CANCELED: Finding, Reusing, and Citing Data in Harvard Dataverse Online
Happy Love Data Week 2023 "Data: Agent of Change"
Finding data to reuse for your own research is often challenging because it can be widely distributed across a large number of different repositories and websites, it may not be described very well, and it can be difficult to evaluate whether data you have found is suitable for your research needs. In this session, we will explore Harvard Dataverse to learn more about searching in a data repository and reusing secondary data, including how to read metadata to better understand datasets and appropriately citing and resharing datasets you reuse in your own research.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply general and Harvard Dataverse-specific data-finding principles to research strategies
- Evaluate data on Harvard Dataverse suitable for reuse
- Cite data according to best practices
