The HSC Libraries offer workshops each semester, many of them relevant to research impact. Some specifics include:
Introduction to Research Impact – Online
This session will introduce some metrics commonly used to measure research impact. We will demonstrate where metrics can be found, discuss how they are used and issues related to their misuse, and suggest some steps you can take to improve your own impact.

How to Write a Publishable Article using CONSORT – Online
This session is designed to teach attendees how to write a research article suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It is particularly suited to those with clinical trial results to report, who are inexperienced at composing articles for publication. We will focus on using the CONSORT reporting standard as a blueprint to make writing the manuscript a clear-cut and attainable task. In addition, attendees can sign up to be part of a peer-writing group if they choose.

In 2019, the UF Health Science Center Libraries launched a six-week series of emails designed to help researchers improve their impact. Each week, those who signed up to receive the emails received an email that provided one tip regarding managing research impact, along with step-by-step instructions to perform a simple, related task. Pdfs of the emails are shared below.
