Note that posters presented at the GetPublished! conference are published in this collection via a separate process. The following is for other publications.
There is no deadline - we operate a rolling publication system.
Submit work to your supervisor / module leader and request an email confirming that the work is ‘first class’ or ‘publishable’. Keep a record of this, e.g. a pdf of the email, as you will be asked to forward a copy of the email with your work.
Reformat the work so it meets the requirements of being publishable beyond the university.
We do not accept full dissertations or essays
We do accept formats suited to a public audience e.g: an academic poster or other visual forms (e.g. an infographic); a short (less than 2 minutes) talk to camera (can be made anywhere, just submit a digital file); a briefing paper; journal article style paper (e.g. with an abstract, subsections and keywords); an executive summary of the work; a podcast; an image of your own art work or design with accompanying text
We can accept standard digital formats (e.g. pdf, wav, mp3, mp4). For any other formats please contact us to check via studentresearchlaunchpad@brookes.ac.uk
Making your work freely available online means we have to be particularly careful about copyright when you are using, for example, images, sound recordings, or large extracts of text that were created by someone else.
Check the copyright status of your work in order to confirm that there is no copyright infringement e.g. for sound or borrowed images, and that everything is meticulously referenced.
We highly recommend that you complete our copyright course in Moodle. You’ll get a digital badge and can add this course to your CV / LinkedIn page when you’ve completed it. It provides all the information you need to check your work.
Contact the Student Research Launch Pad project via studentresearchlaunchpad@brookes.ac.uk to confirm that you are ready to submit your work and attach your supervisor / module leader’s email evidence (step 1) to prove it has academic staff approval and verify that it has no copyright issues.
A member of the Student Research Launch Pad steering group will reply with a link for you to upload your work.
Once your work is published in the online Student Research Collection you will be sent a permanent link to your work so you can share the link with others and continue to access your publication for years to come.
