ABSTRACT

This chapter helps readers forge connections with others to further research’s impact. Special tricks are offered for those who are shy, hate networking, or both, and chances to collaborate close to home (like through special interest groups), calls for input, and policymaking are covered. Readers are guided to find and maximize mentors who can help them expand the reach of their research findings. The chapter includes resources, including bonus online eResources that list many scholarly organizations, awards, and more in electronic files that make it easy to find and pursue organizations to join or to subscribe to its publications.
