Research Data Management Workshop for GSLS PhD students New
Description
PREVENT RESEARCH DISASTERS THROUGH GOOD DATA MANAGEMENT
- How much data would you lose if your laptop was stolen?
- Have you ever emailed your colleague a file named 'final_final_versionEDITED'?
- Do you know what your funder expects you to do with your research data?
As a researcher, you will encounter research data in many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications.
Whether you create, receive or collect this information, you will need to organise it.
