Research data management and related topics: know-how for your research project

There are six workshops in the series, and the first four each build on the previous one.

• The first course teaches the basics of research data management and how to apply them. This will constitute the foundation of your own research project.
• The second workshop is about data management planning and how you, as a scientist, can meet the requirements of research funders and ETH Zurich.
• In the third workshop, you will learn to manage and analyse data for reproducible research. Topics include secure data storage, creating back-ups and securing reproducibility and reusability of data and results.
• Part four of the series is about publishing data and working with open-access and open-research data in compliance with all requirements.
• In workshop number five, you will learn what to consider when working with images in research, from file organisation and licences to suitable formats for long-term archiving.
• The sixth and last workshop is about scientific outreach and promoting your own research. You will find out why the social media are especially relevant for academics, learn the dos and don’ts for publishing on Twitter and LinkedIn, and get to know the storytelling method for writing texts, which is useful on social media and beyond.
