Find a Research Collaborator: Tools for Making Research Connections at Boston University (2023)
In our rapidly changing world, the problems we face often require creative input from a team of experts that span disciplines. A collaborative and interdisciplinary approach can strengthen research and scholarship, enabling new knowledge and real-world solutions. Yet finding potential collaborators remains a challenging and time-consuming process.
To support faculty in this critical effort, Boston University offers a suite of tools to help you identify collaborators for your research. In this virtual workshop, the Office of Research, will provide an overview of available databases, including SciVal, Dimensions, BU Experts, and BU Profiles, as well as techniques for using these tools to find potential collaborators and identify the expertise of other faculty at Boston University.
This workshop will provide an overview of databases available for identifying potential collaborators. Researchers interested in networking are encouraged to attend our Research on Tap events, held in-person on BU’s campus several times each semester. Doctoral students with research or mentorship questions can reach out to gradpd@bu.edu and postdocs with research or mentorship questions can reach out to postdocs@bu.edu. View slides.
