Overview

The focus of this workshop is to provide new or existing users of ResearchMaster's Publication Web Interface (PWI) with the skills required to produce lists of research publications data in each of the five formats offered be the application. The PWI also has limited filtering capability in the form of simple searches which can be entered and issued from the application's Home page. This functionality is also examined in some detail.

Intended Outcomes

  • experience using ResearchMaster's Publication Web Interface (PWI) application
  • familiarity with the PWI's user interface
  • to be able to construct and run queries within the ResearchMaster Database's Publications Module using the search functionality of the PWI
  • to be able to present the data returns from a query in each of the five available formats

Course Content

On completion of this workshop participants will:

  • have experience using ResearchMaster's Publications Web Interface (PWI) application
  • be able to set user-configurable options and preferences
  • have the skills necessary to construct and run queries to return research publication's data of interest, within the constraints of a user's access permission
  • understand what  output formats are available, as provided by the application
  • be able to select a suitable report from a list of available reports

Note: It is recongnised that ResearchMaster's Publications Web Interface is particularly suited to data entry - while querying and reporting is somewhat limited in comparison to the RM4 client application. If flexibility in devising queries is important to your role, as would be a wider range of reporting and data extraction options, then the ResearchMaster (RM$) Publications Module - Read Only Access training course may be more suitable for you
