CORVALLIS, Ore. \u2013 Oregon State University Ecampus has launched a weekly podcast, \u201cResearch in Action<\/a>,\u201d about topics and issues related to research in higher education.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch in Action\u201d \u2013 or \u201cRIA\u201d \u2013 features interviews with experts across a range of disciplines who share their expertise on qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. Guests also discuss their personal experiences as researchers; research and writing practices; organizational and productivity strategies; and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of the podcast is to do two things \u2013 increase research literacy and build community among researchers,\u201d said Katie Linder<\/a>, Ph.D., podcast host and research director at Oregon State Ecampus, a national leader in online education.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany episodes are focused on helping people understand a particular method or kind of role a researcher might have, while other episodes are meant to break researchers out of isolation and allow them to continue training in new methods or try new skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Available on iTunes, SoundCloud and Stitcher, the podcast also features occasional solo episodes with Linder. Solo episodes are focused on practical topics, such as organizing research and juggling multiple projects, and are designed for listeners to reflect on their own experiences.<\/p>\n

With a gamut of topics ranging from the role of a data analyst to juggling teaching, research and service, the podcast is designed for those conducting research in higher education, those who teach research methods and for undergraduate and graduate students who are considering a career involving research. However, with a variety of both broad and niche topics, the podcast also offers value for anyone with a desire to learn more about the scientific process and research conducted at universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to provide practical advice that people could put into practice immediately to impact their research,\u201d Linder said. \u201cMy hope is that anyone who has an interest in learning more, or engaging with those who are conducting research in higher education will listen because there is a little bit of something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to featuring guests from across the country, \u201cRIA\u201d is uniquely positioned to engage with OSU experts conducting research across the world through Oregon State\u2019s land, sea, sun and space grant status.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really starting to learn what\u2019s going on in our own backyard, which is exciting,\u201d Linder said. \u201cNo researcher has all of the skills or expertise, and it\u2019s incredibly valuable to have researchers come in with a diverse range of experiences and talk about these niche areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The podcast features a dynamic website<\/a>, which includes audio downloads, episode transcriptions, show notes and resources, an episode guide and more.<\/p>\n

Listeners can engage with the podcast via email, on Twitter<\/a>, through the comments and suggestions boxes, as well as by calling in to the voicemail line.<\/p>\n
