This final workshop in the Data Stewardship series focuses on data publishing. We will talk about what are some motivations for publishing data, what the FAIR principles are, what to look for when choosing a repository, and go over a typical data deposit workflow. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

In this workshop, participants will learn about data management considerations that can be applied during the analysis and visualization phase of the research lifecycle. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

Though the concepts behind good documentation are straightforward (perhaps with the exception of some fields with detailed standards), it is a common issue across research domains that documentation for shared data is absent or lacking. In this workshop, we will outline the fundamental elements of good data documentation (including standardized metadata), explain the principles behind the recommended practices, and prepare you to streamline your own processes of data documentation. The Data Stew...

This workshop will discuss organizing your data as well as data formats. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

This workshop will give participants an overview of data storage options available at Princeton and detail the logistics of using each option, which is best suited for their data and research needs. Participants will learn the recommended practices for backing up their data, how to maintain data integrity, and how to keep their data secure. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

Historical aerial photographs are very useful data to many researchers. Countries have used aerial photographs to capture geographical space since the late 1920s. They can provide an excellent visual picture of an area to understand the changing environment of a landscape. Aerial photographs are used by different government agencies, academic researchers, non-profit organizations, and commercial companies to create and update maps, and to study the environment, climate change, etc. Recently I ha...

This workshop will introduce participants to the core concepts of “data stewardship” and the major components of data management across the research lifecycle. Participants should come away from this introductory unit appreciating the scope of what data stewardship entails, feeling confident in how best to proceed through the research lifecycle. The Data Stewardship workshop series will take place in the Fine Visualization Lab in the Engineering Library.

In this hands-on workshop, we will be creating a simple, customizable website portfolio suitable for academic researchers using GitHub Pages. GitHub allows for one free website per GitHub account. If you do not have a GitHub account, don't worry, we will set one up). Space is limited! Please use the registration link below. Location: Fine Visualization Lab, Lewis Science Library, A-15
