Introduction to Research Data Management

This workshop will introduce the main concepts of Research Data Management – or RDM – including the research data life cycle, Tri-Council requirements, as well as supports and services offered at UBC. The course will then introduce learners to a mock project and dataset arranged in a file hierarchy with poorly named folders and files, and go through a hands-on exercise to clean the structure and file names following best practices.

Susan Atkey is a Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian at UBC Library, working with Linguistics, Anthropology, Hispanic Studies, and Central & Eastern European Studies. Her Research Data Management focus is on the management of language and linguistics research data. She is a member of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Linguistics Data Interest Group.

This workshop is part of the RDM Fall Series 2020.
