Managing your Research Data for Researchers (Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences)

Prerequisites

Undertaking good Research Data Management is a key responsibility as a researcher and it prevents disasters. 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 look after it properly.

Managing digital information properly is a complex issue. Doing it correctly from the start could save you a lot of time and hassle when preparing a publication or writing up your thesis.

Please note: This session will also be offered, either online or in person, in Lent and Easter terms, with dates to be confirmed.
