Get Data-Ready for research from home

An introduction to research data toolsDuring the transition to increased research from home, here is a 3-minute introduction into the most useful tools to store, synchronise, organise and share your data.For a more detailed summary, see:Research Data Management at La Trobe.https://doi.org/10.26181/5e5c41c9f1dde TranscriptWith the increased relevance of working remotely, let's look at some tools you can use to organise, synchronise and share your data. All of these work without using the university VPN. StorageFirst on the list, CloudStor allows you to securely synchronise files and folders across a team. It's easiest to find via a web search and once you're on the Australian Academic and Research Network site, you can sign up to CloudStor using your university login. Once there, you can drag and drop any file or folder onto the web page. You start off with 1TB of storage, but you can request more from ICT if you need to. To synch these files and folders across any number of computers or other devices, you simply need the appropriate app. It then just appears like any other folder on your computer. You can securely share files and folders with a range of customisable options, and you can let other people send you files in a similar manner. NotebookSo with your working storage sorted, what replaces the trusty paper lab notebook? LabArchives is a general purpose online research notebook. Again, just use your university login. You can create new project notebooks organised on an existing template, or create your own. These project notebooks are organised into folders which contain pages, and those pages are just like the page of a paper notebook where you can organise your thoughts, hypotheses, observations and experiments, and the conclusions that you draw from them. You can also embed files straight into the notebook, along with a number of other features. SharingSo you've put all this work into your research. What's the best way to share it? Well, the La Trobe open repository is based on FigShare, and once again, you can use your university login. When you create a new item, you just drag and drop in a file or folder and add some simple descriptive information so that people are able to find it. Items can include your publications, research data, publication slides or recordings, and more or less any other research output. Describe it as thoroughly as possible, because this makes it more searchable and therefore more visible. For supplementary data or an article postprint, link to the DOI of the published version. Choose a license for it to be released under. We recommend CC BY but there's a range to choose from. If required by a publisher you can apply an embargo. When you're done, you can either save a private draft, or share it publicly. Public items appear on the repository main page and are searchable and are also assigned a DOI. For items that aren't published elsewhere, like negative results or teaching material, this allws people to cite them and increases their visibility.

研究数据工具简介
随着居家研究需求的显著提升，本文将通过3分钟时长介绍用于数据存储、同步、整理与共享的实用工具。如需获取更详细的综述内容，请参考：乐卓博大学（La Trobe）研究数据管理指南，链接：https://doi.org/10.26181/5e5c41c9f1dde

### 字幕内容
伴随远程工作的重要性与日俱增，下文将介绍多款可用于数据整理、同步与共享的工具，且所有工具均无需使用校园虚拟专用网络（VPN）。

#### 存储工具
位列首位的是CloudStor，可实现团队跨设备安全同步文件与文件夹。通过网络搜索即可轻松访问其所属的澳大利亚学术与研究网络站点，使用校园账号即可完成注册。登录后，可直接将任意文件或文件夹拖拽至网页界面。初始存储空间为1TB，若有额外扩容需求，可向信息与通信技术部门（ICT）提出申请。若需在多台电脑或其他设备间同步上述文件与文件夹，仅需安装对应客户端即可，同步后的文件夹将与本地普通文件夹无异。此外，用户可通过多种自定义选项安全共享文件与文件夹，也可允许其他用户以相同方式向您上传文件。

#### 在线研究笔记本
完成存储配置后，有什么工具可以替代传统的纸质实验记录本？LabArchives是一款通用型在线研究笔记本，同样支持使用校园账号登录。用户可基于现有模板创建项目笔记本，亦可自行搭建定制。此类项目笔记本以文件夹为层级单位，内部包含若干页面，这些页面与纸质笔记本的页面功能一致，可用于记录研究思路、假设、观察结果、实验过程及由此得出的结论。用户还可直接将文件嵌入笔记本中，该工具还具备多项其他实用功能。

#### 数据共享
完成全部研究工作后，该如何高效共享研究成果？乐卓博大学的开放仓储平台基于FigShare搭建，同样可使用校园账号登录。创建新条目时，仅需将文件或文件夹拖拽至界面，并添加简要的描述性信息即可方便他人检索。条目可涵盖出版物、研究数据、演示幻灯片、录音等几乎所有类型的研究产出。尽可能详细地描述条目内容，可提升其检索性与曝光度。若需上传补充数据或文章预印本，可关联已发表版本的数字对象唯一标识符（DOI）。为上传内容选择适用的授权协议，我们推荐CC BY协议，同时平台也提供多种其他协议供选择。若出版方有相关要求，可设置延期公开禁运期（embargo）。完成设置后，用户可选择保存为私有草稿，或将其公开至平台。公开后的条目将展示在仓储平台主页，支持检索并将被分配一个DOI。对于未在其他平台发表的内容（如阴性实验结果、教学材料），此举可方便他人引用，并提升其曝光度。
