Research Data Workshops

Taught by Data Services Librarian, Brian Westra.

Avoiding (or fixing) Problems with Spreadsheet Data

Nearly everyone works with data in spreadsheets or tables. This workshop will provide useful tips for organizing your data in spreadsheets. Then we'll spend time using free tools like OpenRefine that can save you a lot of time when reviewing and cleaning up tabular data. This workshop can be tailored for specific groups and disciplines. Follow-up sessions and individual consultations are also available.

Data Management Essentials

Whatever the research you are doing, chances are, you’re working with research data. Small changes to your data management practices can make a big difference during research, and when you are ready to share the results. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to securely store and organize your data, keep track of changes to your files, create accompanying documentation, and submit your data for publication. Employing these practices will ensure that everyone, including you, can use and reuse your data in the weeks, months, and years to come.

Data Management and Sharing Plans

This session will help you create a useful and well-written plan that meets the requirements and can be put into practice in your project. We’ll dig into each section of a plan, including: describing the types of data for your proposed project; standards for data and metadata; selecting a repository; addressing preservation and access requirements; and considerations for access, reuse and redistribution. Examples and UI and funder resources will be discussed.

Data Sharing and Publication

You’ve received funding for a project, and your research funder expects you to share the data. Or perhaps you are working on an article, and the journal requires you to share your data. In this workshop, we’ll walk through the process of preparing data for sharing or publication, important decisions to make, and ways to enable your data to have a broader impact.
