Upcoming training: Zotero, Data management plan and Data repositories
• Remote training: Zotero, Thursday March 13, 2025, 5 to 7pm * (in English)
Zotero is a free open-source bibliography management application.
Learn how you can use this software to manage your bibliographical references in a simple, intuitive way – and find out what sets it apart from other tools.

• Remote training: Drawing up a data management plan for a research project, Tuesday March 18, 2025 from 2 to 5pm* (in French)
Do you need to draft a Data Management Plan (DMP) for your project without actually knowing what one is? Have you found yourself wondering how a DMP might be useful for you? Or have you had difficulties answering the questions you need to cover in a DMP?
This session is for you!
The CeRIS can help you understand how to produce a DMP, a document often required by funding bodies such as the ANR and the European Commission, which describes the data involved in a project and how it will be managed throughout its life cycle. You will learn how to use the tool DMP OPIDoR to produce your DMP collaboratively. And you can find out how the DMP can be useful in helping you improve your research project.
Aims of the training:
* Understand the questions that you need to address in a DMP
* Learn how to use the DMP OPIDoR tool to produce your DMP
* Be able to use the DMP as a tool to improve your project
The training session is aimed at scientists, engineers, postdoctoral fellows and project managers who may need to produce a DMP for their research project.
It will take place remotely (via Microsoft Teams) in French.

• In-person training: Choosing a data repository to share and improve the visibility of your research data, Wednesday April 9, 2025, 2 to 4pm and Wednesday April 16, 2025 2 to 3.30pm* (in English)
Do you want to publish the raw data related to a research paper? Is the funding body for your project asking you to share your data based on the principle "as open as possible, as closed as necessary"? Do you want to make your data available to the scientific community to improve the reproducibility of your research?
Data repositories are the most efficient solution to meet your needs: depending on the repository you choose, you can make your data openly accessible or subject to controlled access. And there's nothing better than a training course to help you find your way around the many repositories out there!
The course will help you to:
* understand how data repositories work and what they are for;
* find a repository that meets your needs;
* draw up a comparative list of different repositories.
Combining theory and practice, the training course takes place over two sessions. Between the sessions you will have the opportunity to analyze and test a repository and to ask the trainer any questions via Teams.
The training is aimed at any scientists who produce data and want to share their data via repositories.
Before you sign up:
* Make sure you will be able to take part in both sessions.
* The maximum number of participants is 8; spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
