The goal of this methodology course is to give interested, young scientists an understanding of the essential elements of quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

The workshop provides an overview of key concepts along the research data lifecycle—from planning and organization to documentation, storage, archiving, and publication of research data. Participants will gain practical insights into how research data can be organized, described, and made accessible in a structured way. The workshop demonstrates how requirements of Good Scientific Practice and the FAIR principles can be implemented in everyday research practice. In addition, expectations of funding organizations, research institutions, and publishers regarding research data management will be introduced, and legal aspects of working with research data will be discussed.
