Postgraduate students from across the University had the opportunity to present their research findings to students from other areas, promoting cross-collaboration and peer-review.
Date: 1 June 2018
London Metropolitan University students recently presented their research at an internal event designed to promote collaboration and discussion.
Students from each of the University’s six Schools were invited to submit their research findings for consideration.
Peer review is an essential part of the research process. When a researcher has made a discovery or developed a new idea they will write their idea in a research paper and then submit it for consideration and feedback from other researchers in their field of work (their peers). By doing this, they aim to ensure the work is rigorous, coherent, uses past research and adds to what we already knew.
The one-day session was organised and coordinated by Urszula Bankiewicz, School of Social Sciences Graduate Intern, and Jo Skinner, Head of the School of Social Sciences. Urszula said: “Taking part in the conference gave our students the opportunity to showcase the wide range of research work which is undertaken at the University.
“It was a chance for our students to test their own knowledge as well as help them develop their critical thinking skills. Crucially, the event also acted as a peer review session and allowed students to analyse their peers’ work.”
