Data Management Planning

Tuesday, April 12, 2016 from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm. Room C196.05 (concourse level).

Data management issues are basic to many, if not most, disciplines, formats, and projects. A data management plan can help you to successfully manage your data from your project’s inception, through its publication, and to its next instantiation, paving your way to success by making you a more effective and efficient researcher or scholar, meeting funder requirements, and enabling future data sharing. Come to room C196.05 to start planning your data management for your next project!
Our visiting speaker is Amy L. Nurnberger, Research Data Manager at the Center for Research and Scholarship for Columbia University.

Featured May Event
Increasing Openness and Reproducibility in Quantitative Research

Time: 1:30pm – 4:30pm, Date: Thursday, May 19th, Room: 6304.01

There are many actions researchers can take to increase the openness and reproducibility of their work. Please join us for a workshop, hosted by the Center for Open Science, to learn easy, practical steps researchers can take to increase the reproducibility of their work. The workshop will be hands-on. Using example studies, attendees will actively participate in creating a reproducible project from start to finish.

Topics covered:

• Project documentation
• Version control
• Pre-Analysis plans
• Open source tools like the Center for Open Science’s Open Science Framework to easily implement these concepts in a scientific workflow.

This workshop is aimed at graduate students and post docs, across disciplines, who are engaged in quantitative research. The workshop does not require any specialized knowledge of programming. Participants will gain a foundation for incorporating reproducible, transparent practices into their current workflows.
Speaker: Courtney Soderberg
Courtney is the Statistical and Methodological Consultant at the Center for Open Science and heads up their training programs for reproducible research methods. She has a Ph.D. in Experimental Social Psychology with a minor in Quantitative Psychology from UC Davis.
Attendees will need to bring their own laptop in order to fully participate.
