Event Date: 
Thursday, February 13, 2025 - 10:00am to 11:30am EST
Event Location: 
In-person (LI 1003)

Description

Developing a skill for analyzing qualitative data (e.g., interviews, texts, scraped web contents) is essential for researchers in social sciences and humanities who focus on data other than quantitative data. This workshop is for beginners as it will introduce the participants to the importance of qualitative data analysis, and how to get started with using NVivo software.
 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
• understand the importance of qualitative data
• get familiarized with NVivo interface and functionality
• upload recorded interviews, audio files, pdf, word documents and other file formats into NVivo
• get started with developing codes
• identify alternative (free) qualitative data analysis software.

Getting started with Open Access Publishing

Event Date: 
Tuesday, January 21, 2025 - 10:30am to 11:30am EST
Event Location: 
Online

Description

Open access (OA) is imperative for ensuring free and unrestricted access to scientific knowledge. It can help to increase the visibility of research, and in return, widen the reach, impact and citation of researchers. Funding agencies (e.g., Tri-Council) are now requiring that research funded by them should be published OA either through OA journals or postprint deposit in institutional repositories. This makes OA publishing a pivotal part of the research cycle for Lakehead University faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate research students.
 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
• understand OA publishing routes
• identify the pros and cons of OA publishing
• understand how to retain copyright while publishing in non-OA journals (if necessary)
• identify resources available for publishing OA, such as article processing charges waivers and discounts for Lakehead University faculty, researchers, and students
• locate quality OA journals in your discipline

NSERC is partnering with the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) funding opportunity. The DMREF program offers a unique opportunity for Canadian academic researchers to team up with their US colleagues as interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically to build the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design and development of materials in pursuit of the following goals:

 

  • Unify the Materials Innovation Infrastructure (MII), a framework of integrating advanced modelling, computational and experimental tools, and quantitative data
  • Harness the power of materials data
  • Educate, train, and connect the materials research and development workforce

 

Canadian researchers must be working with an American principal investigator. Applications are due on February 4, 2025.
