An OU Impact Challenge that Works for You
Last year we released one chapter of the OU Impact Challenge each week. That content is still live, and it won’t be going anywhere. Work through it at your own pace, and select the activities that suit you best.
But for those who are short on time, we’ve created OU Impact Challenge modules. Each module contains several OU Impact Challenge chapters grouped to maximize your time and energy. You can still expect to see your research get a boost in exposure, even if you only have time to complete a module or two.
Resources
In addition to being powerful reference/citation managers, Mendeley and Zotero offer opportunities to interact with other scholars and get your research in front of communities that might be interested in it.
Co-authoring can make scholarship more fun, productive, and efficient; it can help you develop new ideas and share the workload, and it often results in papers that contain stronger ideas and writing.
Twitter helps you stay on top of news in your field, find new publications, get speaking and publishing opportunities, communicate research directly to the public, and – perhaps most importantly – find a sense of community.
Listservs are a low-tech way to get your research to a broader audience of your peers than social media can. As an active and responsive listserv member, you can position yourself as a helpful expert and allow others to learn about you and your research.
