Managing Research Data
Time: 10:00-11:00am
Date: Wednesday 7th December, 2011
Venue: V714, Level 7, Library, Gardens Point
Funding bodies and governments now often have specific requirements for data management. For example, in ARC Funding Agreement for Discovery Projects for 2010, http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/dp/dp_fundingagreement.htm data management requirements are in Section 20, on page 18. There are also fundamental data management issues that apply to most disciplines, formats, and projects. A data management plan will not only help you properly manage your research data for your own use, but also ensure you meet funder requirements and/or enable data sharing in the future. This seminar will explore and discuss the main issues that should be the focus of any data management plan.

Tracking Research Impact
Time: 10:00-11:30pm
Date: Thursday 8th December, 2011
Venue: V712, Level 7, Library, Gardens Point
This hands-on workshop will allow you to explore a range of tools that demonstrate impact of research publications. Citation metrics and webometrics are increasingly used to track research impact and demonstrate the influence of research. Citation analysis makes it possible to understand the impact of a particular work (journal article, conference paper, book) as indicated by citations by other scholars.
