The 'Insider Guides to Success in Academia' offers support and
practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers.
Covering the topics that really matter, but which often get
overlooked, this indispensable series provides practical and
realistic guidance to address many of the needs and challenges of
trying to operate, and remain, in academia. These neat pocket
guides fill specific and significant gaps in current literature.
Each book offers insider perspectives on the often implicit rules
of the game -- the things you need to know but usually aren't told
by institutional postgraduate support, researcher development
units, or supervisors -- and will address a practical topic that is
key to career progression. They are essential reading for doctoral
students, early-career researchers, supervisors, mentors, or anyone
looking to launch or maintain their career in academia. The world
of the academic researcher is changing; it used to be enough to
work hard, do your research and get your results published. No so
these days. Universities now expect researchers to share their work
with the world, as widely as possible. 'Publish or perish' has been
replaced by a new mantra, and the pressure is on. In this
insightful book, Inger Mewburn and Simon Clews look at some of the
most common presentation scenarios that researchers will face when
talking about their work. Starting in academia with the deceptively
simple art of writing a good email and working through lectures,
conference presentations and lightning talks, the book then moves
'off campus' and explores talking to the media, making elevator
pitches, and creating an effective digital presence on social
media. Offering detailed looks at nineteen different presentation
formats, Mewburn and Clews tap into their vast experience in the
field to analyse the challenges and opportunities aligned with each
case study and to map out the route to success. With a lightness of
touch and an often humorous approach, Be Visible Or Vanish: Engage,
Influence, and Ensure Your Research Has Impact will show you what
it takes to achieve that holy grail of modern academia... impact.
This text will be invaluable for students, academics and
researchers hoping to effectively communicate complex information
in a way that can be understood and appreciated by their peers,
colleagues and the wider world.
