## Week Two: October 05 - 09 Week two of our series is all about what happens during and after your research project. Our session on OSF will introduce you to an excellent platform for working with your active data. And then we'll show you some options for depositing your data in a research data repository. *Wait, what? My data should have a life after I'm done with it?* Yes, yes, it should. And we've got you. Just like last Friday, our presenters will host office hours to help you sort out your challenges. Bring your questions! <hr /> * Session 5: Introduction to Open Science Framework * Session 6: Introduction to Data Repositories * Session 7: Introduction to Dataverse * Session 8: Data Discovery and Deposit using FRDR, Geodisy and Globus <hr /> ## Session 5: Introduction to Open Science Framework **Date** October 5 **Time** 10:00am - 11:30am **Presenters** Sarah Parker, Susan Paterson, and Mathew Vis-Dunbar **Description** RDM touches every aspect of the research life cycle. However, working across multiple platforms makes discrete connections across the research life cycle difficult. OSF allows us to draw these linkages and identify where each facet of the research life cycle and your data interact. In this session we will see how OSF addresses the issues of discrete connections across a project and have a hands on exercise to get you set up with a project page to start mapping out your research or your lab. **About the presenters** Sarah Parker is the Librarian for Science and Engineering at Woodward Library on the Vancouver campus. She liaises with the Library's Research Commons and collaborates with colleagues to support and promote OSF and research data management. Susan Paterson is a Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian in Koerner Library. Her liaison responsibilities include Social Work, French Language and Literature and Government Information. She is a member of the Library’s Research Data Management team. Mathew Vis-Dunbar is the Southern Medical Program Librarian at UBC Okanagan. As a member of the Fostering Open Science @ UBC initiative, he works with students, researchers, and colleagues across UBC in support of open, reproducible research practices.. ## Session 6: Introduction to Data Repositories **Date** October 6 **Time** 10:00am - 11:30am **Presenter** Marjorie Mitchell **Description** Data Repositories exist as trustworthy storage and access platforms for data arising out of research activities. Some are discipline specific while others accept datasets from the gamut of disciplines. In this session we will see samples of Canadian repositories, look at their specific uses, learn why metadata is so important, learn where to find metadata schema for your specific discipline. The session will also look at the common types of data repositories, including: Subject Specific and Structured Repositories; Institutional Data Repositories; and Unstructured or General Repositories. You will be able to locate and view existing datasets in the planning phases of your own research and better prepare to manage the data assigned to you. By managing your data with deposit and preservation in mind, you will apply the data management skills you have learned this far and set yourself up to meet funder, publisher, and research lab requirements. Office hours to support this workshop will be held on Friday, 09 October. Please [register in advance](https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3577240). **About the presenter** Marjorie Mitchell is the Copyright, Scholarly Communications, and Research Data Management Librarian at UBC Okanagan. She has been presenting on Research Data Management topics since 2015. ## Session 7: Dataverse as an Institutional Repository **Date** October 7 **Time** 10:00am - 11:30am **Presenter** Doug Brigham **Description** How and why do you share your data with other researchers in your field, once your active research work is done? Maybe you’ve submitted an article for publication and the reviewers want access to your data. Maybe you want to share the data that supports your thesis or dissertation. Maybe you want to ensure that other researchers (yourself included) can access and use your data in the future. In this session, we’ll look at UBC’s institutional data repository, Dataverse. We’ll examine some of the workflows that support depositing data, including data preparation, descriptive metadata and persistent identifiers. Office hours to support this workshop will be held on Friday, 09 October. Please [register in advance](https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3566646). **About the presenter** Doug Brigham has been the Research Data Management Librarian at UBC Vancouver since 2020. He is the administrator for UBC’s space within Dataverse@Scholars Portal and provides support to researchers in many disciplines. He is a member of the Research Data Alliance. ## Session 8: Data Discovery and Deposit using FRDR, Geodisy and Globus **Date** October 8 **Time** 10:00am - 11:30am **Presenter** Nick Rochlin **Description** The Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) is Canadian national data repository aimed to address a longstanding gap in Canada’s research infrastructure by providing a single platform from which research data can be ingested, curated, preserved, discovered, cited, and shared. Geodisy provides map search functionality to supplement the FRDR discovery service, allowing researchers to find data based on location. This session will introduce data searching using the search bar as well as Geodisy, and will walk you through the steps of depositing data into FRDR using Globus File Transfer. Office hours to support this workshop will be held on Friday, 09 October. Please [register in advance](https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3577239). **About the presenter** Nick Rochlin is the Research Data Management Specialist in UBC’s Advanced Research Computing team. He is active in the Portage Network of RDM professionals, co-chairing the Training Expert Group and the Institutional Strategies Working Group, and an active member of the FRDR User Experience & Training Group.
