Research data services A-Z
Personal storage space (home drive for employees)
The personal storage space (home drive) service offers you personal online storage at Leipzig University for storing files of all kinds. Access is only possible personally and not for third parties. By storing your files on Leipzig University’s home drive, they are always available online on connected end devices.
Procurement support for hardware
The URZ helps you to procure different hardware. We advise you on the various options available to you. Often there are framework agreements that facilitate the acquisition of hardware.
Data Science with RStudio
RStudio offers a comprehensive integrated development environment for the programming language R for statistical calculations. The service allows access to our hardware resources and use of the extensive library of software.
Online evaluation and surveys with LimeSurvey
The browser-based tool enables individual online surveys for e.g. evaluation, opinion research, target group analyses and much more. Users can create and evaluate questionnaires on their own. The survey results can be analysed using SPSS or Excel, among other tools.
Own cloud storage (Speicherwolke)
With the “Own cloud storage (Speicherwolke)” service, you have the option of storing files and documents centrally and synchronising them with different end devices. The files stored in the cloud storage can be shared with other people in a secure way and partly edited together. We currently use the cloud storage application “Speicherwolke” for this purpose.
RDM Consulting
We offer you comprehensive support in the implementation of effective research data management. The RDM team will help you with planning and implementation, be it integration into funding applications, the creation of data management plans or the secure handling of personal data. We can also assist you with technical questions regarding storage and archiving as well as the publication and subsequent use of your research data. Please contact us to arrange a personalised consultation.
Software shop
On behalf of the University, the URZ offers institutions as well as staff and students the opportunity to purchase a variety of programmes and associated licences (e.g. SPSS, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Filemaker, EndNote and many more) via the software shop. The software shop is operated by an external service provider (ASKNET).
Software: Citavi
Citavi is a programme for literature management and knowledge organisation. Many students use Citavi when writing term papers and theses, researchers often use the programme when working on scientific publications.
Software: Electronic lab notebook
The laboratory notebook plays a major role in the planning, implementation and evaluation of scientific experiments and research projects. Compared to analogue solutions, the electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) offers many advantages. For example, the ELN can be linked to measuring devices, analysis programmes and storage infrastructures, making research data traceable and retrievable and making research processes more efficient. At Leipzig University, the ELN eLabFTW provided by the Faculty of Medicine is available to researchers.
SOFTWARE: MATLAB & SIMULINK
Engineers and scientists worldwide use MATLAB and Simulink to analyse data and signals, simulate complex systems, and perform model-based development. Use the latest versions of MATLAB and Simulink and other MathWorks products to support your teaching and research.
