University of South Australia research staff and postgraduate students regularly deliver high quality presentations of broad appeal at research seminars outside of UniSA, and the University is committed to supporting and publicising their endeavours.
To promote an upcoming research seminar featuring one or more UniSA staff you can have details published in this page by contacting RDMS Enquiries.

This seminar looked at the different aspects of Data Management including: Increased visibility for the researcher and their projects, Data Management Plans, Research Data Storage, Open Access as well as Research Services and Tools (including Instruments) that are available at UniSA.
Data management is critical to research projects and helps to provide increased visibility for both the researcher and their projects. Many funding bodies are placing increasing emphasis on this and requesting Data Management information in grant applications and encouraging researchers to make their data accessible.

Ethical clearance is a critical step in the research data life-cycle to ensure that data collected and used during the course of research meets the expected ethical standard under the terms of the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research and the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research. Systems that support ethical clearance and continual monitoring of data management and usage are thus critical to maintaining the ethical standard and integrity of research within an institution. Moreover, some research data can have long lasting social, cultural, or scientific value well beyond the completion of a research project. Keeping accurate records of the ethical and legal constraints as well as the permissions around research data are thus necessary steps to ensure that the value of data is preserved.
In this second webinar of the Research Data Information Integration Webinar Series, a panel of speakers discussed the systems in use (or in development) at their institutions to support the management and use of research data ethically.

Management of Research Data is an essential part of every research project. Funding bodies are also placing more emphasis on this topic, by requesting Data Management information in grant applications. This 1 hour seminar will provide an introduction to Research Data Management and will look at Data Management Planning and support available at UniSA in more detail.

Research data from studies about people's health and wellbeing have not traditionally been published and shared as much as data from other disciplines. This is often due to the potentially sensitive nature of the data and concerns about navigating legal (privacy) and ethical obligations. However, the benefits for researchers, institutions and the general public of sharing these data are becoming more widely accepted and promoted. Sharing health data reduces participant burden, expediates treatment and responses to health events, saves research costs and recognises the efforts made to collect these valuable data. With planning and understanding, ‘healthy’ human data can often be safely shared with great success.
Researchers and data managers spoke about their experiences and advice for publishing and sharing health data.
This seminar was hosted by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) with the support of Flinders University.
