SUMMARY:Webinar - Once upon a data steward
DESCRIPTION:This Webinar\, presented by Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza\, explores the growing importance of data availability and management in modern research.  The session will also introduce the emerging role of the Data Steward\, a new type of digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) who ensures data quality and usability throughout its lifecycle. The webinar also unveils CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research)\, a new four-year initiative designed to support and empower Data Stewards as central figures in the research lifecycle. \nThe recording of this webinar is now available on YouTube \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Abstract\n​Data availability and usage across all research domains is becoming exponentially more necessary as research methods transition into\, and more routinely embrace\, computation and advanced technologies. This research data growth presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges but requires investment in human expertise to maximize its potential. In many disciplines\, the expertise and effort required to make data FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable) is vastly underestimated. Project researchers frequently lack time or appropriate knowledge to do this\, resulting in substantial research data that are not fit for re-use. Ultimately\, this responsibility and expertise should not lie with researchers. Much like the rise of specialist roles such as research software engineers and data scientists\, there is a new specialist digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) role that is gathering traction\, the Data Steward – they are the key to bridging the gap between data generation and reuse\, as they have a fundamental role that ensures the quality\, accuracy\, accessibility and longevity of data across the entire data lifecycle.  \nJoin me to hear about the importance of the role of data stewardship\, and to find out all about my brand new initiative CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research)\, a dedicated four year Network+ for Data Stewards that empowers them to play a central role in the research lifecycle. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Biography\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \nDr Samantha Pearman-Kanza is Senior Enterprise Fellow at the University of Southampton. She is the Principal Investigator for the Careers and Skills for Data-driven Research Network\, and the Pathfinder Lead on Process Recording for the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) Initiative – www.psdi.ac.uk. \nSamantha sits on the Advisory Boards for the Future Labs Live Conference in Basel\, London Labs Live in the UK\, the Machines Learning Chemistry Project at the University of Nottingham\, and the Knowledger Project at the University of North Florida\, in addition to being a member of the UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) STRIX Committee. She is also a regular columnist for the Lab Horizons Magazine under the name CompSci Cat\, discussing important issues around process recording and FAIR data.  Samantha’s key research areas are ELNs\, process recording\, FAIR data\, data stewardship and research data management\, and semantic web technologies. \n​ \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Watch the recording\n\n\n You can watch the recording of this webinar via our YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Small habits for big impact: three small steps to promote research transparency
DESCRIPTION:Register here:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QidltXrJS3Sn7uhyoKpcsw \nThis Webinar\, presented by Dr. Louise Saul\, offers a practical and focused approach to making Open Research more transparent and manageable. Aimed at physical scientists\, data managers\, research software engineers\, and academic librarians\, it introduces three simple\, actionable changes to embed transparency into research workflows\, with real-world examples\, habit-forming tips\, and space for discussion. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Abstract\n​‘Open Research’ is a wastebasket term that encompasses transparency in the planning\, dissemination\, and sharing of research outputs. Planning how to make your outputs transparent can feel like an overwhelming box-ticking exercise\, which is why this webinar focuses on ‘3 simple things’ – three ways small changes you can implement to promote the transparency of your research. This webinar will be focused on outputs from physical sciences and aims to introduce ways in which these practices can become habit. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Biography\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \n  \nAfter completing her PhD in physical chemistry\, Louise worked a post-doctoral fellow at KCL\, Edinburgh\, and Southampton\, specialising in the role of interactions of proteins of the immune system in immune priming. She currently works as an Open Research Coordinator and Administrator with the UK Reproducibility Network’s Open Research Programme and the PSDI\, based at the Hartley Library in the University of Southampton. \n​ \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register for this webinar\nRegister for this webinar directly through zoom:https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QidltXrJS3Sn7uhyoKpcsw \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The PSDI team looks forward to seeing you at the webinar\, if you have any questions you can always get in contact with us.
