Who We Are

Research Data Services is dedicated to supporting data-intensive and computational research, teaching, and learning across the institution. Our team offers specialized expertise in all aspects of data management, from developing data management plans for sponsored projects to facilitating access to public data repositories. We provide comprehensive support for computational scholarship and data science, including project scoping, data wrangling, analysis, modeling, and visualization. Additionally, we license and host datasets for Dartmouth, and offer advanced tools and support for text analysis, bibliometrics, and more. As the library’s unofficial AI team, we also bring specialized knowledge in artificial intelligence to enhance research and data-driven initiatives.

What We Do

Our department plays a critical role in supporting data-intensive teaching, learning, and research across Dartmouth by providing:

  • Support for Teaching and Learning: We provide a range of services, from workshops hosted by the Reproducible Research (RR) Group to course-specific instruction and individual or group project support.
  • Comprehensive Research Support: We assist research projects at every stage, from initial consultations to data sharing and publication, ensuring seamless support throughout.
  • Expertise in All Aspects of Data: We help with everything related to data—finding, licensing, wrangling, analyzing, visualizing, and sharing. We also offer guidance on using computational tools and applying data science techniques.

Our services span the classroom, where we assist with teaching and group projects, and consultations, offering one-time or ongoing support for undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and research staff. We also provide long-term support for research projects, including computational scholarship planning through publication. As part of the Reproducible Research Group, we run Dartmouth-wide trainings and events to enhance skills in data management, reproducible research, data science, and AI.
