Varje terminsstart anordnar biblioteket introduktioner för nya programstudenter. Då berättar vi bland annat om hur biblioteket fungerar och om olika tjänster som kommer att kunna hjälpa dig i studierna. Här ser du schemat för vårterminen 2025.

This session focuses on the literature review, an important part of your half-time review (and of your thesis). You now have the literature sources you need, but how do you write the review? 

A session where the search experts at KIB give you their best tips when searching for scientific information. Focusing on different resources in each session we cover: Resource specific search syntax, pitfalls and best practice, how to improve or delimit your search, as well as how to save results and searches for future use and reproducibility. In addition to these insider tips, there will be time for Q&A. 
 

This presentation provides an overview of the process of performing transparent and reproducible systematic searches in multiple databases. We will go through the different steps, from test search to documentation of the search strategy. We will discuss what constitutes a good systematic search and show useful resources that can support you in your work.

To write your Master’s thesis, you need to know how to find credible scientific sources relevant to your project. During this webinar, you will learn the principles and techniques required for searching databases efficiently in order to find the articles you need. We will demonstrate PubMed as well as other relevant databases. This webinar will run from 16.30 to 17.30, but librarians will be on hand to assist you until 18.00.

The ability to write about your research in a manner that is understandable and interesting to the general public is an essential skill for any scientist. The new KI guidelines for writing the doctoral thesis also strongly recommend you write a popular science summary in English. This workshop will provide you with models for and hands-on practice in adapting content, structure and style when writing the popular science summary in English for your doctoral thesis.

Using sources well is an integral part of academic communication. During this workshop, you will get a “re-cap” of how to use sources correctly and effectively. There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

You mostly give feed-back to each other, even if we’ll be there with some advices and tricks.

Learn actionable tips and techniques for designing science figures for your posters, presentations, publications, and more. We will introduce BioRender and give a live demonstration of the platform.

This webinar will focus on the function and structure of the introduction, on how to synthesise sources, prepare the reader for the aim, and create coherence throughout the text. We will discuss and analyze a sample introduction, and you will get hands-on advice on how to work with your own text after the webinar.

In this webinar we summarize what researchers should bear in mind regarding open access in publications and research data when they receive grants from the Swedish Research Council. Open access mandates of other Swedish research funders will also be addressed.

Reference management programs help you collect, format and organize your sources. Learn how to use either EndNote Online or Zotero. 
 

In order to communicate your research to others, your writing needs to be clear and well-structured. This applies not just to the overall structure of your text; it also applies to your sentences.
 

Maybe you have heard that you shouldn’t use two different EndNote-libraries when writing a document? But how can you collaborate when using reference managers? Let’s look at some examples and discuss how you can collaborate with others using fx. EndNote or Zotero.

Writing the comprehensive summary or “kappa” for your thesis will be different from anything you have written before, not least because you are writing for a different purpose and different audience than a research article. Additionally, you will be writing the kappa on your own, not with your research group as co-authors. So, what do you need to think about when you write your comrehensive summary? Join us for a hands-on workshop during which we discuss structure, synthesis and writing techniques for the kappa. 

Kristina from the Academinc Language Support and Jennifer from the Visualisation Team choose their 5 top tips to make your presentation clearer and nicer.
