SUMMARY:Research Data Management: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:*For UoR staff*\nEffective management of research data is fundamental to good research practice\, and the preservation and sharing of data that enable research findings to be validated and reproduced is required by the University and by many public funders of research. \nThis course will introduce principles and practices of research data management that will be applicable to researchers at all stages of their careers working with research data in any discipline\, whether in the sciences\, social sciences or humanities. The course will cover: public funders’ and the University’s research data policies and requirements; data management plans for funding applications; storage\, organisation and documentation of data; data quality control; ethics and legal compliance; ownership and rights in data; and data preservation and sharing. \nThe objectives of the course are: \n\nLearn what research data management is and how to manage your own research effectively.\nFind out about the University’s and funders’ policy requirements for research data.\nFind out about resources and where to get help.\n\nPlease book your place via UoRLearn.

SUMMARY:Humanities Data
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: Dr Giles Bergel (Oxford)\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities in the Department of Engineering Science \nDate: Wednesday 20 November 2024 \nTime: 13.00 to 14.30 \nPlace: EMG27 and Online \n  \nProgramme\nCoffee and Tea available from 13.00 \n\n\n\n13.00\nWelcome and Intro – Dr Mara Oliva (DH Champion) and Dr Dawn Kanter (DH Officer)\n\n\n13.10\nKeynote address: Dr Giles Bergel\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities\, Department of Engineering Science – “Do Humanists have Data?”\n\n\n13.40\nRoundtable:\nDr Amy Richardson\, Archaeology\, “Data-driven approaches in the archaeology of the Middle East”\nDr Rhi Smith\, UMASCS\, “Museum data: tackling legacies and making connections”\nDr Dawn Kanter\, DH Hub\, “Collecting and Connecting Portrait-Sitting Data”\n\n\n14.00\nQ&A\n\n\n14.10\nHow to go about it: Dr Dawn Kanter and Dr Robert Darby with Dr Marjorie Gerhardt\n\n\n14.30\nWhat’s next (DH CoP and Hub – future events) & close – Dr Mara Oliva\n\n\n\n  \nKeynote address: Dr Giles Bergel\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities\, Department of Engineering Science – “Do Humanists have Data?” \nAbstract: The question that this talk addresses might be put in two different senses. In a practical sense\, the question asks if humanists work with or create data that is immediately available for computational use. On a more theoretical level it could be asked if humanists have data at all. Both questions are fundamental given (for example) AI’s voracious appetite for training data and as\, in an age of academic precarity\, the humanities seek both a realistic future and a usable past. The talk will address both questions through the example of the speaker’s experience on Digital Humanities projects in textual studies\, book history and computer vision. \nBio: Giles Bergel is Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. A book historian by training\, he manages an engagement programme in the humanities for the EPSRC-funded Visual AI project\, while also pursuing research in the computational analysis of the printed page\, currently including for the AHRC-funded Envisioning Dante project. \n  \nThis event is being run by the Digital Humanities Community of Practice\, in collaboration with the Digital Humanities Hub. The DH CoP and the DH Hub work together in supporting researchers to build knowledge and skills in DH\, to develop and undertake DH research projects\, and to maintain digital research outcomes. \nOur events are open to all researchers\, staff\, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration!

SUMMARY:Writing a Data Management Plan
DESCRIPTION:*For UoR staff*\nMany public funders of research require researchers to submit a data management plan (DMP) as part of a grant application\, detailing what data will be collected in the proposed project\, how data will be managed\, and how and where data will be preserved and made available to others when the project concludes. Whether a funder requires it or not\, if you use data in your research\, you should have a DMP for your project. Writing a DMP can help you plan and execute research effectively\, curate data for maximum utility\, identify and manage risks\, and ensure resource needs are appropriately costed. \nThis 2 hour course will offer practical guidance on developing an effective DMP for a grant application\, and how to make best use of a DMP in your day to day research. Information about data management planning tools and resources to help you will be provided. \nThe objectives of this course are: \n\nLearn how to write a data management plan for a grant application or research project.\nIdentify the core components of a data management plan and the key considerations to address in the plan.\nFind out about resources and where to get help.\n\nPlease book your place via UoRLearn.
