Research Data Management (RDM)

UBC's Research Commons' bite-size (30 min) workshops on the basics of RDM: File naming, File formats, README files, Directory Structures, Data Management Plans

These materials are intended for researchers, library data specialists, research data managers, and discipline and functional experts across the research data landscape.

Each CapU user has access to 1 TB of encrypted storage (with an individual file size limit of 250 GB), which is located on servers in Canada.

Any CapU employee can create a Teams+SharePoint group. Click "Join or create team" in the upper-right corner of the Teams desktop application. This automatically creates an accompanying SharePoint site that can be used to safely store and share research data and documentation. The owner of the site has full control over user privileges and they can add/remove members, as people come and go from the project.

REDCap Surveys is a free, online survey tool that stores data locally. CapU students and employees can build online surveys, export data to common data analysis packages, do ad hoc reporting, easily manage a contact list of survey respondents, create a simple survey link, as well as generate a PDF version of the forms and surveys for printing to collect data offline.

CapU has a limited number of NVivo licences available for researchers. Submit a ticket at the AskIT Service Centre to request an account.

CapU doesn't currently have an SPSS site licence. Some free alternatives to SPSS include Jamovi or JASP.
