Session 2:  Data Publishing and Sharing

Digital files need looking after and long-term stewardship of valuable research data is increasingly a central concern for researchers. Fortunately, the field of data stewardship is abuzz with activity, with new solutions being developed for storage and sharing and repositories offering ever more robust services to ensure that files stay supported, and data remains Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). Research culture has changed: planning for data preservation and sharing has become a typical expectation of funding bodies, while there is now a greater awareness among researchers of the value of published datasets for the profile and impact of their work.

This session provides an overview of the concepts of Open and FAIR data, explores the options available for long-term sharing and includes a workshop on uploading to the Zenodo repository

 

Time & Venue: Thursday, 5th December, 10am to 12pm, Greenway Hub – GW-402.

Who should attend
Researchers and research-active staff at all stages of their career development.

Presenters

Gerard Connolly, Data Librarian.
Lindsay Dowling, Open Research Support Unit Lead.

 

Session 3: GDPR and Data Security in Open Research

This session takes a deep breath and dives into the challenges surrounding the processing of personal and sensitive research data in an environment which is pushing towards greater openness and reusability. The workshop will reflect on best practices for data security during the lifetime of your project and beyond. It will explore practical approaches to minimising risk, gaining informed consent and deidentifying data. We'll look at case studies and highlight some useful tools and resources.”
