Student Guide

How to start?

If you would like a more tailored assistance with your research skills, you can schedule a one-to-one appointment with our team below.

Research guides

These guides contain information and resources for those that are heavily involved with research and publishing. As a student, you can find useful content in the following:

Publishing

Having your work published is a great way to elevate your profile, not only in academia but also in the professional world. 

The DBS Applied Research and Theory Journal is an international open access journal that accepts submissions from students, researchers, and practitioners both within the DBS community and externally from all disciplines. 

If you are a postgraduate student registered at an Irish college or university and with no publishing experience, you can submit your work for the Graduate Article Award, for a chance to win €250.

Check out our DBS Library Press Guide to learn more. 

If you would like to see all issues of the journal, visit the DBS Applied Research Journal website.
