Other Ways to Share your Work
There are many ways to make your research experiences known. These include traditional methods, such as conference presentations and journal articles. You are encouraged to explore non-traditional avenues of self-promotion as well. Here is a short list of knowledge dissemination options to consider:
- Request to add your work (e.g. capstone project) to Fanshawe’s open repository, FIRST. You may need your professor to sponsor your project.
- Submit a proposal to speak at a college event. For instance, Fanshawe hosts a “Research Week” each year, showcasing various research activities at the college.
- A print or online trade journal may be interested in publishing your work.
- Utilize social media channels such as LinkedIn. (Be sure to review the Persistent Identifiers content in this module.)
- Include an ORCID ID in your email signatures so people can quickly access your research bio.
Feel free to ask CRI staff for more ideas. We are always happy to showcase the work of our researchers on our internal and external websites.
Please remember, though, that if you have signed a confidentiality agreement, you may be limited in what you share. In this instance, you may want to connect with the project leads or CRI for guidance.
If there is additional content that you feel would enhance this toolkit and be useful for student researchers, we would welcome hearing from you at research@fanshawec.ca.
