Course presentation
Are you struggling to keep track of your research data files? Are you sure your files are in a format that is easy to share and archive?
In this module, you will learn about best practices for data organization and documentation, and about metadata. We will discuss structuring project directories and using the file formats most suited for long-term archiving. We will also introduce the concept of metadata and discuss how to document your research data in a clean and systematic way.
We will wrap up with a question and answer session where you will be able to ask us any questions you have about data organisation, metadata, and documentation.
