Researcher Training Program

The program turns subscriptions and databases into actual use: literature searching, journal selection, grants, EndNote, InCites, DOI, and publication ethics.

At a glance

A practical training program for researchers, authors, librarians, and research offices.

Resources are often purchased, but users do not understand the scenarios. Without training, a subscription becomes passive access rather than a tool for achieving results.

Best fit: universities, libraries, doctoral schools, research offices, departments, and editorial teams

How to explain value internally

We already have some of these resources

Then the priority is to assess how well tasks are covered rather than whether access exists: who uses the resource, which scenarios it supports, where gaps remain, and how this relates to KPIs.

It is difficult to justify the budget

We build the case using data, usage, a needs assessment, and implementation scenarios for specific departments.
