What the course covers
The program consists of six modules released on a weekly basis, and lessons are distributed via an online learning platform consisting of quizzes, walk throughs, presentations and short instructional videos. A discussion forum also enables you to connect with other customers to find out how they are using SciVal at their institution.
Each module covers a different topic relevant to SciVal:
●Module 1: Getting started with SciVal
●Module 2: Using Metrics in SciVal
●Module 3: Institutional insights
●Module 4: Working with researchers
●Module 5: Working with reports
●Module 6: Rolling out SciVal at Your Institution
The total time commitment is approximately nine hours, over a six-week period (~1.5 hrs per module). You can complete the courses on any day and at a time convenient for you.
In order to receive certification, you will need to complete all modules and achieve a score of 80% or more on each of the quizzes.
New graduate students are also able to share their successes with peers via social media professional networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook #SciValCertfication
