Developing ethical digital practices as researchers and graduate researchers has become more and more important as our research toolkits grow to include a range of digital technologies. We use digital environments to collect, analyse, generate and create “data”. But this is just a small part of a larger digital ecology. Increasingly we build or contribute to online resources, to interactive digital environments, or use other modern mediums to communicate, exhibit, translate our findings, or to generally have greater visibility and impact. So how do we work out what our digital ecology might look like?

The University of Melbourne has a number of agile platforms to support us as researchers in this digital and virtual environment. This discussion workshop is designed to help you consider your digital ecology, and how the Uni might support your research journey and help build online visibility for your career. It is designed for those of you who know about digital methods, and for those of you who have data or digital information. We will cover aspects of online/open research, data publishing, melbourne.figshare.com, DOI’s and some examples.
