Over the last year, I’ve been working with colleagues in Vitae and RIN to put together a new booklet in the Vitae researcher series. The Informed Researcher is now available on the Vitae website and will be available in printed form from Vitae in the next few weeks. We were hoping to have it available for distrbution at LILAC, but sadly just missed getting it there in time.

The booklet aims to be a practical tips guide for researchers, linking together elements from the Researcher Development Framework with the SCONUL Seven Pillars model in an accessible way and I hope it will be a useful tool in researcher training programmes.
