Becker Library’s Research Computing group provides the following free introduction to R workshops geared towards those new to programming and R: • Introduction to R – Data Exploration and Manipulation Using R base • Introduction to R – Data Visualization Using R base • Introduction to R – Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 • [Read more]
Persistent Unique Identifiers (PIDs), also known as Digital Persistent Identifiers (DPIs), are globally unique, persistent, machine-resolvable digital identifiers with an associated metadata schema. A PID identifies and locates an entity regardless of where it is hosted or published and enables its unambiguous and long-term identification. PIDs are an essential component of the research ecosystem, linking [Read more]
This is part 4 of a four-part blog series on FAIR data principles (Part 1: Findable, part2: Accessible, part3: Interoperable, part4: Reusable). We reviewed making data findable in the part 1 blog, accessible in the part 2 blog, and interoperable in the part 3 blog. In this blog, we will discuss how to make data [Read more]
This is part 3 of a four-part blog series on FAIR data principles (Part 1: Findable, part2: Accessible, part3: Interoperable, part4: Reusable). We reviewed making data findable using metadata in the part 1 blog and making data accessible in the part 2 blog. In this blog, we will discuss how to make data interoperable. Part [Read more]

This is part 2 of a four-part blog series on FAIR data principles (part 1: Findable, part2: Accessible, part3: Interoperable, part4: Reusable). We reviewed making data findable using metadata in part 1, so now we will discuss how to make data accessible. Part 2: Accessible There are three principles: Selecting a suitable data repository with [Read more]
Here, we will break down the details of the FAIR data principles in a four-part blog series: Part 1: Findable, Part 2: Accessible, Part 3: Interoperable, Part 4: Reusable. So what are the FAIR data principles, and why are they important? The FAIR data principles emphasize machine-actionability to ensure that computational systems can find, access, [Read more]
The WashU instance of MDClone, recently upgraded to version 6, offers a more intuitive and compact user interface than previous versions.
Weekly office hours sessions resume Tuesday, July 12, 2022, from 10 a.m.–12 p.m.
Beginning with the January 25, 2023 grant cycle, the NIH will enact a policy requiring all NIH grant submissions to include a two page Data Management and Sharing plan (henceforth referred to as the plan). The plan outlines how the investigator will store, protect, and ultimately share research data generated from NIH funds. You can begin [Read more]
