison, the Chief Executive of the Collaborative Library, on our latest
episode of Research Culture Uncovered podcast. The Collaborative Library
is revolutionising research communication and opening doors for students
and researchers to publish their lay summaries, making academic knowledge
accessible to all.
π Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
1. Bridging the gap: The Collaborative Library aims to bridge the gap between existing research networks and efforts. They provide a dynamic hub where researchers can engage with the broader community and expand their impact network. Imagine connecting with like-minded individuals globally who are passionate about your research!
2. Empowering students: The Collaborative Library offers an innovative approach to skills development and assessment by encouraging students to produce lay summaries as a part of their coursework. By harnessing their creativity and skills, students contribute valuable content to the platform while gaining hands-on experience in science communication. Let's elevate student work to new heights!
3. Inclusivity and Open Practice: The platform promotes inclusivity, embracing diverse perspectives and co-producing research. Lay summaries can be submitted in various formats, including written, audio, and video. This immersive experience not only encourages the exploration of complex scientific concepts but also combines science with human artistic expression.
Let's make research accessible to all!
