This course aims to master the capabilities of modern, accessible digital research services for PhD dissertation preparation, grant applications, and publication activities. Upon completion of the course, graduate students will be able to navigate the capabilities of digital research tools and apply them in their own research.
The academic discipline "Modern Digital Scientific Services for Researchers" is implemented as an optional part of the main professional educational program of higher education – the program for training scientific and pedagogical personnel in postgraduate studies in all areas of training.
The course "Modern Digital Scientific Services for Researchers" provides a foundation for postgraduate students' research activities in a digital environment at all stages of conducting and administering scientific research.
The objectives of the course "Modern Digital Scientific Services for Researchers" are to develop postgraduate students' skills in using digital services and artificial intelligence technologies at various stages of research, during grant applications, and in applying modern methods for assessing a scientist's scientific performance, mastering academic writing, and publishing technologies, developing a system for promoting scientific results, and developing scientific ethics in the digital age.
Studying this discipline involves completing the following tasks:
The course is designed to meet the practical needs of graduate students, guides them toward preparing their PhD dissertations during their graduate studies, and explores the attractiveness of professional activities as scientists and teachers engaged in research at UrFU.
