SUMMARY:Introduction to Bibliometric Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Bibliometric analysis is a powerful research method that uses publication and citation data to examine the impact\, structure\, and evolution of scholarly literature. This introductory workshop provides a practical foundation in bibliometric analysis\, covering the key concepts\, methodologies\, and tools used to assess research performance and explore trends within academic disciplines. Participants will learn how to collect and analyze publication data\, identify influential authors and publications\, and visualize research collaborations and emerging areas of scholarship. The workshop will also introduce major bibliographic databases and software tools commonly used in bibliometric research. \n\n\n\nThis session is ideal for researchers\, graduate students\, librarians\, research administrators\, and anyone interested in research evaluation\, scholarly communication\, and understanding patterns within academic literature. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the principles and applications of bibliometric analysis.\n\n\n\nIdentify and interpret common bibliometric indicators used in research evaluation.\n\n\n\nCollect publication and citation data from major bibliographic databases.\n\n\n\nPerform basic bibliometric analyses and interpret the results.\n\n\n\nExplore scholarly networks\, research collaborations\, and emerging research topics using bibliometric tools and visualizations.\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program. For more information\, visit scds.ca/certificate-program. It is also eligible for the Canadian Certificate for Digital Humanities. To learn more\, visit ccdhhn.ca or contact scds@mcmaster.ca. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Jack Young and Sam Hansen

SUMMARY:Tools for Digital Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a story idea but are not sure where to begin? Are you curious about how digital tools can support your creative process? In this beginner-friendly workshop\, you will be introduced to digital tools and techniques for planning\, designing\, and creating interactive and potentially non-linear stories. We will explore the digital storytelling process and experiment with Twine\, a free and open-source tool for telling interactive narratives. Participants will experiment with different approaches for brainstorming story ideas\, apply visual design to support their storytelling\, and develop their story into an interactive experience. Join this workshop to create your own digital story using Twine! \n\n\n\nNo previous experience with digital storytelling or Twine is necessary! This session is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring digital tools as part of the creative process. You will have the opportunity to experiment\, follow your ideas\, and create a story along the way.  \n\n\n\nCreativity is an open process and during this workshop we will explore together and see where it takes us!  \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nGenerate and organize story ideas using digital tools and creative approaches.\n\n\n\nDevelop a story structure that can incorporate interactive and non-linear pathways.\n\n\n\nCreate a digital story using Twine.\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Cathy Grise and Lauren McLean

SUMMARY:Abducted by Aliens? 🛸 Building Sustainable File\, Folder & Documentation Workflows
DESCRIPTION:You arrive at work to see your project’s primary investigator/research coordinator/key graduate student disappearing into a UFO’s buzzing blue beam; with all their project knowledge and disconnected laptop gone forever…or at least til the aliens return them home. While an alien abduction is unlikely to strike your research team\, life happens: research coordinators get hired into roles at another university\, graduate students return home\, PIs go on research leave or get sick unexpectedly and need to step back. Clearly writing out research processes\, clear file and folder workflows\, organized data storage systems\, and more are excellent research practices to make sure everyone is on the same page and your research project is resilient to change. It can also help keep qualitative coding and variables or units of measurement in quantitative projects consistent across multiple researchers. Even if you’re going solo as a graduate student\, documenting your data and keeping a good research log will help you unpack what you did when it comes time to write up your project. \n\n\n\nNo prior knowledge is required! This session is designed for researchers who want to think through their documentation and workflows; from graduate students working alone to tenured faculty with a huge research team. Undergraduate students interested in future research might also find it interesting. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nCreate quality file names from bad ones\n\n\n\nDesign folder structures that make sense for their project\n\n\n\nIdentify types of documentation and locate templates and resources to help them create their own\n\n\n\nTransfer knowledge of storage workflows into their own projects\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Danica Evering and Isaac Pratt
