All researchers are invited! The Research Intelligence@HKUL: Training for Researchers series guides you through the Libraries’ support at every stage of your research journey, from identifying research fronts to managing your author profiles. Check out the session details below.
Identifying Research Fronts
13/10/2025 (Mon) | 14:30-15:30 | Zoom
A fast, hands-on introduction to finding emerging research fronts using SciVal and Web of Science/InCites—learn key indicators, a simple workflow, and best practices in just one hour.
Learn to spot emerging research areas using SciVal and Web of Science/InCites.
Understand SciVal Topic Prominence Percentile.
Use Clarivate indicators: Research Fronts, Hot Papers, Highly Cited Papers, CNCI.
This course provides a foundational understanding of systematic reviews, a rigorous method of synthesizing research evidence. Participants will learn the principles, processes, and tools involved in planning, conducting, and reporting systematic reviews, with an emphasis on transparency, reproducibility, and critical appraisal of existing literature. It is designed for beginners who want to gain practical skills and knowledge to support evidence-based practice and research.
Everything you need to know about writing a manuscript
by Dr. Yuen YIU (Device Editor, Cell Press)
16/10/2025 (Thu) | 14:30-15:30 | E-learning Lab, Main Library
Have you ever wondered why are abstracts called “abstracts”? Do you have trouble deciding what to include in figure.1 of your paper? In this workshop, Dr. Yiu (senior editor of Device at Cell Press) will share tips on how to write and submit a scientific paper, and how to increase the visibility of your research. He will also briefly present and explain the journal ecosystem of Cell Press in the physical sciences, such as the scope of Chem, Matter, Joule, and Device. Learn the basics of writing a research paper and test your ability to spot bad languages on Oct-16!
Researchers publish in journals to share their findings with the scientific community and the public. This also ensures quality and credibility of research through the peer-review process, in which experts in the field critically appraise the research before publication. Journal selection is a key step for researchers who aim to share their findings in an effective way to the target audience. After this workshop, you will be able to:
Understand the general considerations when selecting journals to publish
Identify available tools and metrics for journal evaluation
Managing Author Profiles to Demonstrate Your Research Impact
21/10/2025 (Tue) | 14:30-15:30 | E-learning Lab, Main Library
Maintaining accurate, consistent, and connected profiles is essential for visibility, citation accuracy, evaluation, networking, and meeting funder and publisher requirements.
In this practical workshop, you will:
Get hands-on experience creating and optimizing widely used author profiles, including Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID (Web of Science), Google Scholar Profile, and ORCID.
Learn actionable tips for maintaining and syncing these profiles - standardizing your name and affiliations, linking profiles to each other and to your outputs, consolidating duplicates, and updating works - so you can demonstrate your research impact across platforms.
