Searching ABS Journals in Business Source Premier

By
In Business and Management Studies, researchers undertaking a literature review sometimes search across a defined group of journals. This is a way of focusing the literature search to make the results more relevant to the questions in hand.

Research as comics - Applied Comics Network

By
On Saturday 9th May I attended the first Applied Comics Network event to talk about the PhD sessions I offer on 'Communicating your research as a comic strip'. The event was looking at the use of comics for informational and educational purposes. Attendees included academics, PhD students, graphic facilitators and comic creators. Applied Comics Network is run by Lydia Wysocki ( Newcastle Science Comic , Applied Comics Etc ), John Swogger (Archaeology in the Caribbean, Something Different About Dad), and Ian Horton (Coordinator for Contextual and Theoretical Studies, London College of Communication). They started the event off (before & after the interruption of a fire alarm!) by looking at the different types of comics the network might cover.
