Do you have questions about research and publishing? Need help finding the missing pieces of knowledge about the research life cycle? Himmelfarb Library’s Scholarly Research and Publishing Committee has a library of short video tutorials that can help! 

These videos cover a wide range of research and publishing related topics that span all phases of the research life cycle. From project planning and development, publishing your research, to promoting and preserving your research after publication, these brief tutorials (5 minutes or less) provide quick and focused answers to some popular research and publishing questions.

Perhaps you are new to research and are just learning about the research process. Our Research Life Cycle video will give you a great overview of what happens during each phase of the research process. 

Do you have questions about authorship credit and contributor roles for your upcoming research article? Check out our Give CREDiT video to learn about contributor roles and how to ensure that researchers involved in your project can get credit for their work.

Do you want to know more about open access publishing and whether or not it’s the right format for your research? Himmelfarb’s Open Access and Your Research video provides some basic information about open access and explores open access publishing options and archiving research in an open access format.

Have you recently published your research, but aren’t sure how to promote your work so it is seen by the widest possible audience? You can learn basic social media promotion tips, how to write a tweetable abstract, and the benefits of including your research in open access repositories in our Promoting Your Research tutorial.

We encourage you to explore the full video library to learn more about the research life cycle, publishing, and promoting your research. Can’t find a video for a topic you’d like us to cover? Let us know your idea by completing a brief survey and we’ll consider adding the topic in future videos!
