3. Research Impact Challenge: Professional Development at Your Fingertips
Interested in taking control of your online scholarly presence and better understanding and communicating the impact of your research? Join us from the comfort of your office, home, or wherever you have an Internet-enabled device for the Research Impact Challenge!

Each day for 5 days, you will receive an email with one or two suggested tasks designed to either build and curate your scholarly profile or promote your work to make it more accessible. We’ll also share related research tips to help you stay abreast of current publishing trends.

The challenge will take place from May 6th through May 10th. To join, sign up online. We encourage everyone who’s interested in the information to register — even if you won’t have time to complete the challenges during Research Impact Week.
