Getting Started on the OSF: A Hands-on Guide (online)
This webinar explores a variety of use cases highlighting how OSF can support your Open Research practices at the University of Manchester and solve common problems many researchers face throughout the research lifecycle, while also providing a guided tour through key workflows and features. The OSF tool improves research collaboration by enabling effective sharing of the research process. It facilitates open, reproducible research pipelines from preregistration through to data collection and analysis. OSF serves as a centralised project platform seamlessly integrating with existing workflows and external storage systems.
Policy and research with Overton (online)
Overton provides access to over 14 million full text policy documents and grey literature from 32,000 organisations in 190 countries. This session would benefit anyone looking for policy documents, guidelines, think tank publications and working papers to use in their own research or to understand and evidence their researches' influence in the policy landscape.
Introduction to FAIR data principles (online)
Researchers collect, receive, and manage data in many ways. Making sure this data is well-managed and reusable can be complex, but the FAIR Principles are here to help. The concepts underlying the FAIR principles are grounded in good scientific practice and aim to guide people to maximise the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. Making your data FAIR can help you work more effectively, raise your research profile, and engage with open research initiatives.
This workshop is for people in academia with little or no experience of FAIR. This course aims to be succinct in introducing FAIR, its concepts and terminology, and supplements all material with introducing and signposting to useful FAIR resources.
