I joined ÂײÝÊÓƵ 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 ÂײÝÊÓƵ’s Research Services Directorate, I also work closely with Library and Learning Services, to implement ÂײÝÊÓƵ’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 ÂײÝÊÓƵ’s research data management infrastructure and support.
Working together with colleagues in Library and Learning Services, we have updated ÂײÝÊÓƵ’s Open Access policy, and put in place a training, support and reporting service for ÂײÝÊÓƵ researchers and management on open access, including funder and REF compliance.
