Collaborate and analyse

Funders are increasingly funding large projects that are collaborative efforts across institutions and even across countries.  This provides its own challenges as projects are often large-scale and multi-disciplinary.

The UK Data Service provides lots of advice which we refer to on a regular basis 

• Standard procedures, protocols and policies
• File sharing
• Data resources library - where multiple research partners can share all their material
• Data inventory for research centres - in order to keep track of all the data you create/produce/acquire

Sharing data

To support collaborative working of this sort, it is very easy to  share project folders in your SharePoint site.

Alternative service: File Drop

File Drop is a service which makes it easy to send and receive files up to 2.0 GB between members of the University (staff and students) and between the University and outside (3^rd parties, e.g., research collaborators) without using email which often has tight restrictions on the size of attachments.
