Building Research and Data Science Skills with Yale Library (Session 2)

This short course on research strategies explores the most effective ways to organize and pursue research, manage your scholarly identity online, and begin to learn the tools of data science for the humanities and social sciences. The course begins with an overview of literature reviews and researching datasets, and then explores citation tools that help you to track source use in responsible way. The next session delves into developing one’s online scholarly identity, including understanding online scholarly metrics and academic social networking. The second half of the course will cover data science tools for research. You will learn the steps to retrieve, prepare, and visualize data using tools such as OpenRefine and Tableau Public, and how to tell the story of your research using tools such as ArcGIS StoryMaps. The goal is to explore how the foundational work of research, analysis, and communication can be enhanced by a curated set of online tools. 4 Sessions (2 hours each): June 11, 13, 18, 20 (10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. EST)
