The Data Management Workbook
Data management and sharing are standard expectations of researchers across the sciences. But while you might have been given some basic guidelines and requirements for a data management plan, it's not always easy to put these into practice or figure out how to adapt them to your specific research. The Data Management Workbook helps researchers design useful data-management plans through a step-by-step series of structured exercises, worksheets and checklists, including:
- creating a data dictionary
- evaluating a lab notebook
- finding the best way to organise your files
- setting up useful file naming conventions
- writing effective README.txt files
- selecting the right data repository
- determining data stewardship
- preparing data for future use
Suitable for researchers working in many different disciplines, The Data Management Workbook also shows how to customise data-management plans to better fit your individual workflows, methodologies, laboratories and datasets. Author Kristin Briney builds on the foundations in her previous book, Data Management for Researchers, to help bridge the gap between understanding the principles and being able to implement data management as part of your research practice.
Kristin Briney is the Biology & Biological Engineering Librarian at the California Institute of Technology.
