This is a REd Synchronous class

Class Description: Research data come in many shapes and forms—physical or digital, big or small, uniform or varied. Whatever their form, data are the evidence for your research findings and proper data management is critical for good research practice and compliance. Research data management is “The organization, documentation, storage, and preservation of the data resulting from the research process” (NNLM). In order to manage data properly, researchers will need to be aware of key considerations in each of the above areas, organization, documentation, storage, and preservation. This course will cover the research data lifecycle along with key practices and decisions in each stage. Additionally, the course will include how data management can be leveraged to make the research process smoother using tools and resources available on campus.

Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of this course participants will be able to:

• Describe the research data lifecycle.
• Define data management and its importance.
• List at least three resources to facilitate data management.
