Enhance Your Research Skills with SSH Open Marketplace: An Online Workshop for PhD Students
Are you a PhD student in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) looking to elevate your research skills? Join us for an interactive online workshop designed to help you leverage the SSH Open Marketplace—a comprehensive discovery portal that connects you with the best resources for every stage of your research data life cycle.
Workshop Highlights:
- Learn how to navigate the platform to uncover essential resources for SSH research.
- Explore a curated collection of over 6,000 items sourced from 15+ trusted providers, research communities, and individual researchers.
- Gain insights into research practices and solutions for each step of the research data life cycle.
- Discover tools and methodologies that promote sharing and re-use of workflows.
- Understand the importance of community involvement in cataloguing and contextualizing resources.
- Learn about the roles of stakeholders, including funders, providers, moderators, and contributors, in maintaining a meaningful and relevant platform.
- Explore the curation routines performed by the Editorial Board, blending automatic and manual tasks, to maintain and improve metadata quality.
- Understand the mechanisms in place for continuous updates and improvements based on community feedback.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is tailored for PhD students in the Social Sciences and Humanities who are eager to expand their research skills and utilize innovative tools and resources available through the SSH Open Marketplace.
Empowering Future Scholars: Supporting PhD students’ training needs
Community Engagement WG is happy to announce that our proposal for the fourth Working Groups (WG) Funding Scheme Call for the years 2023-2025 was selected for funding. 🏆 We are thrilled to start our project on supporting PhD students’ training needs. 🥳
In the previous funding cycle, the WG Community Engagement undertook a comprehensive survey to investigate the training needs of PhD students (link to the report). With this coming project, the findings of this study will be put into practice to develop and deliver training materials, showcase best practices and enrich existing catalogues of tools and workflows.
The Community Engagement Working Group is going to host one in-person and three online workshops to help PhD students from different humanities disciplines without much prior experience get started with DH methods.
The developed education and training materials will increase intercommunity collaboration and provide a valuable resource for emerging scholars. We hope that through the integration of the developed material and workflows with the SSH marketplace, the project will be a good addition to existing tools and services.
