Join the University Libraries’ Copyright Services for a workshop on strategies and considerations for negotiating terms of your publishing agreement. We will discuss common phrases found in scholarly journal publishing agreements, the implications of those terms for future scholarship and research, and tactics for retaining the rights that are important to you. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to review a sample agreement to identify potential areas for negotiation.

Demystifying Research: Introduction to Scholarly Publishing for Humanities Researchers (Virtual Event)
Experts from the Libraries and The Ohio State University Press share tips for new humanities researchers navigating the scholarly publishing process. Through a series of real-life scenarios, attendees will learn how to develop strategies to identify appropriate publishers or publications for their dissertations, book chapters, and articles; understand their rights as an author; anticipate copyright and permissions considerations for including third-party content; explore open access opportunities and more. The discussion will focus on research in the humanities, but all are welcome to attend!
Demystifying Research: Beyond the Archives: Exploring Community Collections and Data (Virtual Event)
Many archives exist outside of universities and museums; there are community collections and digitized artifacts that are valuable resources for researchers. This is especially true for those who are focused on underrepresented populations. This panel will feature a roundtable discussion with librarians who have interfaced with archives, digital collections, data, and other materials about and/or produced by underrepresented global communities. Participants will share their experiences as well as recommendations for expanding your research to consider and include more diverse sources and voices. Finally, they will discuss ethics and best practices for engaging with these collections.
Demystifying Research: Archives and Research Methods (Workshop)
OSU archivists, curators, and librarians will offer graduate students from all disciplines a hands-on introduction to archives and archival research methods. Topics covered will include finding and accessing archives and special collections, analyzing archival sources, and formulating research questions and projects using archival materials. No prior experience using special collections or archives is necessary.
Demystifying Research: Research and Citation Management Made Simple (Workshop)
Drowning in a sea of research files and sources? Struggling with disorganized and misplaced files? Conducting research can quickly lead to an overwhelming collection of articles, datasets, and notes. In this workshop, we’ll share practical strategies for developing an efficient filing system and for managing citations effectively. Graduate students in any discipline and at any stage of their programs will learn best practices for file organization, versioning, and citation management, ensuring their research stays tidy and accessible from start to finish. Registration is required.
High-Quality Math Learning and Family Engagement Among Black Preschoolers and Their Families (Zoom)
Research has demonstrated that families’ efforts to support their preschool-aged children’s math learning at home are significantly related to their children’s math skills which are, in turn, strong predictors of their later math achievement. In this session, Dr. Ashli-Ann Douglas will review the research literature on home math engagement and discuss a recent study on Black families’ involvement in, perspectives about, and desired resources for supporting their preschool-aged children’s math learning. Dr. Douglas will discuss how these findings can inform math instruction within preschool programs to better support the math development of Black preschoolers and improve family-school partnerships focused on early math.
Dr. Ashli-Ann Douglas is a Mathematics Education Researcher at WestEd and a co-facilitator of the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s Early Math Interest Forum. She works to understand and improve the quality of mathematics teaching and learning, with special interests in early childhood education, student mindset, and culturally responsive-sustaining learning opportunities. She has disseminated research findings through professional development workshops, conference presentations, nontechnical reports, book chapters, and peer-reviewed journal articles. Dr. Douglas earned a PhD and MS in Developmental Psychology from Vanderbilt University and a BA in Psychology from Fisk University. She has also completed certificates in elementary school and college teaching and is a certified reviewer for the What Works Clearinghouse group design standards v5.0.
Exploring the Development and Experiences of Dual Language Learners in Early Care and Education (Zoom)
Join us via Zoom for the March Crane Research Forum as Dr. Ji-Young Choi discusses dual language learners in preschool classrooms.
Dr. Ji-Young Choi, Crane faculty affiliate and associate professor of Human Development and Family Science at The Ohio State University
Understanding the experiences and development of dual language learners in preschool classrooms, where English is the primary language of instruction and interaction, is central to providing developmentally appropriate practices. During this presentation, Dr. Choi will highlight research that refutes deficit views on dual language development and education and will explore equitable classroom environments for linguistically diverse children. She will also discuss implications for early childhood programs and educators working with dual language learners.
Dr. Choi is an expert on early childhood development of multilingual learners. Her research investigates two connected areas: (1) how and why individual developmental differences emerge during 0 to 5 years; and (2) how to better support this early development for children from linguistically and economically diverse backgrounds. She has served as a principal and co-investigator on several federally funded research projects and has published peer-reviewed studies in leading research journals.
Harnessing the Power of Hope and Belonging to Buffer the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (Zoom)
Join us via Zoom for the February Crane Research Forum as Dr. Brett Zyromski discusses ways to buffer against the impact of childhood trauma.
Dr. Brett Zyromski, associate professor and program chair of the Counselor Education Program at The Ohio State University
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood and have long-term impacts on a variety of our future health and educational outcomes, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Every day we interact with adults who are struggling with the long-term consequences of childhood trauma, and most of us have also experienced at least one ACE ourselves. However, there is good news. We can address systems that create trauma, and we can invest in protective factors, such as hope and belonging, that help buffer against the impact of ACEs. In this session, Dr. Zyromski will explore the impacts of ACEs on both children and those working or living with children. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building hope and belonging to help children and adults survive and thrive through the potentially traumatic events of childhood.
Dr. Brett Zyromski is an expert on enhancing protective factors like connectedness to support children who have experienced ACEs, while at the same time deconstructing the systems that create the need for such interventions. His research also examines the effectiveness of socially-just and evidence-based practices for school counselors in both their interventions and in their education and evaluation. Dr. Zyromski has presented before international audiences and has authored numerous articles and book chapters.

Please save the date – even if you won’t be presenting – we hope to have a great turnout!
Registration for the event is now open!
Demystifying Research: Streamline Research Planning (Workshop)
Overwhelmed when starting a new research project? Struggling to break your project down into manageable steps and keep track of progress? In this workshop, we’ll share strategies and tips to help make planning research projects less daunting. Graduate students in any discipline and at any stage of their programs will learn how to streamline research planning by determining tasks, assigning manageable deadlines, and tracking progress.
