Breaking down community silos to advance Social Science and Humanities Research

New consortium signs Memorandum of Understanding to bolster cloud services for SSH practitioners and strengthen Europe’s social sciences and humanities open cloud ecosystem.

SSHOC invites you to the SSHOC’n Tell Challenge, an exciting online event, part of the SSHOC final conference on 6 & 7 April.

Data management planning has become a central concern for publicly funded research, with both funders and academic institutions acutely aware of the ethical and legal responsibilities that come with conducting rigorous and transparent research. The changing landscape about data protection has made this a tricky area to navigate.

Advancing SSH Research with SSHOCingly good and sustainable resources

The workshop was organised by the SSHOC project partner UK Data Service (UKDS), with a guest speaker from the Library and Culture Services, University of Essex. It consisted of several interactive sessions spread across two half days.

The SSH Open Marketplace is a central hub for academics and researchers to find detailed information about software tools, relevant publications, datasets and workflows supporting research across the many facets within the social sciences and humanities.

SSHOC D7.3 Marketplace - Interoperability captures the priorities for making the best possible resources available to academics and researchers in the SSH field, including those already available and those featured via the EOSC Portal Marketplace. 

In Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), citation of data is an indispensable part of the research process because it allows researchers to ensure reproducibility and transparency of the research process, as well as give credit to the creators and funders of the data. It also provides visibility. However, experience shows that practices of data citation are very diverse and making it fully machine-actionable across scientific fields is in fact very complicated.

As of January 18th 2022, the team of the SSH Open Marketplace is proud to release its service into the (academic) wild! The SSH Open Marketplace is a discovery platform for resources relevant to academics, scholars, and students of the social sciences and humanities. The range of covered resources spans from tools and services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows.

Between January 2019 and April 2022 SSHOC will deliver a series of services and tools for daily use by SSH researchers.
