How to Turn Learning into a lasting academic career: Creating an Academic Profile to Succeed.

 Introduction:

A university degree or high grades alone is not enough anymore. Today's higher learning and research institutions are seeking students with the abilities to think critically, conduct research that has value, get their research published, and work across different areas of knowledge. An developed academic profile shows these characteristics.

Your academic profile is the sum total of what you have learned and the achievements you have accomplished so far. This includes your educational background, what areas you are interested in for research, papers you have written or published, presentations you have made at conferences, any qualifications or training you may have, your technical skills, awards you have won and organizations you are part of professionally. Most importantly it shows that you are ready and able to conduct research and contribute to innovation. Students who are planning ahead will build up a stronger profile that will stand them in good stead for obtaining scholarships, getting into doctoral programs, acquiring funding for research and establishing a long term academic career.

Use all the learning experience to grow

Whether it is completing an assignment, participating in a seminar or laboratory or carrying out research you need to ensure that you are developing yourself along the way. It's not enough just to do it for a grade – learning practical skills and getting research experience is vital. Joining student research organizations, volunteering as research assistant for a faculty member, participating in faculty led research or attending academic workshops will teach you about what research really entails and build your confidence to undertake further research work. By participating in a wide range of activities you demonstrate dedication and an ability to commit yourself which is valuable to universities and potential employers alike.

Acquire skills that are of importance in research

You can only be a good researcher if you have the ability to ask the right questions and have the tools to find and analyze the answers in an evidence-based way. The ability to undertake an effective literature search and find research gaps, design appropriate research methods, gather reliable data, interpret it accurately and present your conclusions effectively will stand you in good stead and equip you for further research. Research ethics also has a crucial role in establishing a solid academic identity as dishonesty or plagiarism will lead to a lack of credibility in any scientific endeavor.

Achieve recognition with publications

Publications represent one of the most valuable ways to establish a presence in the academic community. Through publication in peer reviewed journals, book chapters, research papers, conference proceedings or in an institutional repository you gain recognition that demonstrates the value of your contributions. As you build a portfolio of published research, not only do your scientific writing and presentation skills improve, but your academic profile grows as it gains citations and recognition.

Remain interested and keep on learning

The role of the student does not end with the receipt of a degree but develops and continues through professional development courses, workshops and certifications. Modern researchers continue to expand their skills throughout their careers using the latest software programs and analytical tools. A continued drive for learning is essential to success as a researcher.

Conclusion:

The building of an academic profile is a continuous development, the acquisition of new skills, achievements and relationships in research. Every publication, conference presentation or collaborative effort strengthens your academic identity. By developing their profiles early on students put themselves in a position where they are better able to obtain scholarships, grants, admission to doctorates and ultimately to contribute to meaningful and innovative research.
