Are you thinking of sharing your data for re-use by other researchers? Have you been asked to share your data by a journal or funder? Are you worried about the long term accessibility of your data? Join Danica Evering (Research Data Management Specialist) for this workshop on how to deposit your data on McMaster Dataverse for archival, preservation, and sharing. Learn more about how openly sharing data can benefit you and the research community, and how online repositories are helping to improve the availability of research data. We’ll end with a sandbox session where participants can experiment with the Demo instance of Dataverse.

This virtual workshop will build on the Fall 2023 workshop “Data Visualization in R using ggplot2” to provide an introduction to gganimate in the statistical programming language R. This workshop will go examples on how to create visualizations that change over time and how to and customize the design of those graphs.

Designed for those who are curious about making maps but haven’t yet had the opportunity to learn. This workshop will provide a friendly introduction to geographic data and the mapping of this data using the geographic information system (GIS) software, QGIS. Absolutely no geography or quantitative background is necessary for an engaging experience.

This workshop will build on the Fall 2023 workshop “Gephi Part 1: Introduction to Network Visualizations” to look at how one can conduct network analysis for research. We will go through a case example together and discuss more features that researchers can use to design their own network visualizations.
