At the beginning of your research project one of the first things to consider is what data you'll need to answer your research question, and how you're going to collect it.
In today's high volume and data-rich environment it is pertinent to ask the question “what data exist out there that I can reuse?”.
In this workshop, we will explore:
Your data has a longer lifespan and wider applications than you may realise. Sharing well preserved data can boost opportunities for further research, learning, and innovation; which extends the footprint of your impact.
There are benefits and challenges in preserving and sharing research data, and there are tools available to make the process easier.
In this workshop, we will explore:

It is highly recommended, if you are not already familiar with search techniques, that you should also attend our literature searching workshops.
Audience:
UTS Librarians will discuss the differences between a systematic search and a systematic review as well as tips and techniques for composing an appropriate research question that will guide your search or review.
This session will also look at other types of reviews such as scoping and rapid reviews, and the guidelines and standards used for Systematic Reviews.
Audience:
Do you want to find most relevant articles from your search, but don’t want to get too many irrelevant results? Use the advanced features of library databases to search more effectively.
