AUSSDA is inviting you to join a workshop by Data Carpentry specifically aimed at doctoral students of Social Sciences: Data Carpentry’s aim is to teach researchers basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain. There is no prior knowledge required. This workshop teaches data management and analysis for social science research including best practices for data organization in spreadsheets, reproducible data cleaning with OpenRefine, and data analysis and visualization in R, and is tailored to early career researchers. The workshop is free of charge and will be hosted in English and online over the course of two days: May 5 and 6 from 9 am to 5 pm.
Please note that the number of participants is limited.
