Lets tell your data analysis story using pictures! But which is the best data visualisation tool for your needs? Finding the right tool may take some trial and error, so in this session we will look at a number of options, from Excel to Tableau to ggplot, to show various possibilities. We will also share some principles for getting your data ready for visualisation, as well as outlining available choices when designing graphic data outputs.

The Digital Library Services (DLS) department of UCT Libraries will be continuing their Digital Scholar Series in the second semester of 2024. Presenters from DLS will showcase some of the practises and tools available to enhance your research skills, with an ongoing focus on managing your research data efficiently.
These sessions are open to all postgraduate researchers and staff working within any field of study at UCT. The topics covered deal with the management of digital materials for research (what some of us call ‘data’) and touch on digital topics throughout the research lifecycle. The sessions are aimed at making your digital scholarship more efficient, so that your data gives you less hassle and you have more time to focus on your teaching, learning and research. Our primary focus in the second half of the year will be on topics covering the middle and later stages of the research process, such as updating your Data Management Plan, cleaning your data, as well as best practices for sharing - highlighting work with sensitive data and using licences for publishing.
After registering for the event, you will receive an email with a calendar invite attached. All sessions will start at 1 PM with the topics and dates listed below. The sessions will be hosted on MS Teams and will last 45 minutes, with an extra 15 minutes for questions or discussion. DLS staff will be present to moderate the chat and to help answer your questions as they come up.
