Workshop sponsored by the Harvard University Digital Scholarship Support Group
Are you interested in using data visualizations to explore your data or as part of your research output, but unsure of where to start? Are you already using data viz, but want to learn to create more effective presentations with different applications or programming languages?
Consider attending Visual Eloquence, a participatory workshop on visualizing data and understanding the powerful role it plays in analysis and presentation for digital scholarship. The...
Winter 2020 Research Data Management Seminar Series
Neglecting to develop and implement a detailed naming convention for your data files. Down the slope. Failing to sync and back up your data in three separate locations. Data slip up. Saving your data to a proprietary file format that is on the verge of insolvency. Data danger zone. Facing the shame of having your publication retracted due to data irregularities. The steepest of slopes.
Data management is not easy, as is evidenced by these true...

Winter 2020 Research Data Management Seminar Series
It's a new decade! What better new year's resolution than to manage your data better! Research Data Management (RDM) is essential for responsible research and planning should begin early. Your well-organized and documented data will meet funding agency requirements, be preserved, discoverable and reproducible. Learn what RDM is, how it applies to your research, and who to contact for assistance.
Policies are one way funders, publishers and institutions are encouraging and requiring data sharing. Many agencies require research data produced as part of a funded project to be made publicly available, and many have instituted requirements for data sharing and formal data management plans. In this session we will define the concept of policy as it relates to research data management, and provide an...
Whether you’re working at the bench, in the field, or in theory, you need to keep track of what you do so that you—and others—can refer back to it whenever necessary. Laboratory notebooks are a critical tool for data management in scientific research. A lab notebook is a complete record of procedures (the actions you take), the reagents you use (your materials), the observations you make (these are the...
Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core’s Monthly Short Workshop Series: Setting up for success
