Details.
The ScholCommLab's Visiting Scholar Program invites graduate students enrolled full-time at an accredited institution to work on a joint research project during a research stay in Ottawa or Vancouver, Canada. Visitors can work with the lab's directors and its international, interdisciplinary network of bibliometric and scholarly communication researchers and experts, with access to data, tools, and methodologies. Collaborations are welcome on topics related to scholarly communication, especially current ScholCommLab projects, and are expected to continue beyond the research stay with the aim of publishing co-authored research or submitting a grant application. The recommended stay is one to six months, with flexibility regarding length. Successful applicants receive visiting graduate student status, a desk in a shared space, internet and online library access, and potentially funding to present results at agreed conferences. Applicants from outside Canada must obtain a valid visa or work permit.
