Research Data Management
Research Data Management is becoming increasingly important. Creating a plan at the beginning of your project enables you to be more efficient with regards to data creation, be compliant with regulations and policies and address who is responsible for what.
Develop your knowledge by using the Library’s Research Data Management Guide and make use of the eResearch Consultancy service or the weekly e-Research drop- clinics.
Data Handling
Good data organization is the foundation of any research project. Most researchers have data in spreadsheets, so it’s the place that many research projects start.
In order to use tools that make computation more efficient, such as programming languages like R or Python, we need to structure our data the way that computers need the data. Since this is where most research projects start, this is where we want to start too!
In this lesson, you will learn:
Good data entry practices - formatting data tables in spreadsheets
How to avoid common formatting mistakes
Approaches for handling dates in spreadsheets
Basic quality control and data manipulation in spreadsheets
Exporting data from spreadsheets
