I joined ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ 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 ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s Research Services Directorate, I also work closely with Library and Learning Services, to implement ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’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 ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s research data management infrastructure and support.
Working together with colleagues in Library and Learning Services, we have updated ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s Open Access policy, and put in place a training, support and reporting service for ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ researchers and management on open access, including funder and REF compliance.
