I joined º£½ÇÖ±²¥ in February 2015, after working for a number of years in the voluntary sector in a variety of information, project and development roles.
As a member of º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s Research Services Directorate, I also work closely with Library and Learning Services, to implement º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s policies on open access and research data management. My role involves training and supporting researchers in making their publications and data open access. Currently I am project-managing the development of º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s research data management infrastructure and support.
Working together with colleagues in Library and Learning Services, we have updated º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s Open Access policy, and put in place a training, support and reporting service for º£½ÇÖ±²¥ researchers and management on open access, including funder and REF compliance.
