Introduction to data deposit and sharing (in-person)

Session Description

Are you working on a research project, but aren’t sure what to do with your data once it’s complete? Has a funder or journal asked you to deposit your research data in a repository? Do you want to publish your data and make it available for others to reuse?

In this session participants will learn about the concepts, considerations, and best practices related to data deposit and sharing. Topics covered include:

• Why researchers deposit and/or share their research data
• Journal and funder requirements
• Preparing research data for deposit
• Data repositories

This session includes a brief introduction to U of T Dataverse, the University of Toronto’s institutional data repository. However if you are looking for a more comprehensive overview of U of T Dataverse we recommend registering for “Depositing Research Data in U of T Dataverse (Borealis)”.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites or prior knowledge required for this workshop. However attendees may also be interested in Intro to Research Data Management.

Audience: This workshop is designed for U of T students and researchers.

Instructors: Jasmine Lefresne, Data Librarian
