We welcome guest writers to contribute to Research Bridge Blog, a hub for HKUST community to share trends in scholarly communication and promote best practices in doing research.

We are pleased to announce the launch of DMPTool@HKUST, a data management plan (DMP) writing platform at HKUST. 

You would not want to cite a retracted paper in your article or your thesis without knowing. This week we talk about how to get yourself aware of retractions, and to do a reference "health check" before you submit your writing.

In March, Dr. Gilad Feldman (HKU) gave HKUST researchers a very engaging webinar on his journey to open science. This post summarizes his talk and best practices on how you can embark on your own.

As researchers, we want to stay informed about recently published research and see who are citing our work. Here we demonstrate using Scite to create dashboard for tracking citations for a list of papers.

How much do you see HKUST publications in social media? Using Altmetric Explorer, we find that attention to our research has risen sharply in 2021. Can you guess who was talking about our works, and where?

We are excited to share this good news: HKUST started our full-feature subscription to scite, a database that analyses citation contexts; and we renewed Altmetric Explorer, a tool that captures online mentions of research papers.

This week we will show you a tool to find research papers through literature connection networks. It can also help you get insights into literature in your topics.

Named after the ancient Library of Alexandria in Egypt, OpenAlex is an index of hundreds of millions of interconnected entities across the global research system.

In 2021, over USD$18,000 was waived when seven HKUST articles published in Cambridge University Press journals chose Open Access (OA) publishing.
