Open Research

 

If you already know the basics of Research Data Management (RDM) – for example backing up your work, file storage options - but now need to know more about effective strategies for sharing your data, then this course is for you!

This course gives a brief recap on RDM and then covers managing personal and sensitive data in the context of the new GDPR legislation, why it is a Good Thing to share your data, and how to do this most effectively in terms of describing your data, deciding where to share it, and using licences to control how your data is used by others. You will even get to write your own Data Management Plan (DMP): these help you manage your data throughout a project and after it has ended and are increasingly required as part of a grant or fellowship application. You will also learn about the range of support services available to you within the University for managing your data.

If you are completely new to the concept of research data management then the beginners course is for you.

Please bring your own internet-enabled device to this session.

This course is designed for STEM graduate students who already have some knowledge about how to store, share and back up their data. Other researchers are welcome.

 

Aims of the session

  • Refresh knowledge about the core components that make up good data management
  • Enhance effective data management and sharing skills
  • Increase understanding of approaches to working more reproducibly
  • Learn how to write a Data Management Plan according to funder requirements
  • Increase awareness of the University’s support around data management
