The Researcher Toolkit catalogs on and off-campus resources available for each phase of a research project, from planning a research project to publishing your work. The resources are categorized according to the research data lifecycle. It’s important to remember that phases often happen concurrently and may not happen in the same order as they are presented—each research project is different.
To prevent content from becoming outdated, this site directly links to resources for the latest information on services or best practices. You may also have access to resources in your local department, which aren’t listed in this toolkit.
Please suggest useful resources, topics, or software packages to help us stay current.
