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