designing and conducting research and other scholarly activities

This workshop describes the key habits that our research and experience with thousands of students shows will make a difference to how quickly and easily you complete your research degree. Just as importantly, these habits can greatly reduce the stress and increase the pleasure involved in completing a PhD.

This workshop provides an overview of the principles of data management, including best practices for documentation and file management.  We will share some useful tools for making your data management workflow easier.

This workshop is offered by Stanford Libraries' Center for Interdisciplinary Research as part of its mission to provide training in technical academic research practices and applied research methods.
