As a student at the University of Minnesota, you have access to the Libraries, file storage, computing systems, and software designed to help you do your research, scholarly, and creative work. When you graduate, your access to many of these things will change. This session will provide an overview of actions graduate students should take to manage files associated with their scholarly work before and after they leave the UMN.
You submitted your paper to the journal of your choice. You know you did high quality research and felt good about your paper. Until you get peer review comments that make you question whether you should even be in your field at all. It’s okay! This workshop will teach you how to respond to peer reviewer comments and make your paper even stronger before you resubmit it. We will also cover how you can be a good peer reviewer of other researchers’ work.
Meet with fellow learners on Zoom and learn how to use Zotero to create your own database of citations, PDFs, images, webpages, video and audio files and more. Zotero can then be used to create citations in a large number of citation styles which can be added to Google Docs, Microsoft Word and Libre Office.
This session will show you how to make the right choice for your research. We will discuss how to identify potential journals and what factors to consider before you submit. We will also describe the peer review process and how journal quality is assessed.
This session is for folks who anticipate that they may share datasets in the Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM). We’ll talk about how to prepare the data and develop documentation and metadata. A step-by-step demonstration on how to upload data to DRUM will round out the session.
Learn how to use BrowZine, a tool to create your own virtual reading room of your favorite journals. You’ll also learn how to set up database and journal alerts to keep up on published scholarship in your field.

Meet with fellow learners on Zoom and learn how to use Zotero to create your own database of citations, PDFs, images, webpages, video and audio files and more.

Learn about using the citation management software, EndNote, to import citations, customize your account, and format your bibliographies and in-text citations.
This workshop for graduate students will provide an overview of the publishing process. We will cover the basics of: peer review, copyright, types of journals, costs of publishing, and "predatory" journals.
Both funders and journals frequently require data sharing, but selecting the data repository in which to place your data is a vast and often confusing process. This session will walk you through a tool to help you select a repository and alert you to policies and repository characteristics you should be aware of before depositing your data.
