Flowers, cards and candy are all optional for Love Data Week, an international celebration of data designed to raise awareness and build a community to engage on topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, reuse and research data services.
WVU Libraries has created a slate of workshops that address these topics.
The 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy
Find out how the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy will affect applying for and complying with NIH grants and learn about important considerations when creating a Data Management and Sharing Plan for your grant application.
Register for the Monday, Feb. 13, from 10-11 a.m. workshop
Licensing your Data for Open Science
If I deposit data from my own experiment, can I control how other people use it? Can data be copyrighted? Why should I openly license my data? In this workshop, we will explore questions such as these, and give suggestions on data sharing and reuse, as well as why openly licensing your data can avoid copyright issues for international collaboration.
