Make a name for yourself: Establishing your professional identity and managing author rights
Presenters: Melissa Rothfus, Scholarly Communications Librarian and Geoff Brown, Digital Scholarship Librarian, Dalhousie University.
Are you the master of your author identity and your author rights? To make sure that your published work has the most impact on your field and your career, you need to manage both your identity and your rights as an author. This session will untangle the various platforms and options for establishing and maintaining a consistent scholarly identity as well as help you to make informed decisions about your rights to your research outputs.

Introduction to Statistical Analysis with jamovi
Presenters: Sean Mackinnon, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Dalhousie University
Learn a new open-access, free statistical software with an intuitive point-and-click interface. Learn how to create beautiful tables and plots with just a few clicks. In this introductory workshop, you will learn how to use jamovi statistical software and how to do a few simple statistical analyses. The workshop will be about 30 minutes of instructional lecture, followed by 60min of hands-on guided practice with the software. Some prior knowledge of introductory statistics is assumed (e.g., 1 undergrad class in statistics or prior work experience), but no experience with jamovi software is necessary. Users should bring a laptop with jamovi software installed to get the most out of this session: https://www.jamovi.org/
