Location: Virtual training course
Speaker: Stefano Rapisarda, Utrecht University
Research fields: Specialists of all scientific fields, and on all career stages are welcome
Target audience: All career stage scientists and professionals, students and PhD candidates.
We are happy to announce our third online workshop on ‘Make Your Data FAIR,’ presented by Stefano Rapisarda from the Utrecht University Library. This one-hour virtual training course will take place on Tuesday, 15 October 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST). Designed for scientists and professionals at all career stages, including students and PhD candidates, this interactive workshop will focus on best practices in version control.
Version control is crucial in software and data management, enabling systematic tracking, easy reversion to previous versions, and conflict-free collaboration. Git, a distributed system, and GitHub, its collaborative platform, streamline these processes with features like issue tracking and project management.
Using version control supports FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and open science principles by ensuring data and code are well-documented and accessible. This promotes transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration, enhancing the reliability and impact of scientific research.
In this workshop you will learn about version control, git, and github. In particular, you will learn:
- To comprehend the fundamental principles of version control in research software and data management;
- To make first steps in using version control tools and systems;
- To apply best practices in version control for FAIR software and data management;
- To recognize the significance of version control in scientific collaboration and visibility.
Join us in this practical workshop on making your software FAIR through effective version control. This session will equip you with essential skills to improve your research implementation practices and support transparency and reproducibility in your research. We look forward to your participation.
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.
