Whether you will be applying for jobs or funding, you should be able to clearly discuss the impact of your research. Following on their session during Postdoctoral Appreciation Week, McMaster Librarians Jeff Demaine and Jack York are offering 1-on-1 appointments for postdoctoral researchers. Appointments are 30 minutes each, and will begin with your ORCID ID plus discussion of your research. Ask them about:
visualizing citation networks
exploring how your research field connects to others
alternative metrics like social media
building impact into your research plan
and more
Appointments will take place on Zoom, and you will receive confirmation of your appointment from postdoc@mcmaster.ca, along with details for login and whether you are meeting with Jeff or Jack. If you have any questions, please email Catherine Maybrey, coordinator of Postdoctoral Affairs and Research Training, at postdoc@mcmaster.ca.
