This one-hour online training provides researchers with an overview of online resources for locating research datasets, data repositories, and data publications for data sharing and re-use. Participants will learn search strategies for locating datasets through federated data search portals and generalist data repositories, including directories for locating discipline-specific and institutional data repositories. An overview of key issues to consider when re-using datasets or when locating a data repository for sharing and preservation purposes will be discussed.
By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:
Locate different types of data repositories and datasets
Identify issues to consider with data repositories
- Discuss how data repositories can improve reproducibility
Identify issues to consider when re-using datasets
Describe guidelines and resources for citing datasets
Attendees are not expected to have any prior knowledge of these resources to be successful in this training.
