Research Data Management: your ally on the way to your publication
General context
It is better to start with the publication in mind!
In this course you will learn how to use Research Data Management (RDM) in order to improve the writing of your publications and potentially increase its impact.
Starting from basic concepts together with hands-on activities and discussions, during two days you will learn how to standardize, document and submit your data in a repository and how all of this will help you to underpin your publication!
- Define, explain, and differentiate RDM, FAIR data and Open data.
- Find information and resources about RDM.
- Organize, structure, and standardize data and documentation linked to experiments and publication during and after research.
- Apply minimal metadata standards for domain-specific data.
- Describe the impact of documentation on the publication preparation.
- Finding trusted and certified repositories (generic and discipline specific), and learning how to deposit data to them.
- Recognize, explain, and discuss the GDPR.
- Understanding how to protect and anonymize personal data.
- Reuse and verify data.
- Understanding the data management plan, what it is for, and what should be coverage.
Researchers who want to improve the writing and impact of their publications by better managing their experimental data.
Trainers
Alexander Botzki
Alexander Botzki is heading the Technology training unit at VIB, the Flemish Institute of Biotechnology, Belgium.
