Are You A Research Culture Manager?

As a research culture manager, you are always working on that REF-ready research culture. Scaffold research excellence with this expert-led workshop for your researchers.

Research training programmes unwittingly compound the problem, foregrounding methodology and method and relegating the literature review to top-tip handouts, easy-step guides, and self-study videos.

We know this isn’t working.

That’s why I created How to Really Write Your Literature Review, a workshop that de-mystifies the process and shows participants how to:

  • Turn a pile of notes into a case for their research question

  • Break out of the describe-one-study-at-a-time trap

  • Analyse a body scholarship

  • Structure and rhetorically craft their review

  • Use AI Responsibly

We know the story. Doctoral candidates arrive for their mock viva thinking they’re done, only to discover they have another six months to go. Or researchers, excited to finally submit that paper, are dismayed when it needs major revision or is turned down flat. The reason? The literature reviews ramble or read like random encyclopaedia entries. Work is delayed or, worse yet, never finished.

This is more than a source of frustration. It can:

⚠️Threaten completion rates

⚠️Compromise research impact

⚠️Undermine the path to commercialisation

⚠️Jeopardise REF results

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I was fortunate to take part in Susan’s ‘How to Really Write Your Literature Review’ workshop recently. As someone new to research, I really needed support to find, navigate and extrapolate the right information from all the research materials available. I was feeling overwhelmed and was reluctant to get started without a system to organise all the information I wanted to gather. Susan’s workshop was just what I needed” – Jane Pickthall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
