Students and researchers have benefitted tremendously from the advent of modern information technology architecture and recordkeeping. Organizations in the private and public sector are now amassing tremendous amounts of information as part of their daily operations and their data collection efforts. Much of this is now available to the public through data portals. Yet while data availability is greater than ever, this does not equate to excellence in quantitative research. In this workshop, Dr. Paschall and Dr. Kromphardt will review best practices for formulating research questions that build on publicly available datasets.

Speakers: Collin Paschall and Chris Kromphardt
