DOCTORAL SCHOOL SUMMER CONFERENCE 2012

This year’s Doctoral School Summer Conference is taking place on Thursday 14 June from 10:30 – 21:00. The Doctoral School is inviting presentations from students at any stage of their research. The Summer Conference is an excellent opportunity for you to gain presentation experience and receive valuable feedback from research colleagues. In previous years students have found presenting at the Conference a very useful and enjoyable experience, as well as a good addition to their CV and academic transcript.

The research presented should be related to the research you are undertaking as part of your studies at the Institute. The time slot for individual papers is 25 minutes, allowing for a 15 minute presentation and up to 10 minutes of discussion. For a symposium the time slot is 75 minutes and how you organise this time is up to you. A member of academic staff will be present to offer feedback to presenters after each session.

ORGANISING A SYMPOSIUM

We would like to encourage students with similar research interests to organise a symposium. This option is designed to allow groups of 3 to 6 students to collaborate on a panel discussion or a series of related presentations on a particular topic.

CHAIRING A SESSION

We are also asking for student volunteers to chair all the sessions. If you do not feel able to present this year, chairing a session is another good way to gain conference experience and add to your CV.

ELLUMINATE LIVE!

Following previous years’ success, we will once again be offering the opportunity for interested students to give their presentations via Elluminate LIVE!, a collaborative environment that enables the delivery of live online meetings in a virtual room. To learn more about ELLUMINATE LIVE!  please log in to your Blackboard account, navigate to your course area, then click on the left hand side under “Communications”.  ELLUMINATE LIVE!  Is listed here.

SUMMER RECEPTION

As part of the Conference, the Doctoral School Summer Drinks Reception will be taking place from 19:30. This will provide an opportunity to socialise with students and staff in a relaxed setting.

The Library has another three-month trial of Thomson Reuter’s ‘Book Citation Index’ in the ‘Web of Knowledge’ (WoK).  The Book Citation Index (BKCI) does exactly what the journal citation indexes do, in that it maintains a count of the number of times a book or a chapter in a book is cited in other published works.  Currently, there are 30,000 editorially selected books in the database, which date from 2005 onwards.   These make up 15.7 million of the newly cited references in WoK, and Reuters aims to add approximately 10,000 new books per year.  Thirty-four percent of the books belong to the Social and Behavioural Sciences whilst eighteen percent are in the Arts and Humanities. The rest are books in the sciences.  Information on how material is selected for inclusion in the database and a full list of publishers is available on the site.
