Better Research IV: A Guide to Efficient Research Practices In-Person / Online
Managing data in a research project should be involved in each step of the research process. The data lifecycle provides a high-level overview of the stages involved in successful management and preservation of data for use and reuse. A simple tool to help you keep track of all the data management elements throughout your project is a checklist.
In this session, we will walk through each stage of the lifecycle using the Research Data Management Checklist. You will have time to plan your own research and ask questions about documentation, storage, quality assurance, and sharing. This will be an interactive working session, so please come prepared to work individually or with others on your team.
