How do you organize, structure, and preserve your sources and data? Data management has become an essential part of doing research in the humanities, whether you work with archival materials, oral histories, or born-digital sources. This workshop introduces participants to key principles of data management: how to store, connect, and analyze data in ways that make your research both sustainable and transparent.
As a practical case, we will work with Nodegoat, a web-based research environment designed specifically for the humanities and widely used by an international research community. Nodegoat allows scholars to build customized datasets and offers relational, spatial, and chronological modes of analysis.
The workshop, given by Nodegoat developers Pim van Bree and Geert Kessels, combines broader discussions on data management in the humanities with hands-on training. Participants will learn how to set up, analyze, and visualize their own data in Nodegoat, and reflect on how digital tools can enhance their research practices.
We welcome all PhD candidates and ReMA students interested in the challenges and opportunities of data management in the humanities, whether you are new to digital research tools, curious about how to organize your sources, or already working with Nodegoat.
Please bring your own laptop.
Please register before 12 November via: bureau@onderzoekschoolpolitiekegeschiedenis
