Searching for research data (teaching material for PhDs and researchers)
Research data is not collected and indexed in the same way as literature, and there are no standardised search strategies. Therefore, when searching for research data, you will likely experience a very different process compared to a more “conventional” search for literature.
On this page, you will find teaching materials focusing on how to search for research data specifically. The teaching materials consist of a PowerPoint presentation and a teacher’s guide.
Searching for Research Data is originally designed as a 4-hour course targeting PhD students and researchers. It is comprised of 6 sections that can be combined depending on how much time is available as well as the participants’ prior knowledge of the field.
The course alternates between traditional classroom teaching and different activities: short hands-on exercises; a longer workshop section where the participants get the opportunity to turn their new knowledge into skills and experience; and a concluding reflective exercise to wrap up the course.
Before you begin, we recommend that you download and read the teacher’s guide (see below) to get an overview of the course and the activities. In the teacher’s guide, you will also find suggestions for alternative ways to mix and match the slides for different teaching scenarios and time frames. Please see the appendix attached to the guide for the handouts (to be used in the course).
