Meet with fellow learners on Zoom and learn how to use Zotero to create your own database of citations, PDFs, images, webpages, video and audio files and more. Zotero can then be used to create citations in a large number of citation styles which can be added to Google Docs, Microsoft Word and Libre Office. We will send a zoom link to students who are registered the day before the workshop.
You’ll learn how to effectively find scholarly sources including searching databases and find books and online journal articles. Learn how specialist librarians and other library staff can help you to succeed at UMN. Open to all colleges, departments, and disciplines. Open everyone but recommended for first-year graduate students, new post-docs or researchers!

Did you know that there are over 40 different review types? It is important to choose the right type of synthesis for your research questions. In this workshop, learn about various review methodologies like systematic reviews, scoping reviews, rapid reviews, and other types of evidence syntheses.
This introductory workshop, designed for graduate students but open to post-docs, instructors, faculty and all who are interested, will point you to resources and tools for completing an evidence synthesis project.
In 2022, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released a memo requiring that all federal funding agencies implement policies for immediate sharing of data for their grantees. While data sharing is still mandated, in 2026 we see many agencies changing certain aspects of their policies and practices.
This session will review National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Center for Disease Control (CDC), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) changes, as well as address the Gold Standard Science memo (PDF). This session is open to faculty, instructors, researchers, post-docs, graduate students and anyone who wants to learn more.

Research usually involves collaboration among multiple people, whether an advisor and graduate student, a group of lab mates, or a large interdisciplinary project. How can you communicate effectively and stay organized throughout the research process? This session will introduce effective practices and tools for research collaboration, including file management, lab handbooks, and authorship agreements. This session is useful for faculty, PIs, post-docs, researchers and staff, graduate students and anyone interested in the topic. Open to all disciplines, departments and colleges.
Final.csv and Final_ThisOne.csv can be file names, but there are more useful options that will be discussed at this data management camp workshop. We will pack a punch of good practices you can immediately integrate into your own workflow or when collaborating with a co-author or an entire group. We will talk through folder structures as well as folder and file naming. Forming good practices now will help you save time down the road and free up time for other fun things. This workshop is free and useful for graduate students, faculty, instructors, researchers, post-docs, staff, undergraduates involved in research and anyone interested in the topic. It is open to all disciplines, departments and colleges.
