Research
All about research
Are you a researcher at Windesheim? The site Alles over onderzoek (opens in new tab)(Dutch) gives you more information about practice-based research within Windesheim. The website is primarily aimed at colleagues in our research groups.
Would you like to do research? The website also give a good impression of what it entails to be a researcher in a university of applied sciences.
Research Data Management
The Mediacentrum contributes to facilitating research data management. Research data management involves the structured handling of the research data you collect as a researcher. What type of research data does the research project generate? Who has access to the datasets? How do you securely and sustainably store the data, ensuring that it remains useful for others and yourself at a later stage? By considering these questions early on and documenting your answers in a data management plan (DMP), you can prevent problems later in the research process. You can find more information about this on Alles over onderzoek - Onderzoeksdatamanagement(opens in new tab).
Reference tools - Endnote
Research often goes hand in hand with a literature search. You can save and organise the literature found using a reference tool. Such a tool helps you build your own bibliography. The reference can be exported to your document in Word. This can then be used to include relevant references in your own document.
There are various tools available, such as Mendeley or Zotero. These are free, web-based programmes that are not supported by Windesheim. Windesheim has a licence for EndNote.
EndNote
The key features of EndNote are:
- Building a personal file (library) with literature references
- Direct export from databases to your own library
- Sharing references
- EndNote and Word compatibility
EndNote is available as a desktop version and online. With the desktop version, the literature is stored on your own computer. The online version saves the literature in the cloud, so that you can access the information from any location. The two versions can be synchronised.
The desktop version of EndNote(opens in new tab), which is only available to staff, can be installed via the Company Portal / Bedrijfsportal app. You can find this app on your Windesheim device using the search function in the Windows task bar. Installation must take place on campus.
The online version, EndNoteWeb(opens in new tab), can be used by both staff and students.
Please contact Rensje Wicherson(opens in new tab) for more information on the use of EndNote.
