Research Data Workshops

Taught by the Data Services Librarian, Brian Westra.
Reviewing and Tidying Up Spreadsheet Data with OpenRefine
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.
Creating a Data Management and Sharing Plan For NIH Proposals

This session will help you create a useful and well-written plan that meets NIH requirements and can be put into practice in your project. This session covers each section of a plan: 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.

These sessions are scheduled via the Hardin Library Open Workshops

Creating a data management plan for NSF & other funders.
This session is focused on NSF and funders other than NIH. The goal is to help you create a useful and well-written plan that meets the requirements and can be put into practice in your project. We’ll look at each section that is required by a particular research funding organization, and related UI and other resources. These sessions are scheduled on an as-requested basis, so please contact us when you or your group would like to participate in this workshop.
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.

Please tell us about you
