Open hour SSH: live Q&A

Meet us at the Open Hour every Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) community.
The Open Hour is a Q&A on Open Science, data storage and Research Data Management.

  • What data can I deposit at DANS?
  • How do I make my data FAIR?
  • Can I share data that holds personal information?
  • What meta data standards do I have to use?
  • How do I store video data sustainably?

All these questions and more can be asked live during the Open Hour.

 

News

To deposit data in the DANS Data Stations, you need to create an account. Previously, it was already possible to log in using an institutional account via SURFconext, GitHub, or even Google. Now, you can also use ORCIDs, the unique personal identifiers for researchers.

This project tackles bottlenecks in sharing sensitive research data in the social sciences and humanities. A key feature of this initiative is a series of three in-person workshops, designed to give researchers the tools and insights needed to share sensitive data responsibly.

A new version of the ODISSEI Portal, the place to find social science datasets in the Netherlands, was launched this week, in which important steps have been made in terms of metadata.
