Pathways to Research Data Management series

Pathways to Research Data Management is a series of workshops developed by the University of Victoria Libraries to support students and faculty in developing new skills and knowledge to support the management of their research data.

The workshops in this series are currently comprised of the following:

1. Introduction to research data management
2. Introduction to data management plans
3. Version control with GitHub
4. Data cleaning skills with OpenRefine
5. Geocode your data with QGIS and StatsCan PCCF
6. Qualitative data management with Taguette
7. Don't let your data go dark! Data Repositories for discovery and preservation

The intended audience for any of the workshops offered in the Pathways to Research Data Management series are:

• Faculty
• Graduate Students
• Undergraduate Students
• UVic Staff

These workshops were originally designed for grad students with little to no experience with research data management, however they are appropriate for a general audience.

For workshops involving the use of software or online tools, no prior knowledge is required.

The workshops in this series range from 1-1.5 hours in length.  To see a full description of each workshop, as well as learning outcomes, refer to the tabbed menu on this guide.  To view the instruction materials for each workshop, visit our Open Science Framework page where instruction materials will be posted for sharing closer to the date.
