Description
UBC Workshop 2: Documentation Writing and ELN
Shelves overflowing with stacks of lab-notebooks? Having a hard time retrieving old data or understanding codes in them?
Presentation:
This session will briefly introduce you with a set of research data management essentials to apply immediately in your daily work; sketch the bigger picture about the transtition from data to knowledge, and finishes with the importance of provenance in scientific work and narrating resarch for future re-use.
Secondly, you will be familiarised with electronic lab notebooks. eLABjournal and Jupyter are the ELN's of choice for this session.
Hands-On:
The first exercise offers you the opportunity to try out different strucutres of how to write a readme-file and possibly helps you find the most natural way of writing these for your specific type of research.
The second and longer interactive session readies demos for eLABjournal or Jupyter notebooks to get a feeling of an electronic aid and the potential benefits of switichng to a digital environment for documenting your work.
This session is wrapped up with a discussion and Q&A section.
