The Pitfalls of Data Portals: A Look at Cross-National Homicide Rates Webinar
September 8, 2021 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
On Wednesday, September 8, the QMC will host Dr. Manuel Eisner of the University of Cambridge for a presentation on using data provided by open-access portals (e.g., World Health Organization, UNICEF). Dr. Eisner is the Director of the Violence Research Centre at the University of Cambridge and has published over 100 journal articles and book chapters on interpersonal violence.
International organizations provide data on education, health, and child well-being and data from such portals help researchers address important research questions, but sometimes how the data are used leads to bad science. Join us for this Zoom presentation on the applicability and perils of using data provided by open-access portals. We’ll send a reminder email and Zoom link the day before the presentation to all registrants.
