The PARTHENOS Project has released a new training module, aimed at Humanities researchers, entitled “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data”. The module, which can be accessed at http://training.parthenos-project.eu/training-modules/, addresses concepts such as the FAIR Principles, Open Science, and Data Management Plans, with a viewpoint specific to the Humanities.
As Open Science becomes increasingly important to researchers in all disciplines, it is important that researchers ensure that their data is compliant with good practice guidelines and robust enough to facilitate sharing knowledge. The “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” module developed by PARTHENOS incorporates expertise from data practitioners across Europe in a range of sectors, including Cultural Heritage Institutions, Europeana, research infrastructures and national data services, and presents it through non-technical language and reusable resources.
Similar to the other training modules available from the PARTHENOS Training Suite, “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” offers both a linear path through the topics, and the option to pick and choose sections according to what the user is most interested in learning. Training materials used throughout the module, such as videos and presentation slides, are also available for lecturers and trainers to use in their own courses.
The “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” module is just one of many new resources being developed by the PARTHENOS project in 2018, which will also include a ‘Webinar’ series based around issues in e-Humanities and e-Heritage, beginning in February.
