Overview

Research data is increasingly valued as a necessary component of reproducible and open science. Initiatives focused on the usability of data like “FAIR”, coupled with mandates from funders and publishers that require data to be openly accessible, increase the need for a data savvy research workforce. This workshop will focus on understanding the value and need to publish research data and how and where to publish data in a usable way that allows for reproducibility and transparency that advances scientific discovery. Please register below.
