Winter 2021 Research Data Management Series
The library in partnership with Information Technology is delivering a webinar series on Research Data Management (RMD) that will run from January through April. These sessions will investigate best practices in RDM through the full research data lifecycle, including how to develop a plan to manage your data, tools to help manage your research data during your project, and what to do when you want to share your data.
These sessions are open to all uOttawa faculty, staff, and students and will feature presenters from the uOttawa Library, IT, and invited experts. The webinars will be recorded and subsequently made available on this page and IT’s Scientific Computing page. Online registration is required.

Introduction to Dataverse for data sharing
Scholar’s Portal Dataverse is a publicly accessible, secure, multi-disciplinary, multi-lingual repository for research data, searchable from anywhere in the world with servers hosted in Canada. Developed at Harvard University, this repository platform includes features such as permanent links (DOIs) that encourage citation of your data set and help you to set licensing terms for access and reuse of use of your data.
In this session, we will explore best practices for organizing your research data for sharing, DOIs and data citation. We will discuss the importance of curating data throughout your project to meet FAIR guidelines when sharing your data using Dataverse.
Presenters: C. Ripp (uOttawa Library) & J. Fry (Carleton University)
