The Economic and Social Data Service will be holding a two day training event on the 26th and 27th April on data management:
This workshop will enable participants to develop an awareness of the knowledge and professional skills in this area. Our two-day workshop will cover presentations and interactive activities that focus on all kinds of social science data – quantitative and qualitative across the following seven areas of data management identified by the UK Data Archive:
- ‘why share’ data and the benefits of good data management
- data management planning for researchers and research centres
- documenting and contextualising your data
- formatting your data
- storing your data, including data security, data transfer, encryption, and file sharing
- ethics and consent
- data copyright
This course is offered as part of the ESRC Advanced Training Network.
