The Research Data website provides information to support researchers across the lifecycle of research data. This starts with foundational information that informs the lifecycle, as well as steps shown in the wheel, from planning to stewarding – the decisions made at the end of a research project. These webpages include informative segments, plus links to resources at UNL and external information.
New and Upcoming Opportunities
RCIS Fall Trainings
This fall, Research Compliance, Integrity and Security is offering educational opportunities designed to support researchers, study teams, administrators and campus partners in navigating compliance, research integrity and research security requirements. Topics will include human subjects research, post-approval IRB responsibilities, collaborative research oversight, and international travel and research security considerations.
Applied Data Cleaning Workshop
Do you have data that is not ready for analysis? Are you unsure what all you need to do with “dirty” data? In this workshop, we will go through what data cleaning means, what you should know in preparation for data cleaning, and best practices before working with a provided dataset in Excel to fix common issues found in “dirty” data. Workshop is October 20th, from noon-5pm, registration required. Bring your own laptop.
Prepare Your Data for Openness
Adopting open data practices can improve collaboration, safeguard data, and help researchers get ahead of data sharing requirements from funders and publishers. Data sharing and transparency can benefit science and increase researcher impact. But what does it take to make data genuinely open? Join the Libraries for a workshop over Zoom on Friday, October 23rd, 2026, to learn strategies for meaningfully open data, offer choices in data sharing, describe some limitations of openness, and help researchers get a jump start preparing data for openness.
