Project collaboration
Streamline your research collaborations with these tools and resources.
Learn more about the tools we have to help our researchers at Griffith. Remember that each research project is different, and your project may require further consultation.
SharePoint or Teams sites offer excellent collaboration options. With each creation of a Teams, a connecting SharePoint site is also created. However, you do have the option of creating a SharePoint site by itself.
A Teams is useful for direct communication, booking meetings, creating project tasks, sharing data to those who have access to the Teams and has many more options available. A SharePoint site is useful for sharing information or for sharing specific files/folders. Additionally, a site can also be made internally facing allowing you to create an informational page.
We recommend that you store active research data in a separate SharePoint site from other project documentation to ensure security of data.
Useful resources:
- Store and manage your research data - find more information on SharePoint, Teams, and other options of storing your research project data
- MyHub in Microsoft Teams - guide on requesting the creation of a new Teams/SharePoint
If you've got external collaborators, they may need a Griffith account to access certain systems.
A guest account is for short term access up to a maximum of 10 working days and can be requested at the guest account website.
If your research project requires a code repository, we have a Gitlab server available to all Griffith researchers and staff members. This is a place to store programming code in a safe place, housed at Griffith University.
Once you request access (follow the Notes section below), you can log in with your normal S Number and Password. Gitlab enables you to have private repositories and share those with your team or with external collaborators.
Notes:
The Griffith Gitlab is only accessible on campus or by using the Griffith VPN.
- Your account is not created until you attempt to log in for the first time. Please attempt to sign in once before submitting an access request.
- New Gitlab accounts are automatically blocked due to an in-built security feature of Gitlab. To unblock your account and gain access to Gitlab, you can submit a request to eResearch Support.
The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) website is full of helpful resources. There you'll find information on collaborating on datasets or accessing the ARDC Nectar Research Cloud. Explore the ARDC website to see if they have something helpful to you/your project.
