An introduction to using the EndNote reference management software with the OSCOLA legal referencing style. The session is led by Jackie Hanes, Research Academic Support Librarian. The session is open to law students and researchers only. It is intended for researchers (PGR students & staff), but also open to UG & PGT students.

This workshop will show you how to work with EndNote and OSCOLA:

• Install EndNote's OSCOLA referencing style files
• Import items from database searches, including law databases
• Add legislation, case law and other types of references manually
• Edit references to ensure compliance with the referencing style
• Create groups of references and organise your library
• Create citations and a bibliography within Word using your EndNote library
• Format subsequent citations (short forms and ibids), tables of authorities and the bibliography.

This session will take place online, via Microsoft Teams.

Research Data Management (RDM) is vitally important for the success of a research project and is becoming increasingly important with major funding bodies, such as UKRI, the Wellcome Trust and Horizon Europe. This session will introduce some key concepts, including the research data lifecycle, funder and institution requirements, and Data Management Plans (DMPs). We will then move on to practical advice for researchers on day-to-day RDM best practice, incorporating introductory advice on file management, data repositories and the use of AI with research data.

An introduction to research metrics, including citations, journal impact factors and altmetrics, and how they impact you, including

• Finding citation metrics, altmetrics and journal impact factors

• Use of the Scopus, Web of Science and Dimensions databases

• Limitations and responsible use of research metrics

• Consideration of artificial intelligence in measuring research

This is a hybrid session, and it will take place simultaneously online and in the Wolfson Research Exchange, Floor 3, University of Warwick Library. Register via this page whether you are planning to attend in-person or online.

This session will focus on the ways in which publishing your work as a long form scholarly work may differ to journal publication. We will look at the book publishing process and what a book proposal form looks like as well as how to approach editors with your work in the first place. The session also touches of literary agents and how they may be useful to you.

This session will cover all disciplines and subject areas but will be of particular interest to Arts and Social Sciences researchers.

By the end of the workshop you will have:

• Considered a range of different types of scholarly books that might be options for publication. Including, monographs, trade press, textbooks, edited collections and more
• Seen examples of book proposal forms and considered how you might start completing one for your project
• Been introduced to the idea of a literary agent and discussed where one might be useful to you

On the 1st October 2025, the University implemented an updated Open Access Policy that featured an Institutional Rights Retention Policy. This change in policy helps researchers retain more ownership of their own work, while aiding compliance with policies including REF, UKRI, Wellcome Trust, among many others. This session will break down what has changed, how it will benefit researchers, and how this will (and won’t) change what researchers are currently doing.

2025 was the 360th anniversary of the academic journal, representing over three and a half centuries of the dominance of the peer-reviewed journal article as a key method of disseminating research. However, in practical terms, very little has changed about the journal article in those 360 years, while at the same time we have seen significant shifts in how scholarship is practiced, as scholars and citizens participate in an increasingly digital world. Is the scholarly article, as conceived by the Royal Society in 1665, still fit for its purpose in this data-driven world, with new interdisciplinary methodologies and increasing automation?

This workshop offers researchers the space to consider what they need from the dissemination of their research and discuss ideas to fully exploit the digital environment to their advantage when publishing and promoting their work. We will consider new types of publication, the ethics and social justice of publishing as well as practical tips on how to incorporate these into your publishing strategy

This session forms the basis of the series and attendees can expect to examine publication practices across the disciplines; reflect on your motivation for publication; consider alternatives to traditional publication to encourage impact and public awareness of your work. In addition the session will cover the implications of open access and various funders’ requirements for open access when deciding on a venue for publication (including the new open access policy for REF2029).

By the end of the workshop you will have:

• Considered advantages and disadvantages of different routes to publication

• Considered copyright agreements and ways to publicise your work

• Heard about the new requirements for open access and how they might affect your choice of publication venue

• Started to develop a plan for your next publication and any promotion of your publication you will need to do afterwards
