Structuring Research Materials | Online Training đź“… 1 June | 10:30 - 12:30 | Open to all
Do you know where all your files are? Are you confident you're working on the latest version? If the answer is "probably…" then this session is for you.
This free, beginner-friendly online training will walk you through practical strategies for organising your research materials, from folder structures and file naming conventions to version control.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to build on existing habits, you'll leave with clear, actionable approaches you can put into practice straight away.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
- Structure your research files using a logical, consistent folder hierarchy
- Name files in a way that makes them findable, orderable, and unambiguous
- Manage versions effectively - and know when tools like Git might help
This session was designed as part of the STEP-UP project, which supports digital research technical professionals through training, mentoring and career support. However, we welcome anyone who works with research files to join.
No prior experience needed.
Some instructions on how to download the course materials will be sent out closer to the time.
