Reconnaissance Data Publishing Workshop: 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake (by invitation) 

Presenters: Maria Esteva and Craig Jansen
 
This workshop has been postponed and will be held as a webinar after 2024AM. If you are interested in participating, please sign up via the interest form below.
 
This workshop will provide interactive and hands-on training for curating and publishing data in the DesignSafe Data Depot. It will be specific to publishing the reconnaissance datasets gathered after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake that affected Turkiye and Syria. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about DesignSafe data curation, discuss their datasets, consult with curators, usability experts and other experienced field researchers, and prepare their datasets for publication.  Attendees will leave the workshop ready to publish their data!
 
The workshop will cover the following:
  • A brief introduction to the principles and reasons for data curation and publication.
  • Hands on demonstrations of organizing and describing field reconnaissance data.
  • Data publication in terms of FAIR standards (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable), practical and ethical aspects of sharing data publicly, and measuring your dataset’s impact.
  • Data curation and publication planning by reconnaissance teams with feedback from DesignSafe staff
Note: this workshop is restricted to participants who have datasets related to the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes. If you would like to participate, please complete the Google form here.
