MISSION
The faculty wants to be a national and international player in the field of
scientific research.
Through its departments and research groups the faculty wants to
contribute to the scientific exploration and further development of its
academic disciplines. Therefore, the faculty sets the necessary conditions
and strives to disclose the results of its research to third parties and to
integrate them into its own teaching, research and service.

DIGITAL HUMANITIES
use of digital tools in existing humanities research
new methodological opportunities and challenges
(as a result of the use of digital tools)
development of new methods to face new
scientific challenges
12
DIGITAL HUMANITIES
From 2019 on:
increasing the visibility of internal training, support and
software/tools/methods
mapping out the needs in terms of training, support and
software/tools/methods; prioritisation and financing
exploration of the faculty research landscape: expertise at GhentCDH,
other research groups, faculty IT service, faculty library, …

RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT
Increased attention
obligations by research funders
research organization and cooperation
scientific integrity (transparency of methodology, reproducibility,
verifiability and reuse)
Ghent University
quality, safe and sustainable preservation of research data
making data accessible and reusable

WHAT IS RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT?
“(...) The compilation of many small practices
that make your data easier to understand, less likely to
be lost, and more likely to be useable
during a project or ten years later.” (Briney 2015)
Organising
Storage
Backing up
Structuring
Choosing technology
Preservation
Versioning
Documenting
Sharing
Curation
Security

DATA IN HUMANITIES RESEARCH
“Data (…) refers to entities used as evidence of
phenomena for the purpose of research or scholarship.”
(Borgman, 2015)
RESEARCH DATATYPES
Content type Textual, numerical, multimedia…
Data format/objectSpreadsheets/tabular data, notes, databases, marked
up text, images, audiovisual recordings…
Mode of data collection Experimental, observational, derived/compiled data…
Primary vs secondaryOriginal data created in context of research project vs.
reuse of existing data
Digital vs non-digital Digital-born/digitised vs analogue data
Level of processing Raw, processed, analysed data
DMP - DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN
A formal document specifying how data will be handled
during and after a project
a 'living' document
increasingly required by research funders/institutions
https://researchtips.ugent.be/en/
good practice even if not required!
DMP - WHY PLAN?
Planning takes time upfront, but…
saves a lot of time and problems later on
helps you consider a range of RDM issues involved
makes expectations, tasks and procedures explicit
leads to more informed decisions about data

ZAP or visiting professor with a research assignment
evaluation
scientific level of the (co)promoter(s)
qualitative scientific basis of the application
relevance within the context and strategy of the research group
essential to realize output
added value for Ghent University
to be used mainly for research purposes and, to a lesser extent, in
the context of teaching assignments or academic services
TIPS – PROPOSAL WRITING
91
TIPS (1/4)
92
start in time: good applications go through a maturation process
take care of your methodology
explain the rationale from a wider scientific context
be aware of your audience / evaluators
motivate your choices (especially when departing from more classical
approaches): which cases, what methods, what theories and why
add examples: choose them carefully and double-check them
TIPS (2/4)
93
work plan: be precise
what do you do when?
how are the different steps or phases related?
which conferences / symposia / articles are you planning?
what is the relationship with your project?
feasibility: the project should be sufficiently specific and the evaluators
must be convinced that the project is feasible
TIPS (3/4)
94
carefully check the references you provide
avoid gaps in your story. If any, acknowledge them and try to refer to
expertise in your research group
a co-promoter may be useful (cf. filling gaps), but only if there is added
value. Explain why you choose a particular co-promoter
FWO “personal statement”: show your motivation, add the important
things not asked elsewhere in the form
TIPS (4/4)
95
keywords: be sufficiently specific (e.g. not 'humanities’)
update your pages on the Faculty Research Portal: research.flw.ugent.be.
They may be checked by the evaluators
make use of Biblio: biblio.ugent.be and for FWO applications export from
Biblio to the FWO e-loket
