Managing your Digital Information: Workshop (for PhD students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences) New
Fri 4 Nov 2016
Description
PREVENT RESEARCH DISASTERS THROUGH GOOD DATA MANAGEMENT
- How much information would you lose if your laptop was stolen?
- Have you ever emailed your colleague a file named 'final_final_versionEDITED'?
- Do you know what your funder expects you to do with your research information?
As a researcher, you will encounter research data in many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications.
Whether you create, receive or collect this information, you will need to organise it.
Managing digital information properly is a complex issue. Doing it correctly from the start could save you a lot of time and hassle when preparing a publication or writing up your thesis.
