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 fourth 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, 2024 November 26, 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 software packaging, publication, visibility, and sitation.
FAIR software packaging, publication, visibility, and citation are essential elements in modern research, ensuring that software can be properly archived, discovered, and credited. Packaging software in a standardized and accessible way, alongside tools that facilitate proper citation, enhances its usability and the recognition of your work.
Software publication and citation are vital for the research community to give appropriate credit to software development, support collaboration, and make research tools more discoverable. Platforms like Zenodo and guidelines for software citation play a key role in making research software visible and reusable, following FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles.
In this workshop, you will explore the core concepts of FAIR software packaging and publication, and understand how to make your software visible and citable. In particular, you will learn:
- To understand the importance of software packaging and how it contributes to visibility and accessibility in research;
- To implement best practices in software citation to support open science and proper attribution;
- To make use of tools for software archiving and publication, ensuring that your software is findable and citable by the research community;
- To recognize how making software FAIR promotes reuse, transparency, and collaboration in the research ecosystem.
Join us for this hands-on workshop on improving the visibility, citation, and publication of research software through FAIR practices. This session will provide you with the knowledge and tools to make your software an integral part of open science and increase its impact on the research community. We look forward to your participation.
