Welcome new students and for returning students, welcome back from the Summer! As we begin a new term, we would like to bring the new Researchers’ Series program to your attention.

ArXiv, the oldest and the most well-established preprint server turned 30 years old today. Ever wondered how HKUST researchers are making use of arXiv? Here we report our analysis and findings.

With the fall semester just around the corner, this post highlights how you can make the most of the Library's Research Support services to help you get off to a smooth start.

Last week, Web of Science rolled out a new interface. As it is one of the most heavily used e-resources, here we highlight some of the noteworthy new features.

IEEE DataPort is an online data repository developed by IEEE. This post is a preliminary review of this relatively new offering. Potential issues on access and deposit of datasets are highlighted.

Open Science, or Open Scholarship, is more than making your papers and research data open access. This May, UNESCO adopted a draft of the Recommendation on Open Science. All researchers should get to know Open Science as it becomes a guidance of good research practices.

Altmetrics are new measures of impact by capturing online mentioning of research outputs such as papers and datasets. Altmetric Explorer, Plum Analytics and Impactstory are some popular altmetrics tools, and the Library has recently started a subscription to Altmetric Explorer. In this post, you will learn more about Altmetric Explorer.

Unlike traditional citation databases which would yield results by keyword or topic search, Inciteful creates a graph of academic papers based on “seed papers” of your choice and helps you gain insight from it.

More and more journals require you to write a Data Availability Statement (DAS) when you submit a manuscript. What is DAS? How do you write one?

There are many things we can learn from peer review processes of others. Not only we learn how to give constructive feedback, it also helps us stay up to date with research developments and improve our critical thinking.
