F.A.Q.
What’s the difference between Field Notes and Publications?
Field Notes are working-facing posts—method notes, reflections, and updates written for readability and practical reuse. Publications are formal research outputs (journal articles, reports, and working papers) with citation details and official links.
Can I reuse your datasets, protocols, or templates?
Often, yes. Each resource lists its license and any access conditions. If a dataset is restricted (e.g., sensitive locations or participant privacy), we’ll note how to request access.
How should I cite something from this site?
Use the citation information on the relevant page when available (publication citation, dataset version, or post date).
When in doubt, cite the page title, NotesLab®, the year, and the URL.
How do I collaborate or request access to restricted materials?
Email noteslab@dier.ie with a short description of your project and what you need (e.g., dataset version, intended use, timeline). We typically respond within 3–5 working days.
