Data Management Essentials

If you're doing research, chances are you’re collecting and managing research data. Small changes to your data management practices can make a big difference during research and when you are ready to share the results.

Topics covered in this session: how to securely store and organize your data; keep track of changes to your files; create documentation/metadata; and submit your data for publication. These practices will ensure that everyone, including you, can use and reuse your data in the weeks, months, and years to come.

These sessions are also available via the Hardin Library Open Workshops (HOW) page

Data Sharing and Publication

You’ve received funding for a project, and your research funder expects you to share the data. Or perhaps you are working on an article, and the journal requires you to share your data. In this workshop, we’ll walk through the process of preparing data for sharing or publication, important decisions to make, and ways to enable your data to have a broader impact.
