Guide to HeSANDA and Health Data Australia https://dresa.org.au/materials/guide-to-hesanda-and-health-data-australia The Guide to HeSANDA and Health Data Australia is an easy and engaging way to quickly learn how to access and use Health Data Australia, a catalogue of health and medical research developed to make it easier to find existing datasets that can be used for secondary research. HeSANDA is the Health Studies Australian National Data Asset program led by ARDC, the Australian Research Data Commons, which is funded by the National Critical Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). This Guide will explain the process for researchers to find and request access to existing data. It will also show how the Data Provider (the researcher who created the data) always maintains control over their data and decides with whom it is shared.

10 Reproducible Research things - Building Business Continuity https://dresa.org.au/materials/9-reproducible-research-things-building-business-continuity The idea that you can duplicate an experiment and get the same conclusion is the basis for all scientific discoveries. Reproducible research is data analysis that starts with the raw data and offers a transparent workflow to arrive at the same results and conclusions. However not all studies are replicable due to lack of information on the process. Therefore, reproducibility in research is extremely important. Researchers genuinely want to make their research more reproducible, but sometimes don’t know where to start and often don’t have the available time to investigate or establish methods on how reproducible research can speed up every day work. We aim for the philosophy “Be better than you were yesterday”. Reproducibility is a process, and we highlight there is no expectation to go from beginner to expert in a single workshop. Instead, we offer some steps you can take towards the reproducibility path following our Steps to Reproducible Research self paced program.

Data Storytelling

Nowadays, more information created than our audience could possibly analyse on their own!

Data Storytelling https://dresa.org.au/materials/data-storytelling Nowadays, more information created than our audience could possibly analyse on their own! A study by Stanford professor Chip Heath found that during the recall of speeches, 63% of people remember stories and how they made them feel, but only 5% remember a single statistic. So, you should convert your insights and discovery from data into stories to share with non-experts with a language they understand. But how? This tutorial helps you construct stories that incite an emotional response and create meaning and understanding for the audience by applying data storytelling techniques. m.yamaguchi@griffith.edu.au a.miotto@griffith.edu.au data storytelling, data visualisation support masters phd researcher
