Note Making for Research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine (STEMM)

This is an interactive online session for anyone engaging in research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM).

Making notes on the academic literature you read helps you remember what you have read, clarify your own thoughts, and get started with writing. It also makes your life much easier when you come to adding references to your thesis or publication! This session will explore methods, tools, and strategies for making effective and efficient notes for your research.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

• Understand various note making methods
• Select an appropriate note making method for your reading needs and personal preferences
• Create notes which demonstrate critical reading and support academic writing

• PhD students in the Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine
• Researchers in the Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine
• Other Cambridge students and staff welcome

Online webinar with presentations, demonstrations, discussions and practical activities.

If you require any help before the session, such as accessibility support, please email our team at ResearcherDevelopment@lib.cam.ac.uk for further assistance.

This session will be delivered using Zoom so please ensure you have it installed ahead of the session. A joining link will be sent out as part of the booking confirmation process.
