SUMMARY:From Messy Data to Clean Datasets: A Practical Introduction to OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Messy and inconsistent data is a common challenge in research\, often making it difficult to analyse\, share\, and reuse data effectively. Improving data quality is therefore a key step towards more reproducible research and better alignment with Open Science and FAIR principles. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will introduce OpenRefine\, an open-source tool designed to help researchers explore\, clean\, and transform messy tabular data. OpenRefine is particularly useful for working with spreadsheets and datasets containing inconsistencies such as duplicate entries\, varying formats\, or typographical errors. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a short introduction to the types of data challenges OpenRefine can address\, followed by a live demonstration showing how to work with real data. The demo will highlight key features and how these can be used to efficiently identify and resolve inconsistencies in datasets. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these approaches can be applied in your own research context. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience with OpenRefine is required.  \n\n\n\nElisavet Torstensson\, SciLifeLab\, Data Steward NBIS- FEGA Sweden Helpdesk Team- Elixir Sweden \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Research Data Management in Life Science - Linköping
DESCRIPTION:Location: Linköping University – Campus University Hospital. On-site event arranged by SciLifeLab Linköping \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nNote: It is important to bring a laptop to actively participate in the workshops.  \n\n\n\nDiscover how to effectively manage\, share\, and safeguard your research data through practical guidance from both local and national experts. Engage in discussions on best practices grounded in the FAIR principles and Open Science. \n\n\n\nSciLifeLab Data Centre\, National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) and the LiU legal office welcome all life-science researchers and infrastructure experts in Linköping to join this event where we explore support for research data handling\, GDPR and data management practices according to Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles and Open Science.  \n\n\n\nWe specifically invite SciLifeLab Group leaders\, Fellows and WCMM Fellows\, and all PhD´s and PostDocs in their research groups to join this interactive event. \n\n\n\nThis event is informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\nNote: It is important to bring a laptop to actively participate in the workshops.  \n\n\n\n10.00-10.15: Welcome coffee/tea\nEveryone is welcome for the coffee/tea. You can just walk in between 10.00-10.15. \n\n\n\n\n10.15-10.30: Introduction\nIntroduction of the program.   \n\n\n\n\n10:30-12:00: Writing a strong Data Management Plan (DMP) – Improving the lifecycle of your research data\nManaging research data involves a complex web of decisions. How do you ensure nothing falls through the cracks and that your data remains FAIR? The answer is a Data Management Plan (DMP). \n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop emphasises data management planning at all project phases to keep your data secure and organised. Participants will gain direct access to the Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) tool to begin drafting a customised DMP tailored to life science research projects. \n\n\n\nRelated content \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n12.00-13.00: Lunch break\nLunch is not included in this event. At Linköping University and the surrounding campus you will find several options for lunch.  \n\n\n\n\n13.00-14.30: Handling personal data in Life Science – Navigating GDPR and Swedish legislation\nAre you confident in how your research project documents and processes personal data? This seminar guides you through the legal landscape\, from the GDPR to specific Swedish national laws. Using a practical research scenario\, we will clarify essential roles and terms\, including: \n\n\n\n\nResearch principal (forskningshuvudman): Understanding the role and responsibilities of the organisation hosting the research.\n\n\n\nData controllers vs. processors: Identifying who is responsible for each stage of data processing.\n\n\n\nSensitive data: Best practices for securely sharing biomedical research data in FEGA Sweden while remaining compliant.\n\n\n\n\n\n14.30-15.30: Marketplace: an interactive exhibition – including fika\nVisit the Interactive Marketplace to explore local and national research data management services in an engaging and informal setting. Meet experts\, discover practical support and tools\, join interactive discussions\, and learn how different services can support your research — all through inspiring stands\, conversation-focused posters\, and hands-on activities like the Data Management Ferris Wheel.Interested in contributing to the Marketplace and showcasing your data management support services? Please contact josefine.sandstrom@liu.se. \n\n\n\n\n15.30-17.00: Open source software for research – Sharing code the right way\nResearch depends on software\, but without open and FAIR practices\, software can be difficult to understand\, reproduce\, and reuse. Open-source software means code that is not only available\, but also licensed for free use\, modification\, and sharing. This workshop provides an overview of open science and FAIR software practices\, and introduces a practical checklist for open and FAIR research software. Participants will apply these principles in a hands-on tutorial to improve the openness\, transparency\, and reusability of their research code. \n\n\n\n\n17.00: End of the event\nThe event will end at 17.00. Thank you all for participating.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMore information on Research Data Management and Open Science\n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project.
