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 publications and data for their grantees by December 31, 2025. The Department of Energy and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have already implemented this requirement. What does this mean for data management practices during the lifecycle of your research project? What must you write into a grant application? How do you know when and where to share your publications and data? All of these topics and more will be explored in this session.

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 all who are interested, will help you determine the best review type for your research question and point you to resources and tools for completing an evidence synthesis project. Open to all disciplines and graduate student levels.

This workshop for graduate students will provide an overview of the publishing process. We will cover the basics of: peer review, copyright, types of journals, costs of publishing, and "predatory" journals.

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.

This workshop will cover: screening and reading articles efficiently, using organizational tools (research logs and tables, tags, annotated bibliographies) to summarize and surface connections between sources, and practicing a formula for writing your lit review.

This workshop will provide an overview of the library resources and services available to UMN graduate students.
