This workshop includes a discussion about competing definitions of open access and the types of licences applied to open access publications. It considers the benefits and impacts of open access over traditional publishing methods, particularly in a Welsh language context and uses specific examples to demonstrate impacts in different sectors and for different stakeholders. Finally the workshop will consider the growing shift towards open access and what that might mean for the future of publishing in Wales and beyond. Participants will gain an understanding of how open access publishing works, how copyright affects accessibility and how different open licences limit or permit reuse. They will develop a better understanding of why open access publishing can be more beneficial than traditional commercial models, in certain cases, and how open access promotes equality and increases engagement with the Welsh language. This resource is presented by Jason Evans, National Wikimedian at the National Library of Wales. He has championed Open Access within the institution and more widely in the culture sector. Evans works with Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia, to share the Library’s digital collections openly and to encourage engagement and participation in open crowdsourcing projects. Working closely with the Welsh Government he has led a number of projects to develop Welsh language open access content and data. 

The aim of this training  is to introduce effective and reproducible data analysis techniques in two open source programming languages, R and Python. This resource is presented by Dr Geraint Palmer who is a Welsh medium lecturer in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His research in the field of Operational Research mainly involved modelling public services as queueing systems analytically and using computer simulation. This work applies topics such as probability, graph theory, data analysis, and software development. Content: A series of 10 videos (5 in R and 5 in Python), on the following topics: Downloading, installing, and starting the software Reading in data and producing summary statistics Plotting Combining and re-shaping data Hypothesis testing An example data set A practical task to coincide with each video On completion trainees should be able to: By working through this video series and the tasks, you will be able to start to analyse data with either R or Python. Specifically, you will know how to read in data to the software, produce summary statistics, plot, combine and reshape data, and carry out hypothesis testing.

Mae'r ddogfen fer hon gan Dr Hywel Griffiths yn cynnig cyflwyniad cryno i ddatblygu sgiliau trin a thrafod a chyflwyno data ystadegol o fewn Excel, ac yn addas ar gyfer myfyrwyr yn ystod tymor cyntaf eu hastudiaeth israddedig pan efallai y bydd gofyn iddynt ddefnyddio Excel am y tro cyntaf, cyn ei ddefnyddio er mwyn gwneud dadansoddiadau mwy manwl. Sgiliau TG sylfaenol yw ffocws y ddogfen felly, a'r gobaith yw y gall fod yn sail ar gyfer tasg fer mewn seminar neu diwtorial. Ar ddiwedd y ddogfen, nodir rhai cwestiynau a phwyntiau trafod y gellir ymhelaethu arnyn nhw yn y sesiynau hyn. Cliciwch ar 'Cyfryngau Cysylltiedig' i lawrlwytho'r data . Mae gallu trin data ystadegol yn sgil greiddiol o fewn y gwyddorau amgylcheddol, boed hynny ym maes daearyddiaeth ffisegol, daearyddiaeth dynol neu wyddor amgylcheddol. Defnyddir ystod o ddulliau casglu, cyflwyno a dadansoddi data ystadegol mewn ymchwil academaidd a gan gyrff ac asiantaethau sydd yn rheoli'r amgylchedd yng Nghymru. Mae sawl meddalwedd ar gael er mwyn trin a thrafod data, ac mae rhai yn fwy defnyddiol ar gyfer gwahanol bwrpasau (arddangos, dadansoddi ac ati). Un o'r rhai mwyaf cyffredin yw MS Excel.
