Research data management and related topics: know-how for your research project
This series of workshops organised by the ETH Library and the Scientific IT Services at ETH Zurich introduces you to the diverse aspects of research data management.
There are six workshops in the series, and the first four each build on the previous one.
- The first course teaches the basics of research data management and how to apply them. This will constitute the foundation of your own research project.
- The second workshop is about data management planning and how you, as a scientist, can meet the requirements of research funders and ETH Zurich.
- In the third workshop, you will learn to manage and analyse data for reproducible research. Topics include secure data storage, creating back-ups and securing reproducibility and reusability of data and results.
- Part four of the series is about publishing data and working with open-access and open-research data in compliance with all requirements.
- In workshop number five, you will learn what to consider when working with images in research, from file organisation and licences to suitable formats for long-term archiving.
- The sixth and last workshop is about scientific outreach and promoting your own research. You will find out why the social media are especially relevant for academics, learn the dos and don’ts for publishing on Twitter and LinkedIn, and get to know the storytelling method for writing texts, which is useful on social media and beyond.
In the 2021 autumn semester, we will be running our workshops online via Zoom. The courses will take place on Wednesdays between 13 October and 24 November 2021 from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. All courses are held in English. They are aimed at doctoral students, postdocs, academic staff and other members of ETH Zurich.
You can sign up for individual workshops or the entire series of workshops on our website.
