Title: Data Management Essentials
Abstract: Data Management is increasingly
required by funding agencies in several nations around the world. Most res
earchers are familiar with this new requirement, but many do not know how t
o prepare data for archiving properly. CCIN/PDC has worked closely with the
Polar data community in Canada and internationally to develop guidelines b
ased on stakeholder feedback, as well as implementing data archiving for a
number of Canadian national research programs, and so we are well positione
d to help others understand and implement them effectively. This webinar wi
ll help students and researchers understand why data management is importan
t, what the best practices are, how best to undertake it, as well as addres
s concerns about sharing data. We believe that through education and traini
ng, data contributors are capable of attaining success through preparation
proactively, rather than reactively.
