Training RSPH

29 November 2024: Workshop ‘Data management and analysis for historical research in Nodegoat’

In this workshop, historians (in training) will learn to work with the research environment Nodegoat in order to store, organize, connect and analyse their own data in a relational database – with a special eye on how to use these skills in a political historical research project. Nodegoat is a web-based research environment especially developed for the humanities and used by an international research community. Nodegoat allows scholars to build their own datasets based on their own data model and offers relational modes of analysis with spatial and chronological forms of contextualization. This workshop is open to PhD’s and ReMa students. Register before 15 November 2024 at: bureau@onderzoekschoolpolitiekegescheidenis.nl.
