    Data wrangling using dplyr
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2015) Magle, C. Tobin, speaker
    What you can do with your data depends strongly on how its formatted. This month's coding and cookies will cover how to manipulate datasets using an R package called dplyr. After this session, you will be able to subset, reformat and summarize your data. A basic working knowledge of R and R studio would be helpful for you to get the most out of this session.

    The impact of data management
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-09-29) Magle, C. Tobin, speaker
    Good data management practices are becoming increasingly important in the digital age. Because we now have the technology to freely share research data and also because funding agencies want to do more with decreasing research funds, many funding agencies and journals require authors and grantees to share their research data. To provide training in this area, Tobin Magle, the Morgan Library's Cyberinfrastructure Facilitator, is putting on a series of data management workshops called Data and Donuts. The first session of Data and Donuts will discuss the importance of data management and how to write a data management plan.

    Data cleaning using OpenRefine
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017-03-28) Magle, C. Tobin, speaker
    The process of generating data can be messy, especially when data are hand collected by multiple people. This month's Data and Donuts will discuss how to wrangle messy tabular data using OpenRefine (https://openrefine.org/), a free, open source tool for working with messy data. We will discuss the concepts of faceting, clustering, and splitting data. We will also show you how to export scripts to help you automate the cleaning process.

    Basic data analysis using R
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017-04-25) Magle, C. Tobin, speaker
    Learning how to code can be intimidating, but will save you time and effort in the long run. This month's Data and Donuts will cover basic analysis of tabular data in R studio. By the end of this session, you will be able to load data into R, calculate summary statistics, split the data based on categorical variables and create exploratory graphs using R's basic graphics package. This session is geared toward beginners, so if you have lots of coding experience, this may not be the class for you.

    Data archiving and sharing
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017-07-25) Magle, C. Tobin, speaker
    This month's Data and Donuts will cover best practices for preparing your data for archiving. We will discuss how to properly describe your data so that others, or you from 5 years from now, will know what it is and how to use it, as well as appropriate places to store it. We'll also discuss options for repositories that will allow others to access your research data, including CSU's digital repository.
