Depositing research data into digital data repositories in support of their long-term stewardship is increasingly becoming a required component of the research process.

Join us for an applied session where topics covered include the importance and benefits of data deposit, impending Tri-Agencies requirements related to data sharing, and how data deposit supports open science and the visibility and impact of research. An overview of the University of Alberta Library’s freely available research data repository, Borealis-Dataverse, including its key features will be offered.

There will be at the end for questions and discussion.
