Join the NIH Library and the Office of Data Science Strategy, in celebrating Pi Day—a day early, on Friday, March 13th. 

The NIH Library is hosting the Scholarly Publishing Symposium: Elevate Your Research Visibility, on March 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater, Building 10, and via videocast.

It is my pleasure to share updates from the NIH Library with you. These are only a few of the many projects and initiatives we are working on.

With the holiday season upon us, it is a great time to reflect on the past year, celebrate our many successes, and plan for the future. In my previous messages, I’ve highlighted some of the NIH Library’s achievements over 2017.

Although the summer months may traditionally be a time to slow down, the NIH Library is making exciting progress on several initiatives.

It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the NIH Library and share a few exciting developments.

This one-hour overview class introduces NIH authors to the major issues surrounding the topic of publication ethics. A foundation of best practices for professional writing will help authors identify and avoid career-damaging mistakes.

The National Institutes of Health will hold the second annual Pi Day Celebration on the NIH main campus (Building 10, Lipsett Auditorium and FAES Terrace) on Pi Day, 3/14.

In conjunction with the NIH Research Festival​, the Library’s open house will showcase why we truly are “Your Partner in Research.” New this year will be a demonstration of the data visualization touch screen provided by the NIH Office of the Associate Director for Data Science.

Plagiarism—whether intentional or not—can be damaging to a researcher’s career. To help NIH authors check that all of a manuscript’s sources are cited, the NIH Library offers its Plagiarism Checking Service.
