Dear students,
In the context of HEAL-Link’s agreements with publishers regarding Open Access publishing, IEEE has scheduled two webinars. The first webinar focuses on advanced search techniques within the IEEE digital library—a skill that will be particularly useful for finding primary source material for your assignments—while the second covers the option to publish in open-access journals. Both webinars will be held online, and pre-registration is required (links are provided below).
Organized by the publisher in collaboration with HEAL-Link, these webinars are aimed at researchers at all levels; they will showcase the IEEE Xplore platform and the publisher's publication process, respectively.
