Citation analysis is a way of measuring the relative importance or impact of author, article, or publication, and explore links between them. Citation analysis can support the early stages of research by summarizing and mapping existing knowledge and research on a particular subject, and identifying gaps in the literature. It can also be used to […]
Preservation of software with your research data is an important part of open research and will be a future requirement by the Tri-agencies for Data Deposit. In this introductory session, learn how you can apply research data management practices and FAIR data principles to software, and some best practices that will help you prepare for depositing the custom code and analysis scripts you use to generate and process your research data, and how these practices can help you now in developing and maintaining this work.
This practical workshop will introduce trends in scholarly publishing of particular relevance to graduate students and junior scholars in social science, arts and humanities.
