ACU Library regularly hosts free online workshops to support graduate researchers. Here’s what’s coming up for the rest of the semester.
Thursday 8 October, 11am - 12noon
Join this session to explore different types of research reviews, learn how to refine your research question, and discover best-practice approaches for planning your review. We'll also cover developing and testing search strategies, managing and documenting results, and the library support available to help you along the way.
Learn how to apply the FAIR Data Principles to make your research data more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. This session explores practical ways to implement FAIR data practices across ACU research projects and outputs, helping you make informed decisions about managing and sharing your data. The first in a three-part Research Data Management series at ACU.
Let's talk about data management plans (DMPs) at ACU. A DMP is a living document that helps you plan, organise, and manage your research data throughout the entire research lifecycle, from project planning through to publication and beyond. Join this session to explore DMPs at ACU and learn how they can help you stay organised, compliant, and confident in your data management practices.
Thursday 5 November, 1pm - 2pm
Sensitive data identifies individuals, species, objects or locations and carries a risk of causing harm, unwanted attention or discrimination. This does not necessarily prevent storage, sharing, or publication, but requires methods for de-identification, informed consent, and sensitive licensing. Join this session to make sure you’re informed on how to handle sensitive data in a careful and compliant way.
