🏆 Finding Biomedical Research Data Online
How do you find out if there is data somewhere that you could use to answer a research question? This interactive session introduces the biomedical research data landscape and a strategic approach to engaging with it. Participants will learn guidelines for finding repositories and accessing the data preserved there, with a special emphasis on Yale affiliate resources.
By the end of this 45-minute session, participants will be able to:
1. Define and contextualize research data within the biomedical sciences, including understanding various data types and data ethics considerations.
2. Translate research needs into dataset searches by identifying key variables, parameters, and data requirements specific to their research questions.
3. Navigate and utilize multiple data discovery resources, including government databases, specialty biomedical repositories, and gray data sources to locate relevant datasets.
4. Evaluate datasets for fitness and reusability by assessing documentation quality, licensing terms, limitations, and alignment with research objectives.
