UC San Diego Library partnering with TLC Writing Hub
Are you a graduate student who wants to begin publishing but aren’t quite sure where to start? What forms of publications “count” in your discipline or career path? Have you been caught by surprise by costly article processing charges? Are you having trouble finding the balance between publishing and balancing program work? Looking for the right spot to ask your publishing-related questions?
Join a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (and Medicine) STEM-focused or Humanities and Social Sciences HSS-focused workshop to hear from our scholarly communications librarian, faculty, and other graduate students on their best tips, advice, and strategies for publishing while in grad school.
UCSD Library Partnering with UC San Diego Teaching & Learning Commons Engaged Teaching
Did you know that there are ways to publish about your teaching experience (reflections, syllabus, teaching activities, etc) beyond just a personal website or full peer-reviewed journal article? This is a great way to share your ideas with other instructors, build out your CV, and have a concrete product to show in job applications!
Authors Alliance session on AI and the Struggle for Control Over Research

https://library.ucsd.edu/news-events/events/ai-and-the-struggle-for-control-over-research/
Major academic publishers are striking multimillion-dollar deals to license research papers and scholarly books for AI training, often without consulting authors or sharing the profits. In this 60-minute workshop we will explore how copyright law interacts with publishing agreements, why paywalled publishing likely won’t shield your work from being used for AI training, and how open access and fair use can empower AI development that supports research and learning.

Using Bibliometrics and Altmetrics to Communicate Your Scholarly and Research Impact
Scholars and researchers, academic departments, and universities increasingly are asked to disclose the impact of their research to external funders, for promotion and tenure review, and to measure against their peers. While the practice of measuring research impact isn’t new, the availability of new tools and methods of communication has proliferated in recent years. In this workshop, you will learn about these available metrics tools, both “traditional” (like Web of Science) and “alternative” (like Altmetric), how to incorporate these into telling the story of your research impact, and learn some of the ways you can increase your visibility as a scholar. We’ll cover a variety of metrics methods and tools that allow for the communication of impact across the disciplines.
