Digital Collaboration Spaces through UCT - Digital Scholar Series Online
Working in a research group can be quite exciting, and the outputs that come out of collaborative work can be extremely valuable. However, it is not always easy to find a space to keep track of all the comings and goings of data. In this session, we look at platforms, provided through UCT, that enhance collaboration between researchers and assist them to work together. We will look at SharePoint (Microsoft), the Open Science Framework (OSF) and ZivaHub as collaboration tools to see which might suit your project best. After this session, you will transform into unstoppable digital collaborators!

The Digital Library Services (DLS) department of UCT Libraries will be continuing their Digital Scholar Series in the first 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.
