How is inflation understood by the prices of everyday products such as gas and eggs? What are the emerging trends in academic research? We will give an overview of the content available for analysis including things major US and World newspapers as well as dissertations, Web of Science, and primary sources. TDM Studio supports coding (Python and R) as well as analysis without coding. Researchers from all disciplines are welcome!
Archives and Research Methods
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: Understanding and Negotiating the Terms of Your Publishing Agreement (Virtual Event)
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.
