I got peer review back. Let's just say I don't think they got it! They didn't reject my article but they also didn't get it. So no idea what to do with that. I've emailed my mentor. Maybe she has some advice for me. #LISresearch

Lack of access to academic databases is an interesting challenge. Lack of advanced searching in OpenAlex is rather limiting. I'm having to make do as best I can to locate useful material. Open access publications are great but first you have to find them!

Not quite sure what to do about my submitted journal article. Website says standard timeframe for peer review is 10-12 weeks. It's been 18 weeks. I emailed the editor 2 weeks ago for an update in case my novel method was causing an issue. No response yet. #LISresearch

Coming towards the end of my second week at @librariesconnected.bsky.social and the people are just so kind and inclusive. I feel so connected even though I am working remotely because everyone has made me welcome and feel my fledgling contribution is valued.

While I was on holiday, my research data was approved for the archive and the embargo added as requested. I'm ready to transition to my new job.

Slight issue with my upload of data. In the participant information form, I said a 3 year embargo period. But Reshare only allow a 12 month embargo period. So what do I do? Wait two years before uploading it? #LISresearch I have contacted their helpdesk.

Ok I've finished anonymising transcripts. Hopefully tomorrow I can upload to a data repository. But first I have to do more some more admin around this. Research involves a lot of admin. #LISresearch

Just finished anonymising transcript 2 from Participant 2. It shrunk by more than half. Really difficult to untangle stuff about a person's role and their method. The challenge of identifiablity in longitudinal qualitative research. So now one final transcript left to do. #LISresearch

A few tears this morning after my line manager's manager (who was for a long time my manager) sent me the loveliest farewell email. I am going to miss all the amazing people at UH.

I've now anonymised the transcripts for Participant 3. So I've got Participant 2 and Participant 4 to work through which equals 5 narrative transcripts to anonymise before I leave this role after Christmas. #LISresearch

My role as subject librarian for health at the University of Hertfordshire is now being advertised. Don't let the weird job title put you off (Information Manager). I have been so well supported in this role. #LISjobs #AcademicLibraries www.jobs.herts.ac.uk/go/062776
