Finding and accessing data for your project is a resource to help with the challenge of finding relevant data for a project. It includes information, videos, and worksheets, covering topics such as searching for data, evaluating the usefulness of data, and understanding data access conditions.
What’s next
We hope these resources, our website with a Creative taiwan rcs data Commons License, help those supervising and doing dissertations. Videos and worksheets can be accessed directly from our site or embedded in existing dissertation resources.
But we also think there is more we can do. At present, we are looking at three further areas of work.
First, we are seeking to develop a broader range of dissertation case studies that include student voices and present secondary analysis as something achievable to all students.
We are looking at extending our resources that help students identify relevant data for their project through resources that introduce data for research on popular topics.
And to help those that do take the plunge, there will be resources on common challenges involved in using data such as practical guides for dealing with missing data or managing large files.
But also, we want the conversation to continue and to hear from lectures and students what they think can help future students. If you have any thoughts, ideas or queries please email us at.
