Introduction to Data Management in Humanities and Social Sciences / 26-6-DM-2

Content

Digital research data are generated or collected in almost every research project. Researchers are faced with the challenge of not only managing and documenting these data, but also preserving them and even making them accessible for the public and for further research. The workshop offers a general introduction to the various aspects of research data management in the humanities and social sciences. What is considered research data in these disciplines? Which guidelines and good academic practice policies are important to know right from the start and during writing your dissertation? And where can you find support? The workshop will also cover the following topics:

• Basic introduction to research data and research data management, focussed on humanities and social sciences
• Funder requirements
• Data management plans
• Organisation, documentation and storage of data
• Basic information about publication of research data
• The basics of dealing with sensitive data
• The FAIR data guidelines

After completing this workshop, participants will be able to name central aspects of research data management in human and social science, as well as research data management services.

Further Information 

Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
