Identify Yourself

by Bruce White, College Liaison

As a researcher your most important asset is your name. Names form the primary link between published works and their creators and are the key aspect of almost all referencing systems. The presence of your name on an article or book allows you to claim credit for the work and to any subsequent citations of it. But how good a job does your name really do in identifying you among the thousands of scholars out there? Do you have the same name as other researchers? Have you worked at a number of different institutions or used more than one form of your name?

What is Massey Research Online?

by Bruce White, College Liaison

Massey Research Online (MRO) is the University’s Institutional Repository of digital copies of published research such as theses, journal articles, conference papers, reports and other peer-reviewed documents. All items in the repository are “full-text” and are publicly available – that is, accessible to all Internet users. An open repository like MRO affords a major opportunity to place academic work in the public domain and to draw attention to it beyond the conventional commercial channels. It may be necessary for you to have a copy of the final version of the article as it was sent to the editor for publication – this is known as the Accepted Manuscript and all authors of articles should get into the habit of holding onto these precious documents.
