Dear Researchers

Publishing and sharing metadata of research data is required by many funders and publishers, and it is essential part of responsible research. CSC´s Qvain is a free and user-friendly way to publish metadata and get a permanent identifier (PID) for research data.

Have you got questions about how to use Qvain to describe your research data? In this workshop you will get practical tips on how to use Qvain and how you can increase the visibility and impact of your research outputs by linking outputs with each other using PID.

This is meant for researchers with some previous knowledge of Qvain.

The workshop will be at Kontinkangas in computer classroom KT285, on Wednesday, February 22nd at 9:00-11.00 am.

Register to the workshop no later than Monday 20th of February: Link.  The maximum number of participants is 16.

Note! An account to Qvain demo environment will be provided for all participants. If you wish to use this opportunity to describe your genuine research data in Qvain, it is possible. For that you need to have your personal CSC account ready. If you do not have it yet, please, apply for it beforehand from https://my.csc.fi/ (On that page: -> Get started -> Select authentication provider -> Haka).

Also, you can bring your own laptop.

Welcome!

Organized by Enska Virtanen, Marika Rauhala, Egle Gedrimiene, Jaana O. Liimatainen, Antti Viklund (Data Stewards), Tiina Sipola (Senior Information Specialist) and Miki Kallio (Senior Specialist, Science Policy)
