Research Jigsaw was a week-long series of research-themed webinars open to research and scholarship staff, research students and research support staff. Running week beginning 9 December 2019, Research Jigsaw webinars ran during lunchtimes and focus on making an ORCiD work for you, how you can use research indicators to aid decisions of where to publish, quantify and qualify impact for grant applications, and identify collaboration opportunities. The following resources were presented during the week.

An ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) identifier allows you to be uniquely identified and connected with your research activities. An ORCID or other research identifier will follow you throughout your career and can be linked to your outputs, research funding and other research activities. This webinar recording covered: - The ORCID Create and Connect functionality to link an ORCID to your Enlighten profile - An introduction to other research identifiers to enhance your research profile

Who is working in your discipline and would they make a good collaborator? Do you know who is citing your work? This webinar will help you investigate some of the quantitative and qualitative factors behind collaboration, whether those be existing or potential new collaborators, in academia or beyond. This webinar recording covered: - On an individual, research group and university level, evaluating existing collaborators using quantitative indicators - Finding potential collaborators in academia, industry and government sectors - Discover where other universities and research teams in your discipline are collaborating

Research funders are increasingly looking for the economic and societal impact of research, but how do you demonstrate this impact in a grant application? Using several tools, this webinar will help you track interest in your work beyond bibliometric citations. This webinar recording covered: - Exploring an individual’s and research group’s societal impact using Altmetric Explorer and SciVal data

There are qualitative and quantitative factors to consider when choosing a journal in which to publish your latest research. This webinar will unpick some of the quantitative factors in your decision-making process by exploring a range of journal indicators and how journal impact can be measured beyond citations. This webinar recording covered: - Journal-level indicators such as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalised Impact per Paper (SNIP), and their strengths and limitations - Identifying top-tier journals in a subject area and comparing journals on a range of indicators - How journals fare on rejection rates, the percent of non-cited material in a journal and the percentage of review articles - Comparing journals on citations in patents and policy documents

Are you confused by citation counts or are you more attentive to your Altmetric score? This webinar recording will provide you with a foundational understanding of what biblio- and altmetrics are and how you might use them to track the impact of your research, all framed by the University of Glasgow Responsible Metrics Statement. This webinar recording covers: - Common article and author research indicators, how they are calculated and where to find them - The strengths and limitations of commonly used research indicators - Some do’s and don’ts and how to combine metrics - Some scenarios on how you might use research indicators in your discipline

KAREL ČAPEK (1890-1938): A WRITER FOR OUR TIMES1JAN ČULÍKAbstract Karel Čapek is regarded by many literary historians as one of the most important authors of the interwar Czechoslovak Republic. Despite this designation, he con-tinues to be controversial, particularly in the Anglophone world, as some critics believe that Čapek never actually comprehended the character of evil. On the occa-sion of the 120th anniversary of Čapek’s birth, this article re-examines some of the most important themes of Čapek’s writing from the vantage point of current events and well-known literary scholars. As one of the first European authors to experiment with multi-perspective approaches, Čapek echoes Lacan in some of his early work, while anticipating existentialism and postmodernism. These approaches will be investigated alongside Čapek’s own analyses of society and politics, particularly topical today. Keywords: Czech Literature; Karel Čapek; Jacques Lacan

Three TV interviews with former Czech dissident and first Prime Minister of post-communist Czechoslovakia Petr Pithart on Czechoslovak History since the Prague Spring of 1968 Culik, J. and Pithart, P. (2019) Britské listy Interview 234. Petr Pithart: The decades after the 1968 Soviet invasion. It was an era of timelessness ttps://youtu.be/D6WSHQ1Wjwo (This interview is in Czech with English subtitles.) On the occasion of the thirty years' anniversary of the fall of communism, we broadcast three exclusive interviews with Petr Pithart, the first Prime Minister of the post-communist Czech Republic and a close collaborator of Czechoslovak President Václav Havel. In this, third, interview, Petr Pithart talks about the drastic impact of the so called "normalisation period" - the two post-invasion decades from 1969 to 1989. At the beginning of this period, all adult citizens of Czechoslovakia were subjected to political interviews during which they were forced to approve of the invasion and renounce all their previous liberal or democratic statements, otherwise they lost their jobs. These interviews were extremely humiliating. The Czechoslovaks retreated into the privacy of their families and homes and started distrusting their fellow citizens. The deep trauma of normalisation has not been exorcised to this very day and it still deeply influences life in contemporary Czech Republic, argues Pithart. The interview was broadcast by the Czech cable TV station Regionalnitelevize.cz from Friday 23rd August, 2019. Culik, J. and Pithart, P. (2019) Britské listy Interview 233. Petr Pithart: Why were the Prague Spring politcians such cowards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRm6tYbPFg4 (This interview is in Czech with English subtitles) On the occasion of the thirty years' anniversary of the fall of communism, we broadcast three exclusive interviews with Petr Pithart, the first Prime Minister of the post-communist Czech Republic and a close collaborator of Czechoslovak President Václav Havel. In this, second, interview, Petr Pithart is - rightly - highly critical of the cowardice of Alexander Dubček and the other leaders of the Czechoslovak CP during and after the 1968 Prague Spring. Pithart testifies to the remarkable perspicacity of Zdeněk Mlynář, the main strategist of the Prague Spring and the author of the 1968 Czechoslovak CP Action Programme. Within 20 minutes of Dubček being appointed leader of the CzCP on 5th January 1968, Mlynář predicted the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Fifty years ago this month, in August 1969, Dubček brutally betrayed Czechoslovak citizens who protested against the Soviet invasion, chanting his name. He sent the army and the police to suppress them. The interview is being broadcast by the Czech cable TV station Regionalnitelevize.cz from Friday 16th August, 2019. Čulík, J. and Pithart, P. (2019) Britské listy interview 232. Petr Pithart:1968 was the only time when I believed that the world might be better . https://youtu.be/eP7b0Jhzlnk (This interview is in Czech with English subtitles.) On the occasion of the thirty years of the fall of communism, we have broadcast three exclusive interviews with Petr Pithart, former Czech Prime Minister and close collaborator of the first Czech President Václav Havel.
