9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Kiran, I am the chair of In Our Own words and a health psychologist by background.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I am Rachel and I have recently come on board with In Our Own words and I am newly qualified as a clinical psychologist.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It’s nice to meet you all by the way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So just to explain what In Our Own Words

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is. It is a wiki essentially, to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
build up a knowledge resource around distress

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
suffering, pain fatigue, those kind of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
symptoms or experiences people might

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
struggle with from ethnic minorities

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as they may describe them in everyday

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
terms.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So moving away from clinical disorders

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and moving away from looking at the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Western equivalents of anxiety and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
depression, but really looking at how

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people describe it in an everyday sense

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in order to try and help people to get

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
earlier access to support access to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
support when they need it from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
psychological services. And as part of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that we are building a resource section

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for different communities under different

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
languages where we link to papers- sorry,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not papers-research done by different

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
researchers, you know, trainee

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
psychologists, early career psychologists,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with ethnic minorities, you know, around

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some of their sense-making when they have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mental and physical health difficulties,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
particularly work that might not have been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
published before.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is often called a preprint

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's it, yeah

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Erm, and when I was possibly thinking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about publishing my thesis, so yeah it's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
basically a term in academic which is like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a version of your scientific paper which

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
precedes a formal peer review and actually

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it doesn't, a formal peer review doesn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have to follow on. And you can just, if

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you have kind of completed a dissertation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or or a piece of work, or a even a service

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
evaluation for example, and you can-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there's a number of places you can upload-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
upload them. Yeah and you, and you make

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the pre-print available, how it's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
described [the process]. People can view

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that, it's searchable, people can download

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it. And yeah, others go on to publish it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yep. And One of the nice things about it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is you can actually see how many people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
download your paper and you can create

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
citable links of your research paper from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there. Erm so we'll talk a bit about
