[ICPSR] "Getting to Know ICPSR" Webinar Series – Overviews of Research Data Access & Training Services

[Linda Detterman]

For those new to ICPSR, exploring membership, or those desiring to refresh
their knowledge on ICPSR and the research data services it provides, ICPSR
will broadcast several webinars covering the data lifecycle – from data
deposit options, to access options, to training and educational
opportunities. Part of the 2014 ICPSR Data Fair, webinars (with
registration links) to help you get to know ICPSR include the following:



*Understanding ICPSR - An Orientation to ICPSR*

*Broadcast time (EDT): Monday, October 6, Noon (12:00pm)*

*Registration link:* https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/612893298 Sh

New to ICPSR or considering membership in ICPSR? New to the Official or
Designated Representative (OR/DR) role? Tasked with educating (training)
your institution about what is available from ICPSR and its hosted archives
and need tools and content to assist? Need to better understand the
benefits of membership in ICPSR? This session is for you!



Learning Objectives:

1.       Understand and explain what ICPSR offers to the data community,
including faculty, students, and others affiliated with your organization,
across numerous disciplines.

2.       Understand what options are available to individuals who need:

o    To deposit research data

o    To analyze data for articles or papers

o    Training in or teaching quantitative methods or data curation

o    Data management plans and quotes for inclusion in grant proposals and
budgets

3.       Understand, in an era of public access data, why membership in
ICPSR matters!





*What Should I Do with My Research Data? Understanding Deposit Options at
ICPSR*

*Broadcast time (EDT):* *Thursday, October 9,  1:00pm*

*Registration link:* https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/652515354

Public-access, members-only access, replication archive, special data
collections, restricted-use, curated versus bit-level – what data deposit
do I choose? And what disciplines are served by these data-sharing
services? ICPSR and its hosted archives provide many options for depositing
data. Curious or confused about what deposit options are best for your data
and/or your institution’s data? This session will define and demonstrate
data deposit options at ICPSR.



Learning Objectives:

1.       Keen understanding of ICPSR deposit options from the perspective
of the data depositor (PI) AND the data user

2.       Ability to identify when data should be considered for
restricted-use access (versus on-demand public-use)

3.       Understanding of curated data and its impact on increased
utilization and preservation compared to bit-level preservation



*Sharing Restricted-Use Data with the Public – Options for Deposit and
Access from ICPSR*

*Broadcast time (EDT): Tuesday, October 7, 1:00pm*

*Registration link:* https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/527285570

What is restricted-use data? How is it deposited in ICPSR? How do analysts
access restricted-use data housed at ICPSR? This tell-all session will
unravel the mysteries of depositing, applying for, and accessing data that
is sensitive and/or needs extra security precautions to ensure protections
of research subjects.



Learning Objectives:

1.       Be able to recognize when data should be reviewed for
restricted-use access; know the questions to ask to ensure the proper
deposit; understand the difference between direct and indirect identifiers

2.       Understand the general process of applying for use/analysis of
restricted-use data held by ICPSR

3.       Understand the different access methods (encrypted download;
virtual data enclave (VDE); physical enclave)



*Public Access Data Sharing at ICPSR: Update on the State of openICPSR*

*Broadcast time (EDT):* *Wednesday, October 8, 3:00pm*

*Registration link:* https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/458825562

In February 2014, ICPSR launched a public data sharing service known as
‘openICPSR.’ openICPSR is a research data-sharing service for the social
and behavioral sciences that allows the public to access research data at
no charge. The service is designed to meet evolving federal agency data
sharing and preservation requirements.

This session will reflect upon the first several months of the service,
provide updates on features in development for the service, and provide a
peek into Institutional openICPSR – a data sharing service developed for
institutions and journals who desire a branded, public data-sharing
institutional service fully hosted by ICPSR.



Learning Objectives

1.       Learn about the current status and future of openICPSR, deposits
and usage during the beta period , and plans for the future

2.       Hear about the results of research conducted with institutions and
journals on what features are desired in an institutional data sharing
service

3.       See what features and solutions are available for institutions and
journals desiring their own public data-sharing service that is powered by
openICPSR technology



*Data, Data Everywhere and Not a Number to Teach!*

*Broadcast time (EDT):* *Thursday, October 9,  Noon (12:00pm)*

Sifting through the many megabytes of data with which we are bombarded each
day takes practice. This webinar will focus on teaching students how to
evaluate the data with which they come in contact (think Joel Best’s
books…). We will also present a variety of sources for “numbers” that can
be used in teaching and examples of their use. Because working with
numerical evidence is as much or more a mindset as it is a set of
mathematical skills, the content should be especially helpful for faculty
who might otherwise consider themselves “non-quantitative.”
