The NIH Library is pleased to present a one-day bioinformatics workshop and several bioinformatics classes this month, all offered online.

The NIH Library is hosting the Scholarly Publishing Symposium: Elevate Your Research Visibility, on March 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater, Building 10, and via videocast.

This free service features bioinformatics consulting, training, analysis tools and databases hosted on high-performance computing workstations in the NIH Library and other open sources in NIH.

The NIH Office of the Associate Director for Data Science and the NIH Library are pleased to host Software Carpentry Workshops taught by volunteers from the NIH community. Software Carpentry’s mission is to help researchers by teaching them core computing skills that will help them be more productive in a small research team.

This one-hour overview class introduces NIH authors to the major issues surrounding the topic of publication ethics. A foundation of best practices for professional writing will help authors identify and avoid career-damaging mistakes.

The NIH Library Bioinformatics Support Program has organized an Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA®) training class for Tuesday, June 21. This training will be held in the NIH Library Training Room, Building 10, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

In conjunction with the NIH Research Festival​, the Library’s open house will showcase why we truly are “Your Partner in Research.” New this year will be a demonstration of the data visualization touch screen provided by the NIH Office of the Associate Director for Data Science.

Plagiarism—whether intentional or not—can be damaging to a researcher’s career. To help NIH authors check that all of a manuscript’s sources are cited, the NIH Library offers its Plagiarism Checking Service.

NIH and HHS staff are invited to attend the vendor-lead Ingenuity Pathway Analysis® (IPA) training on April 16. The free training will be held in the NIH Library Training Room, Building 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is required.
