TUESDAY
Open Access & REF: What are we doing and is it working?
The HEFCE rules for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) seem simple enough on the face of it, but the reality at the level of individual articles is often confusing. Is the message getting through to authors, how are we keeping track of the data, and how can we tell if we are on track for REF2021.
A look at progress so far, and a discussion of how we reach authors who are not responding.
This event is organised as part of International Open Access Week. Visit http://bit.do/OAweekfor details of other LSHTM events being held.

WEDNESDAY
Introducing “Kudos”: increasing reach & impact of research
The School is working with a new service called Kudos, to help you maximize the reach and
impact of your published work. It’s quick to use – you need to invest just a few minutes explaining your work in plain language, enriching it with links to materials that add context, and sharing it via your social, web and email networks. This makes your work more accessible, and helps ensure it is found, read and applied by people all over the world, both within and beyond your field.
Kudos uniquely demonstrates the results of your activities – the effect on downloads, Altmetrics and citations – to help you decide how best to use its tools. In a pilot program, publications that were shared through the Kudos tools received on average 19% more downloads than those in a control group.
