Collaboration and Team Science: A Field Guide was developed to help researchers navigate some of the rocky and murky territory associated with building a team either on their own or at the request of someone in their organization. It is intended for anyone who is currently participating on or leading a research team, considering becoming involved in a research team, or contemplating building a research team.
The UMMS Office of Research has created a visual Research Project Lifecycle, designed to show you the process of research here at the University of Michigan.
Think. Check. Submit. helps researchers identify trusted journals and publishers for their research. Through a range of tools and practical resources, this international, cross-sector initiative aims to educate researchers, promote integrity, and build trust in credible research and publications.
Struggling to write? Are you finding it hard to focus because it's easy to get distracted by other things? Then join us for the Write on (Web)Site every weekday 8-10am in the Zoom Room. A Write-on-Site group is a way to build in writing time and accountability even when we're working from home. Write-on-site accountability is simple: show up at the designated time, in the designated Zoom Room, and settle in to work on your writing for however long you've planned for. The addition of a routine to your weekly schedule can help add value and protect your time so that you can dedicate to writing every day.
If you'd like to join a write-on-site, just log into the Zoom meeting, mute your microphone, open your text editor of choice, and get started. Feel free to share this link (not on social media) with anyone who wants to join or set up writing time and have added accountability towards their writing. For those of us that have participated in the Zoom writing meetings, we have found that the more people who join, the more writing energy moves through the meeting, so please join us! Once we are no longer social distancing, we will open these to in-person write-on-sites with sites around the Medical School.
