Your OKR template
The second outcome focuses on the submission of two high-quality research pieces for publication review. Undertaking comprehensive research, writing, and editing these articles are noted as key initiatives towards this end. The idea is to produce research work of high enough quality to be reviewed for publication.
The third outcome is about attending at least 3 professional development workshops related to research methods or practices. The purpose of this is to further enhance the researcher's proficiency and knowledge in research techniques. Specific initiatives include identifying suitable workshops, registering for them, and ensuring participation.
Overall, the OKR is designed to refine the research processes, promote high-quality research output, and foster professional development. The initiative strategies outlined are critical checkpoints that will indicate progress towards the broader objective of elevating academic research productivity.
