The series, rebooted Fall 2019, will feature the following webinars with live Q&A following each presentation
January 21, 2021. 1-2PM, External Tools for Dataverse with Tomasz Miksa, Senior Researcher at SBA Research.
Past presentations:
April 3, 2020, 1pm CST, Qualitative Data Repository with Sebastian Karcher, Associate Director of the Qualitative Data Repository at Syracuse University. The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) is one of the few data repositories in the world dedicated to the curation, storage, and dissemination of qualitative research data. Sebastian Karcher, QDR’s associate director, will provide a brief introduction to QDR and its operations. He will talk about the special challenges of curating qualitative data and discuss some of QDR’s strategies. He will also discuss some of QDR’s ongoing research on innovations in data sharing and research transparency such as Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI) and the Working with Sensitive Research Data (WSRD) project.

March 6, 2020, 1pm CST, Data Curation Primers: Collaborative Resources for Data Curators with Hannah Hadley from the Data Curation Network. Need help with curating research data? Data curation primers are concise resources that assist curators with data formats or data curation topics. These dynamic resources are collaborative and will change over time to address new information and best practices. Learn more about curation for data formats such as SPSS and GeoJSON, or topics such as human subjects data. Data Curation Primers were created as part of IMLS grant #RE-85-18-0040-18 and stem from each of the Data Curation Network’s specialized data curation workshops. Presenters will include members of Data Curation Network and selected data curation primer authors. View slides | recording
February 20, 2020, 11am CST, Make Data Count with Daniella Lowenberg, Research Data Specialist and Product Manager at California Digital Library. Research data are increasingly in the spotlight. To value research data and assess the impact of it, it is essential that we have normalized and open approaches to counting data usage and data citations. The Make Data Count project has built social and technical infrastructure towards open data metrics. Join our webinar to hear about how libraries, repositories, and researchers can contribute to these initiatives and best practices. View slides | recording
December 19, 2019, 11am CST, Lisa R. Johnston, the Research Data Management/Curation Lead and director of the Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM) (http://z.umn.edu/drum) at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Libraries, will discuss the Data Curation Network and how it works “to enable data repositories to better support researchers…to ethically share their research data in ways that make it findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).” View slides | recording
