Research outputs rarely tell the whole story. To kick off Data to Discovery this quarter, we’ll explore how documenting the process, context, and decisions behind your research can help you remember what you did, make your work understandable to others, and lay the groundwork for reproducibility and reuse.
The Data to Discovery Series is hosted by Research Data Services (RDS) @ the UCSB Library. Every two weeks, we will spotlight a key principle of working with data and engaging in open science. These 30-minute sessions provide quick introductions to practical tools, useful resources, and proven practices—alongside with opportunities to hear from experts and connect with fellow researchers. Whether you’re starting out or refining your workflow, Data to Discovery offers a welcoming space to strengthen your skills and spark new ideas.
