Training and support

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need individualised support on any of the following topics:

• HAL (repository, IDHAL creation, HAL CV, creating a collection and its website, management tools...) ;
• open access publishing (different publication models, publication fees, rights assignment contracts, legal aspects, useful resources to know...) ;
• managing and disseminating research data (drafting data management plans, best practices and tools for documenting, storing, sharing and archiving data, legal issues...) ;
• using and exploiting bibliographic databases at the level of a researcher, a research team or a laboratory ;
• methods and tools for searching scientific literature ;
• managing bibliographic references (with Zotero).

Two contact forms to use:

• "Research Services - Data Management" for all your questions about research data
• "Research Services - Open Access, HAL, Bibliometrics" for everything else!

Here are some materials created by the library as part of workshops or training courses.

• Presentation of the library's research services
• Open science: doctoral essentials
• Open access publishing: tools, tips and points to watch out for
• Managing your research data and codes 1/2
• Managing your research data and codes 2/2
• Optimizing your bibliographic search : Google Scholar, Scopus, Click&Read & Co...
• Managing bibliographic references with Zotero

The Centrale Lyon library has created, organised and shared two educational escape games directly linked to open science:

• Closed Access : an escape game on open access to scientific publications
• Escape the fake : an escape game about fake science and predatory journals
• Data Curator: an escape game about managing and sharing research data (produced as part of the Atelier de la donnée DATALystE)

The documentation for these three escape games is available online, on HAL (links above); the files for the first two are deposited on Zenodo (Closed Access and Escape the fake).

The NE.W.T. NumErical Workshops and Tutorials (for computer science) , are organised each year by Anne Cadiou, CNRS research engineer at the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (LMFA) and member of the technical committee of the PMCS2I Computing Cluster.

Open to all, the NE.W.T are labeled 'scientific training' for the MEGA Doctoral School and 'transversal training' for the MathInfo doctoral school, with the exception of certain sessions, which fall within the framework of doctoral training at the University of Lyon.

The list of sessions, past (with access to materials) or forthcoming, is available here.

Among the topics covered : using the Newton compute server, LaTeX, research data management, reproducible science practices, Python, Jupyter Notebooks...
