We are happy to announce our second online workshop on ‘make your data FAIR’ focusing on basic research data management. This event will be a 1 hour workshop with interactive parts guiding you through the best practices in folder structures, file naming and version control. Looking into these basic but critical steps in research data management represent a foundation to make your data FAIR. The workshop will take place Tuesday, 25 June 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00 Central European Time (CET).
Which data is the final one again? Did I use the right version of data for my plots? Is the correct version “final_data” or “data_final”? These or similar questions probably sound familiar to many researchers. Yet, basic research data management skills – seemingly straight-forward – are often not taught, planned or well thought-out. This can lead to many confusions, for oneself and collaborators. With hands-on exercises, this workshop will introduce the main concepts of keeping research data well-organized, following best practices on folder structure, file naming and version control – a main step towards FAIR data.
The learning goals of this second workshop are:
Geosciences are one of the most interdisciplinary research fields, with input from, applications for and connections to many other fields of research. Moreover, many geoscientific topics are of societal and public interest. This highlights the importance of generating data that is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable – in short FAIR – for a large number of stakeholders within and across domains.
