Our research lab publishes dozens of papers every year to promote projects in our field of research. Among these papers are studies detailing our lab’s findings from analyzing databases.

We would like to collaborate with students in data entry.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our database structure.
• Transferring data into our databases efficiently.
• Verifying the accuracy of the data in our databases and making relevant updates.
• Organizing and retrieving data as requested.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Providing assistance in creating new databases.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Familiarity with our databases
• Efficient data transfer
• Verification of data accuracy
• Organization and retrieval of data

Bonus steps would include:

• Assisting in creating new databases

Final deliverables should include

• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our research projects and databases
• Current understanding of our field of research
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

• Data entry and large databases

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

We can provide students with:

• A walkthrough / tutorial of our databases and the research project
