What is Research Data? Practical Guidance on Organising and Sharing your Files and Findings
Every research project generates data. It’s the material that you gather, create, or interpret to answer your research questions; whether that is numbers, images, recordings, or documents. Good research data management and sharing are essential for making your work accessible, your methods transparent, and your findings easy to use and build upon. Funders, publishers, and universities require researchers to share and cite their research data – but what does this look like in practice? This webinar offers practical tips and guidance to organise, store and share your documents and results effectively throughout your project. This session covers:
- What is research data and why it matters
- The expectations of funders, publishers, and universities for research data storage and sharing
- How to organise and describe your files so you can easily find and understand your research data throughout your project
- How to ethically share research data when working with human participants
- How to find a suitable research data repository for your work
- What support is available beyond your supervisory team
The speaker for this session is Dr Jade Godsall who is an Assistant Research Support Librarian in Research Data Management and Digital Scholarship at The University of Bristol.
