Hi everyone !

Getting and cleaning data tends to be the most tedious part of research, however sometimes it's just unavoidable. How imagine if there were tools to help you get and clean your messy data. Research life would be so much better!

To help with this, Research Platforms Services will conduct two (yes, two!) back-to-back trainings spaning across four days.

The first training is about getting your data using survey tools . You will learn how to get your web survey out using Google Forms and mobile data collection using Kobo Toolbox . This training will be done on 28-29 September 2015 1pm-4pm. See more and register here : http://resbaz-survey-tools-beginners-alpha.eventbrite.com.au

The second training is about cleaning up messy data . You will learn about how to keep your spreadsheet data clean and we will try a tool called Open Refine to help you inspect, identify, and clean messy data. This training will be on 30 Sept - 1 Oct 2015 1pm-4pm. See more and register yourself here : http://resbaz-data-cleaning-beginners-alpha.eventbrite.com.au

Please note that these trainings are currently in alpha version. This means that training materials are currently under continuous development. Expect things to change and evolve dynamically during the training session.

Rain did not stop the ResBaz team doing a speed dating session with the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences a few weeks ago!

So, what is speed dating ? Speed dating is an event where researchers have the chance to meet and chat with Research Community Coordinators of the Research Bazaar Team and see the various tools that can help their research. See more on speed dating here and here.

The event was a hit! With students & researchers from various GSHSS programs coming together and finding the tool of their dreams. We had people from Education, Linguistics, Communications and Public Policy among many others. We had a variety of tools on show during the event such as survey & spreadsheet tools such as Google Forms , Kobo Toolbox, and Open Refine. We also had Authorea for document collaboration, Nvivo for qualitative analysis, and Omeka for digital library collection.
