About our Peer Support Program
Within the Access 2 Perspectives Peer Support Program, we guide you in opening up your research to state-of-the-art best research practices in a digital research environment. Leverage your research projects to higher efficiency and increased collaboration opportunities and gain joy back into your research workflow as well as time to design your life.
Are you ready to open up your research and increase discoverability to other researchers, prospective funders, and collaborators, while building your reputation as an expert in your research discipline, improving team-internal collaboration, and increasing your impact, personal gain, and quality of life?
In the Access 2 Perspectives Approach, we meet you exactly where you are on your journey as a researcher. We understand that your actions are focused on your passion for your research topic and on generating results for impact through scholarly publishing.
Citation metrics alone won’t ensure the lasting contributions you wish to provide to the scholarly system and eventually society. That’s why you need a different, tailored strategy that includes weekly coaching, structure for your high-performing and widely-interested nature, and a supportive peer community to hold you accountable.
Consulting & Mentoring
Open up your research workflow, from scholarly literature search, methodology to dissemination of your results.
Workshops & trainings
Topics covered are backed by real examples and relate to the participants’ research projects and disciplines.
