Research Integrity - an Introduction for Researchers
This course aims to give you an overview of the main areas in both research ethics and publication ethics.
Carrying out and publishing your research with good adherence to the principles of research integrity will help you to deliver trustworthy results that can be relied on by others and build your reputation. This course aims to help you do that with bite sized lessons and interactive questions, as well as resources for further reading.
This course covers the basic principles of research integrity when planning, carrying out and analysing your research, plus writing up and publishing your findings. It will explain why each facet is important, what you need to take into account or do to avoid problems, and cover sources of further information about each area.
An intro to text and data mining for data scientists
Dr. Prathik Roy and Eddie Bates highlighting the importance of Text and Data Mining (TDM) in extracting insights from large datasets. The webinar covers applications in various fields, discusses AI tool evolution, and includes case studies like AI-enabled drug discovery.
It emphasises FAIR data principles, addresses challenges like data diversity and interoperability, and underscores ethical and legal considerations, showcasing how TDM and AI transform industries.
The Research Education Program (REP) presents over 25 seminars each year on a variety of topics, designed to inform and assist you through each step of the research process.
Seminars are presented live in the Perth Children's Hospital auditorium and also live streamed using MS Teams. Connect directly on your desktop device, or from one of hosted locations. All of the seminars are recorded and we aim to upload them within a week from presentation. Find out more about your viewing options.

Join us to learn how we can work together to ensure AI becomes an effective ally in advancing research and discovery.
The Open Access Advantage: How Open Access Improves Your Impact
Think publishing in Open Access is a drain on your resources with no derived benefit? Think again! Open Access allows your research to reach a broader audience than just those with access to an institutional library. Not only does Open Access publishing reach more of your core audience, it also reaches educators, practitioners, policymakers, and the media. The more people reading your work, the more impact you have on the progress of science and the betterment of humankind.
Understanding open research
Research funders, institutions and publishers are increasingly talking about Open Research. As a broad term which encourages accessibility, transparency and reproducibility of research and supporting information, Open Research includes the practices of sharing data, code, preprints, methods, or working in new ways such as Registered Reports.
This webinar will cover the different areas covered by current definitions of Open Research, and outline some of the policies and practices to support this in place at Taylor & Francis. Hear more about how you can increase the transparency and reproducibility of your research and ultimately have greater impact.
Elsevier Researcher Academy
The is a comprehensive, entirely free e-learning platform designed to empower and support early to mid-career researchers in their academic journey. With a wide range of expert-led resources, courses, and tools, the Academy provides valuable guidance on essential research skills, from writing and publishing to grant funding, networking, and career development.
Whether you are navigating the challenges of your first publication or looking to advance your research career, the platform offers practical insights and tailored content that helps you build the skills necessary for success.
Successful research grant applications – getting it right
Many early and mid-career researchers must still locate and compete for funding before work can begin. Grant applications can be complex, eating into valuable work time, and you are often one of many researchers applying for limited funds. So how do you ensure your application stands out and increase your chances of being accepted first time?
In this interactive module, points to keep in mind when preparing your application will be highlighted. It will be explained how to evaluate your idea and what to consider when identifying grant opportunities. It may help you to understand what funding bodies look for and share useful tips on preparing your application.
Tracking journal performance with Scopus
Use Scopus tools and metrics to monitor your journal’s performance and compare your journal with competitor or peer journals.
Creating a good research data management plan
Increasingly, funding bodies require researchers to submit a data management plan alongside their grant applications. These plans describe how data will be acquired, treated and preserved, both during and after the research project.
Good research data management has a role to play beyond funding. As well as saving researchers time and effort when running experiments, it benefits the wider scientific community, as well-organized data can be used by other researchers in their work.
In this webinar recording, produced in collaboration with Dr. Rob Hooft, Technical Coordinator of the Dutch TechCentre for Life Sciences, you will learn what a data management plan is and when you might need one. He explains why research data management is important, whatever your career stage, and helps you understand how to apply the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable).
