SUMMARY:What is Research Data? Practical Guidance on Organising and Sharing your Files and Findings
DESCRIPTION: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: \n\nWhat is research data and why it matters\nThe expectations of funders\, publishers\, and universities for research data storage and sharing\nHow to organise and describe your files so you can easily find and understand your research data throughout your project\nHow to ethically share research data when working with human participants\nHow to find a suitable research data repository for your work\nWhat support is available beyond your supervisory team\n\nThe 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. \nThis session is part of the SWDTP Data Analysis Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:Analysing large-scale assessment data
DESCRIPTION:Issues with using police data to investigate offending: A research perspective\nDr Ioana Crivatu\, Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham\nDr Ruth Spence\, Senior Research Fellow at Middlesex University \nPolice data is an important source of information for researchers about investigations\, suspects\, and victims. However\, crime records can be problematic to work with. Here we outline three key issues along with our approach in combining and quantitatively analysing police data from several police forces in England and Wales which used different crime recording systems. We discuss data quality\, which reflects missing and misclassified values; inconsistency\, which refers to the vague and at times different definitions provided; and granularity\, which reflects the lack of detailed information included in the datasets. We recommend developing a robust strategy for working with missing data\, triangulating across different sources\, creating higher-order categories where necessary\, and creating a detailed data governance plan before analysis begins. \nLink to published paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0032258X251313944 \n  \nPreparation of a Large-scale Assessment in Education and its use in a Quantitative Intersectional analysis in R\nDr Natalia López-Hornickel\, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Roehampton University; SWDTP alumni\nIn this presentation\, first\, I aim to show the considerations and challenges of preparing large-scale assessment data\, using the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) from 2016. This includes the sources of the data and the merging process\, which is usually an overlooked but crucial step before proceeding with the analysis. Second\, I will refer to the analysis steps to obtain descriptives and models. Particularly\, I will use the case of the Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) to develop an intersectional analysis of students’ endorsement of the gender equality scale (Fifth paper of my thesis). This technique is a parsimonious alternative to multiplicative terms in regressions. \nAll the explanations will be conceptual and also accompanied by a description of some R syntax. \nThis session is part of the SWDTP Data Analysis Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:Philosophy of Social Science
DESCRIPTION:This talk will draw upon Alexander Betts’ recent book Social Science: A Very Short Introduction to offer a contemporary take on the philosophy of social science. It will focus in particular on the underpinnings of interdisciplinary social science\, arguing that across disciplines\, the social sciences have more in common than that which divides them.  \nWhere: Hybrid | GUDTP Hub \nWhen: 27.01.2026|10:30-12:00 \nAdvert & Registration: https://granduniondtp.web.ox.ac.uk/event/philospophy-of-social-science \nThis event is not organised by the SWDTP.
