Digital data accumulates in practically every scientific work, for example survey data, laboratory values or photos. Handling this data in a reliable and responsible way is part of good scientific practice, and covers e.g. the planning of data collection, as well as the storage, evaluation, publication and preservation of data.
The lecture will deal with this ‘life cycle’ of research data: Which expectations are placed on scientists? What should be considered regarding storage formats and locations? How can research data and results be published digitally? Which publication instruments are provided by WWU? Which possibilities exist for publishing Open Access and which funding options are available? Which other support services do WWU and University Library (ULB) offer in these areas?
Target group:
The event is aimed at all scientists of the University of Münster.
