# Visualizing Your Research Impact

The ability to create effective visualizations of your research impact is a valuable skill when competing for grants, awards, and attention in a crowded research landscape. In this workshop we will explore best practices for generating simple, eye-catching graphics to communicate your impact from a variety of perspectives (from citation rates to collaboration networks to media attention).

Attendees will learn how to: 1) Generate ready-made impact visualizations within a variety of bibliometric tools at McMaster. 2) Utilize raw bibliometric data to create custom visualizations within a variety of tools (Excel, VosViewer, Datawrapper). 3) Effectively incorporate research impact visualizations into reports, grant applications, and award nominations.

# Electronic Lab Notebooks

This beginner-level session introduces participants to Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs), covering common functions, ELN options, and key research considerations. This workshop will provide guidance on selecting and implementing ELNs for both personal use and within research groups.

By the end of this workshop, participants will understand common features and functions of ELNs as well as the key considerations and tradeoffs involved in ELN selection. Participants will be better equipped to evaluate ELN options and select and implement ELNs to suite their unique research needs.

# Optimizing Research Impact: Establishing and Maintaining Researcher Profiles

The ability to effectively track and express your research impact is an essential skill for today’s researchers. Profile tools like ORCID, Google Scholar, and McMaster Experts provide a valuable space to showcase your research outputs (from publications to datasets to creative works) and enable efficient workflows for demonstrating your impact. In this webinar, we will guide researchers through the process of establishing researcher profiles: from initial set-up, to efficient maintenance; to the generation of basic impact reports.

Attendees will learn how to: 1) Select the most appropriate research profile(s) for their needs. 2) Automate the initial population and maintenance of their research profile(s). 3) Generate basic research impact reports using profile data.
