Support of the teaching

• Answers to the questions "How can AI tools support academic writing?", "What suggestions are there in the context of citation rules?" and "How can the use of AI tools be documented outside of citation rules?" can be found in the workshop How do I cite ChatGPT?.

• In this online workshop, you will learn how you can easily use the reading list management system read!t to create reading lists for your course.

Research support

• Take your first steps with us in PURE, WU's research information system. In this system you record all your research achievements.

• If you are carrying out a third-party funded project, you will receive an overview of the project start in PURE, the calculation and the resulting reporting up to the completion of the project.

• In the workshop on Persistent Identifiers, you will learn how to keep your researcher profile up to date using ORCID iD and similar PIDs for individuals and how your research output can be correctly linked to your name. You can use DOIs to make your publications permanently findable on the Internet and stably citable.

• The workshop on Open Access will give you an insight into the publication and funding opportunities that WU offers you if you want to publish your publications open access.

The workshops are held in cooperation with Controlling, Library, and Research Service Center. Participation is free of charge and open to all WU employees.
