Welcome to our seminars and workshops in the field of scholarly communication, for doctoral students, researchers and other employees at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. The team working with research support at the HT Libraries also organises meetings/workshops for research groups, departments covering subjects such as Open Access, evaluation of publications, data management, as well as other aspects of scholarly communication.

Do you have any questions with regards to registering, or updating your information in LUCRIS? Perhaps regarding publications, activities or how to relate them to one another? In advance of the annual research review, the HT Libraries arrange a drop-in workshop where you can get assistance using LUCRIS. Other questions are of course also welcome.

The session is available for employees at the HT Faculties. You find us in the computer room at the second floor of the SOL Library. Advance registration is not necessary.

EndNote introduction

EndNote is a reference management program used for saving references, creating bibliographies and keeping track of full texts. We offer an introduction to EndNote, for both beginners and those in need of a refresher. There is time for questions after the presentation.

If you are currently using the program and have questions regarding advanced functions, you are welcome to contact per.carlehedenhtbibl.luse.

The session is available for employees at the HT Faculties. Advance registration is not necessary.

CANCELLED! Data Dilemmas: Social Media

Wednesday April 1, 13.00-15.00 (LUX: B352)

Rescheduled to October 6, 13.00-15.00

What challenges may you encounter when researching social media? What issues and aspects must be taken into consideration when handling such research data? We invite you to a discussion based on examples from research projects at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Anna W. Gustafsson, senior lecturer in the Swedish language, contributes with examples of using data from the Sweden Democrats’ social media comment sections, and from blogs about cancer. Nils Gustafsson, researcher at the Department of Strategic Communication, will focus on Facebook and other platforms from a research data perspective. Lund University experts on ethical and legal issues, data protection and information security, will also be there.

For employees at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology and the Faculty of Social Sciences. No pre-registration is necessary but we welcome questions in advance! Write to us at forskningsstodhtbibl.luse or refsambib.luse.

How to Create a Data Management Plan for your Research Project

Wednesday April 22, 10.15-12.00, via Zoom

Are you in the middle of writing your research application? Do have any questions on how to prepare your data management plan? A data management plan (DMP) helps you manage your data, in terms of organisation, storage and preservation. We give an introduction to the details that usually need to be included in a DMP, and look at some handy tools and links to useful resources. We will also take a look at Lund University's new system for data management plans (due to be launched in February). There will be plenty of time to discuss your DMP questions. Please bring your DMP or take this opportunity to start your draft!

Taking the time to write a good DMP gives you an opportunity to think through how to organise your data and what this means in terms of time and money. Attaching a DMP to your research application shows that you have given thought to how you will manage your data, and can answer questions such as:

• What kind of data will you collect or create?
• Are there ethical issues that need consideration?
• Which data should be retained, shared, and/or preserved?

Increasingly, funders require a DMP as part of the application for research funding and it may be an advantage to already be familiar with how to prepare one.

More on Data Management Plans and a checklist can be found on our web pages on research data management.

The session is available for employees at the HT Faculties. Please register your interest to forskningsstodhtbibl.luse by April 17. You are welcome to get in touch with questions in advance!
