Digital Engagement (7): Toolkits for Data Analysis
May 5, 2017
One key thing that researchers across different disciplines have in common is research data. This can take many different forms, is often stored and structured in databases or spreadsheets, which helps researchers to manipulate, visualize and analyse the data in useful ways. Other researchers might be able to make use of the data for their research, …
Transcription Services: A First Step Toward Safe Use
May 2, 2017
Researchers who carry out interviews or focus groups will typically digitally record the audio for later reference and analysis. This data will then get transcribed by the researchers or via a transcription service for a set fee. When using a service, researchers will transmit the audio files to the provider, who then carries out the transcription and …
Research Data and Software Agreements: Digital Research Case Study 14 2017
The Digital Research Team are here to help researchers make best use of digital technology for their work. An intriguing side-effect of this is the increasing need to effectively govern and manage the risk around the use of digital technologies creating new demands on researchers within the digital context. For example, a researcher who creates …
