Research Data Management for Neuroscience
Note: This workshop is for students on the neuroscience training grants.
Learning about best practices for data management in the research cycle is the first step to comply with funding policies and to make your research more shareable, reproducible, efficient, and sustainable. In this session, you will learn recommended practices for making research data and metadata FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) in the context of experimental or computational research. Topics will include file naming conventions, folder management, data storage, versioning, Data Management Plans, and README files. We will also include a description (or demo if needed) of tools and resources that the Libraries provides to support your data management journey. Good research data management practices will make the publishing process easier and ensure that other members of the lab can find and reuse your data after you leave.
