This site is designed as a companion to Griffith Library’s Research Data Capture workshops. It can also be treated as a standalone, self-paced tutorial for learning to use REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases.

In this self-paced workshop you will learn steps to: 
- Build data sets: find where and how to gather textual data for your corpus or data set.  
- Prepare data for analysis: explore useful processes and tools to prepare and clean textual data for analysis
- Analyse data: identify different...

This online self-paced workshop teaches advanced data wrangling skills including combining datasets, geolocating data, and “what if” exploration using OpenRefine.

Learn basic data cleaning techniques in this self-paced online workshop using open data from data.qld.gov.au and open source tool OpenRefine openrefine.org. Learn techniques to prepare messy tabular data for comupational analysis. Of most relevance to HASS disciplines, working with textual data...
