New in 2021! We are pleased to bring to the UCF Research community a series of workshops on scientific computing and research data management. These workshops are being jointly presented by UCF Libraries, UCF Graduate and Research IT, and UCF Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) and will feature some guest speakers from the broader research community. This series also includes Software and Data Carpentries workshops (http://carpentries.org) which have been made possible through the sponsorship of Dr. Elizabeth Klonoff, Vice President for Research and Dean, College of Graduate Studies.
The workshops are targeted to faculty, post-docs and student researchers and will be especially useful for those who are new to computational science and interested in learning about the resources available to them at UCF and beyond. Topics span the areas of research data management, high-performance computing, and programming for scientific analysis and will feature some sessions with hands-on learning.
The February 10 session details are:
Title: Foundations of Data Management: Finding Data Sources
Description:
Data and statistics play an important role in conducting research, yet understanding how to find, analyze, and manage these can be complicated. If you are interested in developing data skills, this workshop will provide introductory information to aid you on your path to being a data expert. The workshop will introduce the basic concepts of data, its importance in research, and how to find quality data in different disciplines. Subject resources in select areas such as science, engineering, social science, government, and humanities will be covered in this session.
Presenters: Sarah Norris, Corinne Bishop, Ven Basco, Sandy Avila, Rich Gause, Missy Murphey (UCF Libraries)
