What is Data Management?
Research data management involves activities researchers do to organize, describe, preserve, and share their data. Data management practices are integral to the entire research lifecycle, from planning for what kind of data you will collect to depositing your dataset in a repository.
Why?
As technology has made it easier to share digital files, and as funders and journals increasingly require data sharing to support reproducibility, transparency, and FAIR (i.e., Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data, data management has become an important skill for researchers to master.
