Researcher Unbound
Research Skills Framework
The Research Skills Framework (RSF) is designed with the aim to offer a holistic palette of relevant knowledge and skills to guide and enhance your research capabilities.
Mapped across the research journey, it comprises skills-based learning under 7 domains. Its user-centric design adopts a learner-centred approach, allowing you to select programmes to suit your own research and learning needs.
Researcher Unbound was developed as part of our library’s evolving role in supporting University research. This book chapter details the creation and design of the Research Skills Framework.
