February 8 - 12th is Love your Data week and the Office for Research Data Management, which ASU Library is a proud partner put together a list of information including data science training hosted by ASU Library's Data Analytics Lab, webinars on getting the most from ASU's enterprise research notebook LabArchives, and resources for research data publishing and sharing. Join us and celebrate how much we all Love our research data.

Highlights

KEEP CALM and Publish Data OMG! You have to publish your data? Federal funding agencies expect grant recipients to provide access to the data products resulting from their research. At proposal submission you have to describe how you will manage and publish your data. Research Data Services at Knowledge Enterprise and the ASU Library can advise you on your Data Management Plan, support your data science needs during active research, and provide data publishing assistance when you are ready to make your data available. So, don't leave it until the last minute. Speak to us early in your proposal development and find out how we can help. Learn more


Research Information Management. ASU provides LabArchives, an enterprise-grade electronic research notebook, at no cost to faculty, researchers, staff and students. LabArchives is perfect for managing your research and keeping track of data, images, and any other digital information you use in your work. In support of Love Data Week, LabArchives is running a number of webinars to help you get the most out of the product. Whether you already use it or are just thinking about it, there are sessions you will find useful. Learn more.


Love doing more with your research data? 

Data Visualization Thumbnail Learn more about data science and analytics attending one of the ASU Library's Unit for Data Science and Analytics Open Labs where you can "learn the ins and outs of data science and get connected with experts, collaborators and compelling projects!" Students, faculty and staff, of all levels and disciplines welcome. All open labs will be virtual on select Wednesdays from 10 – 11 am, including one on Feb 10 during Love Data Week for a fun exploration on Playful Approaches to Social Data (60 minutes, Zoom).


Do you have data you could share with your ASU colleagues?

Maybe you downloaded and processed some satellite data, adding value to them. Or, you have ecological field data that a colleague might use in their social science research. Or, you have economic data that a colleague could use in their spatial analysis. You know these data could be useful to other ASU researchers, but you don't know how to let colleagues know you have them. We are currently testing an ASU internal-use data catalog as a proof of concept. Our goal is to create a data repository that the ASU research community can leverage to increase transdisciplinary research activities. If you are interested in contributing data, please contact the Research Data Management Office.
