Computing Course: Research Data Management & Integrity

Tuesday 26 Nov 2024, 09:30 → 17:00 Europe/Amsterdam

Top (Nikhef)

Catharina Vaendel, David Groep (Nikhef)

Colleagues of Nikhef and CWI will take you through the world of Research Data Management, in a mix of theoretical and practical courses. The goal of the day is to give you the knowledge, setup and experience to intertwine RDM in your (daily) work/research. Including (but not limited to) the following topics:

• FAIR principles, Dublin Core Metadata standard, create your own ORCID
• How to fill in a (mock) data management plan & Code of Conduct
• Adding licenses for data and software re-usability, and why this is crucial
• Research information repositories (Zenodo, arXiv); how to use them
• Importance of, and how to do (immutable) journal keeping
• How to relate journal entries (and Jupyterhub) to corresponding data

 

Note: PhD candidates enrolled in the Nikhef's National Graduate School of Subatomic Physics (OSAF) are required to attend this computing course at least once before their graduation. More information.

 

09:30 → 10:00 Walk-in: Coffee & Cookies

10:00 → 10:30 You and your research data

• Know about the FAIR principles and are able to assess your own data product with respect to these principles.
• Know the 5 Principles and know where to find the full text and the Standards for good research practices (section 3).
• Know about the Code of Conduct for Scientific integrity (2018) and its relation to reproducibility, documentation, reporting (including FAIR meta-data), and the prevention of CoIs.
• Know that students' reports are to be treated in confidence.
• Know about the Dublin Core meta-data elements

13:45 → 14:15 Coffee & Snacks

14:15 → 16:30 When software enters the stage

• Learn how to structure directories to manage processes, incoming, intermediate, and final research data, and to keep (persistent) references to data elements relative to its root.
• Learn about research information repositories, and at least get to know Zenodo and arXiv.
• Learn about Nikhefs Data Repository; Djehuty
• Learn how to upload mock data or slides to Zenodo (in the sandbox.zenodo.org environment) and complete the meta-data requirements.
• Learn about the importance of (immutable) journal keeping and how to relate journal entries (and Jupyter notebooks) to the corresponding data
