Library Research Support

The Library Research Support team provides high quality information and advisory services to research students, researchers and research active academic staff and other university colleagues in support of the University’s aim to build on strengths in research, innovation and knowledge transfer.

SHU is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). This has implications for all research staff and their use of bibliometrics. Go here for more information about how we can support you in using bibliometrics.
