If you are going to collect data, either in person or online, there are lots of resources at Leiden University to help you.

• Ethical approval
• Data management
• Data archiving

Collecting online data

SOLO is the main source of support at the university. Here are their main channels:

• SOLO Research Wiki: here you can find technical documentation about SOLO supported research tools and platforms. It also contains a link to the latest versions of the COVID-19 protocols.
• SOLO Online Research Teams: meant for everybody doing online research. Here ideas can be shared and questions asked to colleagues or SOLO employees concerning online research.

Collecting in-person data

• Login to the ethics application portal to help edit (if applicable).
• Get access to the Sylvius labs via SOLO (Maureen Meekel). This includes access to the room booking system.
• Get access to the project J-drive (ask Anne) - see below for accessing with Cyberduck.
• Make a SONA account for participant recruitment.
• See here for a guide to collecting behavioral data, written by Annika Frach and Camilla Enwereuzor.

Storing and loading internal data

• Data from experiments run in the lab should be stored on the J-drive: WORKGROUPS/FSW/PROJECT-NAME. Anne will request access for you at the start of the project. The J-drive can be accessed from the lab computers: when you are logged in with your account, you should see the J-drive appear next to other network drives.

Accessing the J-drive on your own computer:

• download the Cyberduck software (see here and here for more setup instructions.
• After you have downloaded Cyberduck, start a new connection:
  • choose sFTP
  • Server: sftpgw.leidenuniv.nl
  • Username: your Leiden username
  • Password: your Leiden password
  • SSH Private Key: None
  • Path: /winshare/Public/Workgroups/FSW/PROJECT-NAME
  • Transfer files: Default
  • Encoding: UTF-8
• Note: if you’d like to avoid copying these data to your local drive for analysis, you can download the MountainDuck software and mount the J-drive as if it were a regular network drive. This should give you a direct path to the data (see here for an example, ask Anne or Philippa for more info).
